A team of researchers from DEWA R&D Center, Dubai has undertaken a comprehensive review of PV module degradation in desert environments. Their research proposes a new test cycle to identify defects induced in PV modules by harsh desert conditions.

France has revised down its solar PV target by 2035 from 100GW to 90GW in its latest Multiannual Energy Programme (PPE3).

Under the “multi-year” corporate PPA, Prysmian will purchase power from a 150MWp solar PV plant in the Viterbo province in central Italy.

Construction of the solar cell plant is expected to begin in mid-year 2025 with commercial production beginning in the second half of 2026.

The construction of the Lidsø solar park started in the summer of 2024 and it is expected to be commissioned this summer.

The company signed a 25-year power purchase agreement with Egypt Aluminium for a 1.1GW/200MWh solar-plus-storage project in the country.

Consisting of three utility-scale projects – 105MWp, 73MWp and 26MWp, respectively – the projects are expected to be completed in 2026.

CIP said it expected the CI V fund to add up to 30GW of renewable energy generation and storage assets to global energy grids.

US independent power producer (IPP) Catalyze has secured US$400 million in debt facility from investment firm ATLAS SP Partners.

China's latest tender results show the spot price of n-type modules increasing from RMB0.7/W to as much as RMB0.75/W.

Many of the mechanisms used to manage the finances of the solar sector have not kept pace with the rate of capacity additions.

The capacity is spread across three commissioned projects: the 40MWp Greenberry, 40MW Fontenet 3 and the 47MW Amance projects.

Terabase Energy has raised US$130 million in finance to support the scale-up of its Terafab solar project assembly line.
