Fluctuations in solar generation and energy prices during July’s heat dome in the US highlight the need for more nuanced data, says Solargis.

Utility-scale solar is preparing for its next voltage evolution, with 2,000V systems emerging as the successor to the 1,500V standard.

US solar residential installer Sunnova has entered into a stalking horse asset purchase agreement with Omnidian for some of its assets.

Solargis CEO Marcel Suri explores three areas where new standards could help underpin greater efficiency, accuracy and market resilience.

Carlos Rodriguez, Oktoviano Gandhi and Sun Huixuan examine the energy yield performance of different FPV system configurations.

As solar plants age, the possibility of voltage collapse increases. Thomas Mart and Jeetu Jangle of Solarlytics examine the problem.

Equipment-driven underperformance in PV power plants has tripled over the past five years, according to Raptor Maps.

The industry must adopt better approaches to component management, to make more accurate energy yield predictions and optimise PV performance.

Ben Moore reports on RESPONDENT, a European-funded project that uses space technologies to help integrate renewable energy into the grid.

Following reports of 'rogue' communication devices in Chinese solar inverters, the solar industry needs to wake up to cybersecurity risk.
