India surpasses 7 GW of unsubsidized solar capacity
India added 1.9 GW of open-access solar capacity between January and September, up 96% year on year.
Goldi Solar releases 520-550 W line of mono PERC solar panels
India’s Goldi Solar has unveiled the HELOC Pro series of mono PERC solar modules, which are built with PV cells made in India. They are available in mono facial and bifacial variants, with power outputs ranging from 520 W to 550 W.
Big solar already pulling its weight on emission reduction – especially in Chile
Following a disappointing COP27 climate change summit in November, solar industry veteran Philip Wolfe reviews the contribution utility-scale PV is starting to make to emissions reduction.
India installed 11.2 GW of solar in January-September period
India added 9.3 GW of utility-scale solar in the first nine months of 2022, as well as 1.3 GW of rooftop capacity and 600 MW of offgrid PV projects.
Poweron presents new hybrid inverters for residential solar applications
India’s Poweron has developed wall-mount hybrid solar inverters with nominal power ratings of 3.68 kW, 4.6 kW, and 5 kW. They are compatible with lead-acid and Li-ion batteries.
Gravitricity launches gravity energy storage pilot in India
