Short Announcement

We are excited to share that Dr. Lin Huang’s innovative research on photovoltaic (PV) system optimization has been featured in PV Magazine, a leading global platform for solar energy advancements. The article, titled "Study Finds Excessive Row Spacing Has Limited Effect on Improving PV System Performance", highlights Dr. Huang’s work analyzing the balance between row spacing, land use efficiency, and energy output in large-scale solar installations.

Contrary to conventional assumptions, the study reveals that overly wide row spacing offers minimal gains in system performance while significantly increasing land requirements. Dr. Huang’s data-driven approach demonstrates that optimizing tilt angles, module durability, and microclimate factors—rather than excessive spacing—is key to maximizing energy yield and economic viability. These findings provide actionable insights for solar farm design and sustainable land-use practices.

This recognition reflects our team’s dedication to advancing practical, science-based solutions for renewable energy challenges.
