British-Australian multinational mining company Rio Tinto is set to develop two 5.25MW solar farms in the Gove Peninsula of the Northern Territory, Australia.
European floating solar (FPV) company SolarDuck has installed an offshore FPV pilot site in the Dutch North Sea.
French PV manufacturing startup Carbon has announced plans for its next facility, a research and development (R&D) and training facility in Istres, that it aims to build near the south coast of France.
European electricity trade association Eurelectric has published its latest figures into the European energy mix, and reports that, in the first half of the year, renewable energy accounted for more than half of the continent’s power supply.
“It’s been a massive disappointment,” says Gunter Erfurt, CEO of Meyer Burger, of the EU’s efforts to support solar manufacturing.
The falling costs of solar and wind power have increased their value as a hedge against wholesale power price fluctuations, but due to market and contractual structures, the benefits to US consumers in the form of lower bills are not always felt.
Balance of system (BOS) component manufacturing for the solar PV industry could account for 75% of industry investment in the Asia-Pacific region by 2050, as opposed to manufacturing in the silicon solar value chain.
The renewable energy landscape in Southeastern Europe (SEE) is poised for significant transformation with green hydrogen production via electrolysis emerging as a key driver. This article delves into how green hydrogen can act as a catalyst for increasing demand, stabilising electricity prices, and fostering the sustained development of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems in the region.
The Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC) has published a ‘final rule’ that it claims will “create a more clear and pragmatic process to speed up grid connections” across the country and aid solar deployment.
The EU has published the Net-Zero Industry Act (NZIA) in the Official Journal of the European Union, meaning the act will come into force on 29 June 2024 for all 27 member states.
Cost and risk factors can make countries facing energy access issues the most difficult for developers to build solar projects, despite their huge potential. Tom Kenning reports on two plug-and-play solutions that may provide a solution in off-grid locations.
Swiss-owned solar manufacturer Meyer Burger has started production at its heterojunction (HJT) module assembly plant in Goodyear, Arizona.
