FuturaSun wins the Archiproducts Design Award 2023 with its Silk® Plus Silver coloured photovoltaic modules
Silk® Pro, Premium and Plus series certified for resistence to ammonia and salt mist
These certificates, issued in accordance with IEC 61701 and IEC 62716, confirm that the photovoltaic modules can also be used in areas with ammonia-rich atmospheres, such as animal farms or saline environments. For the latter, resistance class 6 was obtained, which is the highest available.

FuturaSun renews MCS certification for its Silk® range solar panels
FuturaSun is proud to announce the recent renewal of MCS (Microgeneration Certification Scheme) certification for its Silk® Plus, Silk Premium and Silk Pro solar panels.
A milestone in British solar energy, MCS certification is a confirmation of the company’s role and its commitment to providing high-quality photovoltaic solutions for a rapidly growing market.
Perovskite: the future of solar power
What’s perovskite, and why can it revolutionise solar panel technology? In the past few years, perovskite has garnered significant attention from scientists and researchers worldwide, primarily because of its distinctive properties and remarkable versatility. Gustavus Rose discovered perovskite in the Ural Mountains of Russia in 1839. He named the mineral after Russian mineralogist and minister…

The Evolution of Solar cell Technologies: A compass
The world of photovoltaic technology research and development has, since its inception, been in pursuit of increasing the conversion efficiency: producing more electricity using less space has obvious advantages, not the least of which is the reduction in cost.

Installation methods of photovoltaic modules and possible mechanical failures
The installation may initially appear to be perfect, but over time, if some important factors are neglected when designing the system, problems may arise due to mechanical failures of the cells or the module itself.

Can I walk on photovoltaic modules?
It’s best NOT to walk on photovoltaic modules, because such localised mechanical load generated beneath our feet can result in the mechanical breakage of cells which we should remember, are 0.2 mm thick slices of silicon.

What’s the temperature coefficient of a photovoltaic panel?
The temperature coefficient is not a secondary parameter when it comes to choosing a photovoltaic module. Let us tell you why.

LID – Light Induced Degradation
LID (Light Induced Degradation) is the degradation of the module arising in the first few hours of exposure to the sun. It particularly affects high efficiency modules.

Delamination
Delamination of the PV module is the detachment, even if only partially, of the encapsulant from the glass or the backsheet…
