Enel Green Power’s 170MW PV plant in Tarquinia, which is integrated with medicinal herb, olive oil and livestock feed production, will also support biodiversity with borage used to attract bees.
According to BSW solar, questions about the mobilisation of storage and the appropriate assessment of required market premiums and maximum bid values for commercial PV investments were largely left out.
China's PV module companies released their financial reports for 2022 and the first quarter of 2023 at the end of April, with some of the leading manufacturers posting strong performance.
Combining solar plants with agriculture is becoming more prevalent in markets globally, increasing the availability of sites for new PV projects while reducing land-use conflicts. Will Norman details how the industry can take advantage of agrivoltaic opportunities while navigating construction, operation and maintenance challenges.
Falling solar module prices in recent years mean it can be beneficial to oversize the DC capacity in PV plants. John Leslie of BTY presents findings from a study that suggests developers should, in certain cases, investigate using higher DC/AC ratio designs.
Solar module supplier Maxeon aims to turn the negative adjusted EBITDA around through investing in technology and increasing customer value, in addition to contiuning investing in talents, according to the company’s CEO Bill Mulligan and CTO Matt Dawson.
Amid an increasingly unpredictable environment and a rise in extreme weather events, the solar industry must properly use its available data to protect assets and reduce risks, writes Gareth Brown, CEO of digital asset performance technology provider Clir Renewables.
