Enel Green Power has begun a new programme to explore how to successfully integrate arable and pastoral farming activities alongside large-scale solar PV projects.
Growatt has launched a powerful 1500V string inverter for large scale solar plants. The MAX 1500V inverter aims to lower LCOE and achieve higher yields for clients.
Major inverter manufacturer SMA Solar Technology has reported preliminary full-year 2020 financial results which met the low end of guidance but also reported a slight decline in fourth quarter sales coupled to plummeting gross margins.
The advancement of solar cell and module technology has meant ever larger, higher power modules are being manufactured, shipped and installed at increasing speeds, placing new importance on product testing and inspection. Here, Enertis explores the role of electroluminescence inspection throughout the supply phase.
Bifacial double-glass solar modules have increased power yields by up to 23% compared to monofacial counterparts a study conducted in China by JA Solar and TÜV Rheinland has found.
Solar is now cheapest form of new electricity in a host of international markets, driven by cost reductions and growth of bifaciality, large-area solar modules and trackers.
