As the floating solar sector becomes more mature, larger projects are being deployed in a range of water bodies, presenting a host of construction challenges. Jonathan Tourino Jacobo talks to project developers about how the latest technology is driving growth.
As solar projects become ever larger, sites with slopes and uneven terrain are becoming the norm for project development, leading tracker manufacturers to adapt their offerings accordingly. Molly Lempriere details the latest launches that aim to address this issue.
Solar tracker manufacturer PV Hardware has planned to build a new solar structure and tracker facility occupying 65,000m2 in an industrial park in Valencia, Spain.
SolarEdge has become the first vendor to meet the South Australian government's new dynamic export regulations, which aim to stabilise the grid with sophisticated yet remote cloud control technologies.
Australia’s Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) has awarded A$41.5 million (US$28.51 million) in funding to 13 research projects aimed at reducing solar costs.
Using an in-house tool and PVsyst simulation software, a team from Chint New Energy Technology Co. analyse the LCOE of utility-scale solar systems in various countries based on three technologies: PERC, TOPCon and HJT.
Solar tracker manufacturer Soltec has signed an agreement with Canadian Solar and SPIC to supply 738MW of its trackers to two Brazilian solar projects.
US solar tracker manufacturer Nextracker has signed a master supply agreement with Amara Raja Power Systems to deliver its trackers to a 306MWp PV project from utility NTPC in India.
Tracker manufacturer Ideematec has signed a tracker supply agreement with utility-scale developer Solar Proponent for some of its solar projects in Texas, the US.
Origami Solar was founded in 2020 and is commercialising a roll form steel module frame solution that it claims can deliver cost savings, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and offer installation and O&M advantages.
