Abstract

Like Mario grabbing a super mushroom, PV modules just keep getting bigger! As they grow, so do the challenges of handling, installing, and testing them in the field. At NREL, we've embarked on our own New Hope - adapting to this size revolution across our tools, transportation, ergonomics, and field compatibility. Join us as we navigate this galactic expansion and keep PV testing at the cutting edge.
