The levelised cost of electricity (LCOE) of solar in the UK could fall to just £28/MWh by 2040, according to new projections published by the country’s government.
PV Tech continues its deep-dive into the making of Trina Solar’s new Vertex platform, delving into the thought process behind the manufacturer’s ‘low voltage, high current’ approach, how Trina intends to scale up manufacturing, and why it believes the solar supply chain must unite behind 600W+ modules.
Inverter failures and the prevalence of auction-based mechanisms for large-scale solar projects are placing pressure on solar operations and maintenance (O&M) prices, a new report from Wood Mackenzie has found.
This month’s episode of the Solar Media Podcast is now available to listen to, with discussion centring around record low solar prices and tumbling LCOE forecasts.
PV, onshore wind new-builds already the most competitive option for two-thirds of global population, BNEF review finds as lockdown dynamics unlock surge of cheap clean power.
Costs have tumbled to such an extent that new-build LCOEs are catching up with marginal costs of non-renewables, says firm in update that finds storage is too becoming more competitive.
Decade-long plummeting of renewable costs as nuclear became pricier means new solar and wind are the cheaper, time-efficient ally against climate change, new study says.
SPONSORED: In the last decade, the PV market has gone through some incredible transformations. SolarEdge's Lior Handelsman argues that one new shift could be the use of module-level power electronics for utility-scale solar plants.
