Jules Scully explores how customised installation techniques supported the development of Singapore's largest floating solar project to date, the 60MWp Tengeh Floating Solar Farm.
In a somewhat turbulent, but always interesting year for solar PV, we’ve seen supply chain volatility and subsequent pricing concerns, a burgeoning technology arms race and a new regime in the US shake off the shackles of the four years prior. But what were PV Tech’s top ten stories of 2021?
New technologies are emerging to help constrained grids integrate an increasing number of solar projects. Molly Lempriere takes a look at three case studies of where technology is helping to decarbonise the grid faster.
Accurate generation modelling and forecasting is integral to not just the financial performance of operational solar farms, but how they are integrated into modern grids. A study from Monash University in Australia has proven how artificial intelligence approaches can help drastically improve performance forecasts. Dr. Christoph Bergmeir, who led that study, details its key learnings.
As 2021 draws to a close, PV Tech is reviewing the year in solar, reflecting on some of the biggest stories and hottest trends of the last 12 months. Today we look at the impact of soaring prices and logistics challenges during the fourth quarter.
As 2021 draws to a close, PV Tech is reviewing the year in solar, reflecting on some of the biggest stories and hottest trends of the last 12 months. In today’s review we look back on the industry’s third quarter, which saw an escalation of trade disputes between China and the US.
Australian mining company Ark Energy has announced it is to acquire a 100% interest in utility-scale wind and solar energy developer Epuron Holdings Pty.
Solar manufacturer Xinyi Solar is to diversify into polysilicon production, launching a joint venture to establish a production base in Yunnan, China, with an initial capacity of 60,000 metric tons (MT).
New research has revealed that solar PV and wind continue to be the cheapest new-build electricity generation options in Australia, even when considering their additional integration costs such as energy storage and transmission.
With reductions in wafer prices now sustained and further reductions expected, Carrie Xiao assesses the potential for cell and module prices to fall in tandem and speaks to manufacturers and developers in China.
