Europe has the potential to scale up the manufacture of multi-junction cells and bifacial modules to help achieve its goal of becoming the first climate-neutral continent, a new report suggests.
RainWise has introduced the ‘PVmet 500’ weather station series for commercial and utility-scale PV power plants, which is said to be the world’s first compact and customizable multi-function professional grade weather station specifically designed for PV efficiency monitoring. The PVmet 500 provides a cost-effective solution, measurement accuracy, and IEC-61724-1 compliance and handles multiple communication protocols for fast field acceptance.
Researchers from Singapore institute find duo represents most LCOE-efficient combination across 93% of the world, with dual-axis trackers still too costly to become mainstream choice.
We take a sneak peek at some of the new and exciting findings expected to be revealed in the ‘2020 PV Module Reliability Scorecard’ that is undertaken each year by PV Evolution Labs (PVEL). As with last year’s edition, this Scorecard is published in partnership with DNV GL.
China-based PV manufacturer starts deliveries of its n-type TOPCon high-efficiency bifacial solar modules to ACWA Power's 500MW-plus Oman Ibri II PV project.
Manufacturer tells PV Tech of ambitions to triple annual shipments to the country within three years and stage a shift to bifacial to better serve utility-scale projects.
Single-axis solar tracker firm, Soltec has reported a range of bifacial module and tracker performance results from its Bifacial Tracker Evaluation Center (BiTEC) in Livermore, California, showing an advantage in using a 2P configuration and an overall bifacial gain of 15.7%.
Since the 15th century we know that the earth is round and since the 16th century we have accept that the earth is orbiting around the sun. However, the heliocentric system was not easy to accept by many disbelievers.
Mix of economics and geopolitics will take global capacity past 21GW as roll-out booms across US, Middle East, Australia, Europe but testing and data must improve, firm says.
