Solar PV deployments increased by 85% year-on-year in 2023, more than any other renewable technology in a year which saw clean energy deployments curb the rise in carbon emissions.

Hail represents a significant threat to PV modules, more so as climate change increases the potential for severe storms.

The selection of a module's technology should be more dependent on effective dollar per watt rather than the cost of the product.

US independent power producer (IPP) Enfinity Global has secured €25 million (US$27 million) in assetco financing towards the construction of a 134MW solar PV project portfolio in Italy.

Spanish independent power producer Grenergy has secured €175 million (US$190 million) in green financing for the construction of 300MW Spanish solar portfolio.

Recurrent Energy, the project development subsidiary of Chinese solar manufacturer Canadian Solar, has closed financing for the 119MW Horus Solar project in the region of Aguascalientes, Mexico.

Alantra Solar said a "significant percentage" of 40 solar PV plants will feature battery energy storage systems.

Solar and energy storage procurement firm Anza has launched a new database platform to aid in the procurement of solar modules.

The projects cover different types of clean energy, including solar, battery energy storage systems (BESS) and microgrids.

The EU highlighted a report showing that agrivoltaics on just 1% of the bloc’s farmland could grow installed solar to approximately 944GW.
