Growatt's next generation smart residential inverter, MIN2500-6000TL-X has been approved by Australia's Clean Energy Council (CEC) for installation under the Renewable Energy Certificate scheme.
Major PV materials supplier Heraeus Photovoltaics had launched six, next-generation, high-performance metallization pastes at this year’s SNEC PV Power Expo, which characterises the rapid pace of the upstream PV industry’s renewed focus on technical advancements and cost reductions.
Materials giant is sticking to its rigorous testing, including use of its ‘Tedlar time machine’, and gearing up for a period of greater solar tech diversity.
Van der Valk Solar Systems and BirdBlocker have teamed to bring the ‘BirdBlocker’ device to the UK and Ireland. Birds can build nests under rooftop PV panels, which can result in sound pollution or damage to the panels and PV system. The BirdBlocker system is designed to be installed easily with new panels or retrofit.
The PV industry is undergoing rapid technology changes that have been driven by the well documented, swift adoption of monocrystalline wafers. Less well understood is that, within this wafer technology transition comes a shift to larger wafer sizes and this includes p-type and n-type mono-Si wafers.
Manufacturing roots, staying small, patience with PPAs and avoiding grid speculation will all help seize crown of Europe’s hottest PV market, firm tells PV Tech.
Q CELLS has expanded its direct marketing of solar power to business customers in Germany, with PV plants of 100kWp, upwards. Showcased at Intersolar Europe 2019, Q CELLS is offering turn-key solutions for small and medium-sized businesses in Germany.
By SolarEdge's Lior Handelsman argues the case for MLPE.
SPONSORED: In the last decade, the PV market has gone through some incredible transformations. SolarEdge's Lior Handelsman argues that one new shift could be the use of module-level power electronics for utility-scale solar plants.
Pellucere Technologies has claimed to have developed the world’s first field-installable, anti-reflective, anti-soiling solar panel coating, which is said to boosts energy generation and reduces cleaning. The MoreSun product includes an Anti-Reflective (AR) & Anti-Soiling (AS) silica shield to any solar array.
