Scientists at Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE) and weather protection provider VOEN have developed lightweight modules for agrivoltaics (agriPV) applications.
Held by Italy’s energy management agency Gestore dei Servizi Energetici (GSE), the tender will allocate €323 million (US$349 million) to fund agriPV projects.
French independent power producer (IPP) TSE has secured €65 million (US$68 million) bond financing from asset management firm Eiffel Investment Group for a 800MW agrivoltaics portfolio.
Pioneering projects in China are demonstrating how the potential of solar power can be harnessed across a wide range of new settings. Carrie Xiao explores the many applications for PV beyond traditional power plants.
