Global inverter supplier FIMER has announced the launch of two new platforms for the utility-scale solar sector that are designed to serve both decentralised and centralised systems
New solar and wind assets in the US are now cheaper to operate than nearly 80% of existing coal-fired generators in the country and could replace the asset class while delivering numerous benefits to consumers, a report has found.
Having been hailed as the new king of electricity markets, Liam Stoker charts solar’s journey up until this point, explores how it has earned the crown and poses the question: what next for PV?
Solar is now cheapest form of new electricity in a host of international markets, driven by cost reductions and growth of bifaciality, large-area solar modules and trackers.
Solar PV modules based on 210mm cells produce the best levelised cost of energy (LCOE) and deliver improved balance of system (BOS) costs, according to an evaluation conducted by independent advisory DNV GL.
The new episode of the Solar Media Podcast is out now, as Liam Stoker and Andy Colthorpe try to make sense of the US election result and what President-Elect Joe Biden may do for the green economy.
The cost of generating energy from utility-scale solar and wind continues to decline and maintain competitiveness with the marginal cost existing fossil fuel-powered plants.
