Leading ‘Solar Module Super League’ (SMSL) member, JinkoSolar has set its sights on PV module shipments globally in 2019 reaching between 14GW to 15GW, which would be a new industry record for a module manufacturer after setting a new shipment benchmark of 11.4GW in 2018.

OMV and Verbund will deploy two-site 16MW installation northeast of capital Vienna, a 60,000-panel project set to become operational in late 2020.

Sigma 204MW project in Cádiz province comes amid 794MW new renewable push by group, which already owns 260MW Valdesolar scheme.

Up-and-running installation developed by Thesan Renewable is being described as largest PV project to see the light in Central American state.

The results of the Brazilian A-4 auction yielded a record low solar price of US$17.5/MWh.

Voltalia’s 143MW new trio will supply state rail group SNCF under 25-year PPA, billed as 'unprecedented' in nascent subsidy-free market.
