In its 3Q 2024 Global PV Market Outlook, the commodity market research firm BNEF has revised its target for solar PV additions in 2024 to reach 592GW.

The stalking horse bid from Complete Solaria was set at US$45 million earlier this month when SunPower filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

The Bureau of Land Management has proposed using 31 million acres of public land for the development of solar PV across 11 US western states.

A report from Ember estimates that 39GW of agriPV could be deployed above shade-benefitting crops such as berries.

Coined as Europe’s largest agriPV park by the companies, the Klimapark Steinhöfel spans over 500 hectares of land and eight districts in Brandenburg, eastern Germany.

Ontario’s request for proposal will seek nearly all technologies – solar PV, wind, nuclear, natural gas, biomass and hydroelectric – while limiting solar PV’s deployment on agricultural land.

Construction of the Rosamond South I project, in Kern County, has already started and is expected to reach commercial operations in 2025.

Jonathan Touriño Jacobo looks at Southern Europe, where pricing, grid capacity and the ban of PV on farmland are causing headaches.

One of the first projects to benefit from Sunly's securing the €300 million debt financing is a 244MW solar PV plant in Estonia.

Enfinity Global is currently building 416MW of capacity in Italy across 17 projects, which have secured long-term power purchase agreements.
