Distributed solar PV, and hybrid PV, systems can play a key role in providing grid balancing mechanisms, according to the IEA.

Grid infrastructure has emerged as a key stumbling block in Europe’s transition to a cleaner energy system, says Chris Rosslowe of Ember.

The Queensland government in Australia has confirmed that it has broken ground on its AUS$5 billion (US$3.3 billion) CopperString transmission project.

The world will add 3.8TWac of new solar capacity by 2033, alongside 1.6TW of new wind capacity, according to Wood Mackenzie.

A collective effort will be required to realise the potential of the solar PV industry, according to Sonia Dunlop of the Global Solar Council.

Grid bottlenecks have emerged as a significant obstacle standing in the way of the energy transition in the US.

Ember Climate suggests that the EU will need to invest at least €58.4 billion a year on transmission and distribution grids.

Government has a “significant” role in providing routes to market, according to speakers at Solar Media’s Renewable Energy Revenues Summit.

As Italy’s solar market looks to be finding its feet after a decade of stumbling around below the 1GW mark, 2024 could be the year it starts to cover real ground again.

Despite an awareness of the benefits that co-located storage and solar can offer, the commercial model for such sites has yet to materialise.
