New handbook is meant to guide developers through plant design, energy yields, green impacts, financial risks and other barriers slowing segment's growth to becoming 400GWp market.
How PV module supply has now become a marketing and trade-show related game of numbers; what is driving this, and why is it perhaps causing more concern to the very grouping it is meant to impress – the end-user.
According to the latest ‘Solar EPC and O&M Provider Tracker’ report from IHS Markit, the EPC sector has yet to experience any effective market leaders or consolidation.
By adopting and modifying technology initially developed by NASA, SunSniffer is able to provide STC (Standard Test Conditions) values of each individual module, on a constant basis during pv power plant operation. This unique technology has been developed with the German Aerospace Center, which consists of software managing Big Data with artificial intelligence and high-precision measuring hardware.
US-headquartered high-efficiency PV module producer SunPower Corp has secured the module supply deal for innogy’s 349MW PV power plant near Balranald, New South Wales, Australia, the largest plant under construction in the country.
Germany’s Belectric has been handed the contract to perform engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) duties and provide operations and maintenance (O&M) to a 250MW solar park project in India.
Distribution company Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (GUVNL) has invited expressions of interest (EoI) for development of 1GW of PV capacity in a solar park at Dholera Special Investment Region (DSIR), Gujarat.
Smaller companies are finding it increasingly difficult to enter the Indian large-scale solar market and partake in the multi-gigawatts of competitive auctions for PV capacity.
