High Gain Solar Research and Deployment B-Roll

This free, downloadable B-roll footage from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) is for use by news media and education organizations. This high-resolution video features clips of high gain solar panels in Mountain View, California, including shots of a working model of high gain solar at Skyline Solar’s office site, close-up shots of photovoltaic (PV) receivers on panels, close-up shots of the back of PV panels (showing the cooling fins allowing higher temperatures to be used with the panel, a technician checking efficiency and voltage output, a demonstration project producing electricity at a regional bus transit center, wet hipot testing of solar panel durability against moisture, analyzing damage from hail on reflective surfaces, a weatherization test in an accelerated temperature fluctuation test, and accelerated wear testing of a rotation motor over time.
