Kostal and EPC have built a solar system with an output of 1 MW on the roof of an old tobacco processing plant. The bifacial modules ensure a high yield, which the inverters can convert.
RWE is making good progress in expanding its Iberian solar business. The company has commissioned its 46-MW ground-mounted Morgavel solar farm in Portugal.
Sharp announced its partnership with Indox Group, a prominent player in the Spanish solar industry. This strategic collaboration aims to bring forward sustainable solar solutions in Spain.
The first part of Furuseth Solkraftverk in Stor-Elvdal, Norway's first large-scale solar power plant, was recently connected to the grid and is now producing electricity on an area of around 200 hectares.
RWE starts construction of a ground-mounted solar farm in the province of Badajoz. Construction works for in total 100 MW solar capacity underway.
The first larger electric ship for scheduled services on Lake Constance has been christened. The catamaran holds 300 passengers and produces up to 20 percent of the required traction current with transparent solar modules integrated into the open deck.
RWE starts construction of a 44 MW ground-mounted solar farm in Portugal. Construction works are underway; full commissioning is expected in 2023.
Commissioning of the two 150 MW solar parks in Brandenburg will take place in stages by end of March, EnBW announced. They are combined with 3.9 MWh battery storage systems each and use bifacial solar modules.
Sungrow signed an inverter supply contract for the 200 MW Kom Ombo project in Egypt, located within a desert area of Kom Ombo town in the Aswan Governorate of the Arab Republic of Egypt.
The trend towards bifacial solar modules continues. Schletter has supplied the mounting systems in Spain for a 2 MW open area plant with a new module clamp adapter. This reduces shading on the underside of the module considerably.
Shipments of LONGi’s high-efficiency bifacial solar modules have now reached 10GW, with expectations that production will reach 12GW by the end of 2020.
JinkoSolar supplies Swan bifacial PV modules to Juwi Hellas for the biggest bifacial solar project ever built in Europe.
The solar industry faces challenges relating to the need to optimize resources with the aim of reducing the levelized cost of energy (LCOE). In this sense, solar tracker selection and solar tracker suitability for the specific conditions of each site are paramount for project development.
