SunPower, a residential solar installer, has filed for bankruptcy, among the largest in a series of major bankruptcies in the industry. Researchers have developed a quantum particle swarm optimization algorithm for maximum power point tracking, which generates 3.33% more power in higher temperature tests and 0.89% more in partial shading tests compared to conventional swarm optimization algorithms. The discovery could pave the way for more efficient perovskite solar cells. Atlanta Motorsports Park is installing a solar array that will power about 60% of its operations.
