A team of researchers from DEWA R&D Center, Dubai has undertaken a comprehensive review of PV module degradation in desert environments. Their research proposes a new test cycle to identify defects induced in PV modules by harsh desert conditions.

Under the “multi-year” corporate PPA, Prysmian will purchase power from a 150MWp solar PV plant in the Viterbo province in central Italy.

The construction of the Lidsø solar park started in the summer of 2024 and it is expected to be commissioned this summer.

The company signed a 25-year power purchase agreement with Egypt Aluminium for a 1.1GW/200MWh solar-plus-storage project in the country.

In the second half of the year, the country added 1.6GW of rooftop capacity, driving the total installed rooftop solar to more than 25.5G.

Consisting of three utility-scale projects – 105MWp, 73MWp and 26MWp, respectively – the projects are expected to be completed in 2026.

The capacity is spread across three commissioned projects: the 40MWp Greenberry, 40MW Fontenet 3 and the 47MW Amance projects.

Terabase Energy has raised US$130 million in finance to support the scale-up of its Terafab solar project assembly line.

Adapture Renewables has acquired a 110MW solar-plus-storage project from Samsung C&T Renewables in Colorado.

Osaka Gas has partnered with Clean Max Enviro Energy Solutions to form a JV to develop a 400MW renewable energy portfolio in India.
