Edisun Microgrids has launched the first dual-axis solar tracker strategically designed and built for the commercial and industrial rooftop sector. ‘PV Booster’ claims to provide yields of 20% and higher, compared to fixed mounted modules.
skytron energy has further enhanced its ‘PVGuard’ PV power plant supervision platform. Version 2.4 of PVGuard focuses on fleet management that enables system owners and operators to monitor the technical performance of all PV power plants, inverters and alarms across their entire fleet in a single view, which can be filtered or sorted to suit individual requirements.
At the beginning of August, major PV inverter manufacturer Sungrow Power Supply Co., raised around US$400 million in new capital via a private placement of shares with multiple Chinese banks.

The rooftop solar market in India has grown at a CAGR of 98% in the last four years. As of 30 September 2016, total installed capacity stands at 1,020MW. Bridge to India's Jyoti Gulia looks at both the causes and the path ahead.
Having recently revealed that ‘Silicon Module Super League’ (SMSL) member JinkoSolar had become the largest solar PV module manufacturer in 2016, PV Tech gets to grips with the key factors behind the success.
PV Tech can reveal the preliminary Top 5 solar module manufacturers in 2016, based as usual on final shipment guidance from third quarter financial results.
As the pace of commissioning commercial PV systems increases while in parallel current systems mature, the market is looking at PV systems as more than just a source of clean energy, they're an investment, writes Lior Handelsman.
The markets can be a frustrating place for the solar industry. Just ask Elon Musk. The negative perception of the SolarCity/Tesla merger often signals a lack of awareness of how far solar, energy storage and EVs have come.
