Solar offshore specialist Oceans of Energy has partnered with 15 European companies to scale up offshore solar technology in the North Sea.

PV industry continues to take increased share of current generation despite power demand falling across the globe due to COVID-19, Simon Brown of global consultancy RINA tells PV Tech.

PV Tech caught up with Ugo Salerno, chairman and CEO of Italy-based advisory RINA, alongside the firm’s technical director for power and renewables, Simon Turner, to discuss storage retrofits in the UK, financing floating PV and upgrading hastily built European solar plants.

The World Bank plans to make energy storage an integral part of its ‘Scaling Solar’ program, that until now has been focused purely on facilitating large-scale solar tendering, predominantly in Africa.

Dealing with module warranties from out of business manufacturers is a standard problem in today’s market, according to representatives from an advisory firm that oversaw one of the largest renewable energy deals to date.
