Solar panel soiling strikes again. Would love to see all the folks with ideas in the comments apply them to solving dust and soil collection on terrestrial solar panels. Earth can get pretty dusty too.

Curious about the reliability of transparent solar panel backsheets? Xiaohong Gu will be presenting National Institute of Standards and Technology ‘s work this morning in area 8 of the 54th IEEE PVSC conference

Finished day 2 of 54th IEEE PVSC with a selfie in front of Independence Hall. Axel Palmstrom Ashley Gaulding

Enjoyed hearing Mariana enlightening the PV community 54th IEEE PVSC about the power of #XANES to characterize PV cells. #operando

Happy to share our recent paper on PVDF-based solar panel backsheets. National Institute of Standards and Technology onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/author/Y…

Did you know? Prior to applying for the #NRC #Research Associateship Programs, you should identify and contact the prospective Adviser for the #research opportunity to ensure mutual interest in #research collaboration. Learn more: ow.ly/hwpH50Kq0Kx #NRC_RAP #Research

Wonderful to see this work published! Happy to still be working on unveiling the mechanism of PVDF-based solar backsheets with Sona and you.

Examining solar panel materials at the microscale, NIST researchers are exploring the timelines and potential causes of cracks and failures. Get the story: linkedin.com/posts/nist_sol…

Different designs of #batteries ages and degrades🪫through different mechanisms! See my latest paper Idaho National Lab in Joule about identifying these aging mechanisms using data evolving along with charging-discharging cycles. #battchat #batterytwitter authors.elsevier.com/c/1gAB3925JEJy…

It’s not too late for the undergrads you know! NIST’s Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship is accepting applications for our 2023 session until February 1. Learn more and spread the word: nist.gov/surf

#photovoltaic reliability researchers. NREL's #DuraMAT program has a postdoc opening. Please apply at the link if interested: nrel.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/NREL/job/Golde…

Had a wonderful afternoon visiting @MMftoney CU Boulder 🦬 and catching up with Nick Weadock . The new lab looks great! Looking forward to #PVRW conference starting tomorrow

Excited to share that Sona Ulicna and I won a poster award at #PVRW last week for our poster ‘PVDF-based backsheet cracking: mapping in-situ phase evolution by X-ray scattering’ which featured work from our recent beamtime SSRL. NREL National Institute of Standards and Technology

🎉Another look at SSRL's history: In 1973, SLAC’s SPEAR storage ring generated the facility’s first X-ray beam (left). The original pilot project to extract these groundbreaking X-rays consisted of rearranged shielding blocks (right). Learn more here: stanford.io/435zVnT
