The third bidding window for South Africa’s national renewable energy initiative closes today amid expectations of a surge in competition for the available PV capacity.
Having gone through a major financial restructuring, SolarWorld is starting to tackle its manufacturing competitive issues with a round of technology upgrades and new product introductions.
Major equipment supplier to the PV industry, Meyer Burger has reported a better than expected order intake in the last six-weeks, citing it as a “turning point in customer behaviour.”
The €50.8 million (US$67.5 million) funding budget for small scale PV systems has had more than 90,000 applications for the 15% rebate on PV equipment purchased from 2012 to 2013.
