The head of the International Solar Alliance (ISA) has said that more than 100 projects will be signed under the Alliance’s umbrella by April this year.

Upendra Tripathy, interim director general of ISA also announced that multiple companies had exchanged LoIs and MoUs regarding nine solar-related projects at the World Future Energy Summit (WFES), in Abu Dhabi, thus kick-starting the ISA's role of translating ‘Action into Transaction’. The companies included Vyonarc Development, Greenko Solar, Gensol Group and Spain-based Solarig, Shakti Pump, Refex Energy, Amplus Solar, TATA Power, Jackson Solar and Zodiac Energy.

Tripathy was speaking at the ISA Forum at WFES, where Indian power minister R.K. Singh also announced that the government of India is setting up a US$350 million solar development fund to finance projects.

As he has often done since coming into his ministerial role, Singh once again claimed that India would achieve its 175GW renewable energy target well before its deadline.

The ISA Framework Agreement entered into force on 6 December 2017, making it formally a treaty-based International Intergovernmental Organization, headquartered in Gurugram, India. The ISA Framework Agreement has been signed by 48 countries.

Understanding bifacial’s true potential: technology innovation and technical bankability of bifacial

  • Oct 07, 2019
  • WEBINAR
  • PV Tech Event

The deployment of bifacial PV technology is growing rapidly. It has proven to be the most effective solution to reduce levelised energy costs (LCOE) and increase the Investment Rate of Return (IRR) of PV systems, offering substantially improved energy yield compared to the use of standard mono-facial modules. Even though the concept is not new, it has been a niche technology for many years with uncertainties in predicting performance and optimizing installations. Today, bifacial technology is becoming mainstream, with capacity available at the multi-gigawatt scale and with corresponding global deployment of project pipelines. Join this webinar, presented by Andrea Viaro, as he discusses the award-winning Swan bifacial module with transparent backsheet from DuPont, its features, benefits and differences vs. standard glass-glass modules. Jinko Solar’s new bifacial technology innovations will also be highlighted, specifically covering profitability in deployment at utility-scale PV power plants. Andrea will be joined by Dr.Lars Podlowski who will give a comprehensive introduction to all aspects of bifacial PV technology, with a special focus on benefits and risks industry buyers and investors should pay attention to.
