SolarEdge, Helioplant build 6.3 MW ‘cross-shaped’ bifacial PV system for Alpine regions

Helioplant will leverage SolarEdge’s inverter and power optimization technology to power its cross-shaped bifacial solar system specially designed for snowy Alpine regions with high elevation. They anticipate ski resorts will be a big market for the solution which uses SolarEdge’s technology to overcome shading issues caused by the cross-structure.

Nissan wheels out solar-powered vehicle

The Ariya demonstration vehicle features 3.8 m² of Lightyear’s custom solar panels integrated across the hood, roof, and tailgate. Testing showed that the car could generate 0.5 kWh of solar energy during a 2‑hour, 80 kilometer trip, delivering up to 3 kilometers of range at no extra cost or charging time.

Eskom launches tender for 17 MW solar plant
