Vertical solar modules boost farmland yields and land use. Marius Sinn of Next2Sun explains the benefits and installation approach.
Farmers often have ample roof space, but the cost of installing a PV system can be high. Alternative marketing models now allow them to benefit from solar power with no investment on their part.
Solar installations on water bodies are known to have no impact on water quality – a recent study now shows they also leave plant growth unaffected.
To mitigate land use conflicts between agriculture and photovoltaics, researchers at the University of Sheffield have been investigating the abundant potential of combining the two.
In the US, there are plenty of water reservoirs available to be utilised for PV. As a first step, researchers have calculated the technically possible potential.
With its inverters, Fronius provides safety and self-consumption in solar energy generation and is now expanding its product portfolio with the Fronius GEN24.
In the western cantons of Switzerland, DHP's solar folding roofs span all motorway service stations. This means that a solar output of 45 megawatts can be built up. The electricity is mainly used for electric mobility.
If we hack together, we will make it. That was the message of the German Renewable Energy Federation's (BEE) Energy Dialogue 2023 this week in Berlin.
BIPV modules are interesting alternatives to standard facade elements. The new ColorQuant glass colours were specifically developed to give PV elements a colourful appearance. Holger Geisler, Managing Director at Ceramic Colors Wolbring GmbH, explains the details.
Sener Renewable Investments has launched the first hybrid solar project in Spain that merges CSP technology with molten salt storage and photovoltaic technology.
As part of their presence at the BNEF London Summit on October 18-19, 2021, Sungrow called on the global renewable energy industry to do more on climate action.
At this year’s The smarter E Europe Restart, Sungrow is presenting its latest PV and energy storage portfolio, including the ultra-powerful string inverter SG350HX, a liquid cooled energy storage system and residential PV and storage flagship products.
The company Opes Solutions and the Fraunhofer CSP have developed a flexible standard solar module for vehicle integration.
The Federal Association PV Austria and the Austrian Technology Platform Photovoltaics are organising this year's Solar and Storage Conference in October. The next competition for outstanding BIPV projects will also start at the conference.
As a result of this cooperation, the PV and energy storage portfolio of the German system house will now also available in Switzerland.
LG Electronics’ solar car roof module taps into the mobility segment for PV. The ultra-efficient solar cells have been integrated into the curved shape of a glass car roof.
Solar company My-PV has developed a solar-power system using thermal building component activation in commercial buildings: An electric underfloor heating system releases excess solar energy as heat to the building foundation.
EUPD Research recently published the results of the 13th edition of the Global PV InstallerMonitor 2020/2021 for the Australian market, and the demand-side is very healthy.
The PV supplier is becoming a total energy service provider. Because the PV market and customer needs are changing, customer orientation is becoming a major issue in the energy industry. A software solution helps installers and customer consultants stay on the ball. A practical report from Eturnity.
Solar in Austria is booming. Last year the Austrian Climate Ministry approved a 50-million-euro budget for the development of solar in the country.
What concerns me personally is not directly climate change, but the consumption of resources on our planet. Because all people want to share in the prosperity.
The Elektrizitätswerke Zürich (EWZ) will soon commission a 410 kW photovoltaic system on a dam high up in the mountains. Customers can participate.
As COVID-19 hits the fossil fuel industry, a new report shows that renewable energy is more cost-effective than ever – providing an opportunity to prioritize clean energy in economic recovery packages and bring the world closer to meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement.
