Saudi Arabia’s solar market
Saudi Arabia aims to add 10 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2027, with solar to account for the lion’s share. The Middle East Solar Industry Association (MESIA) describes the main market drivers that could make this target achievable.
Bureau Veritas reports strong interest in hydrogen certification
Bureau Veritas tells pv magazine that there is a great deal of interest in hydrogen certification schemes in Europe, Australia, the United States, and the Middle East.
The Hydrogen Stream: Europe to launch hydrogen auctions
The European Commission says it will set up the new European Hydrogen Bank by the end of this year, with additional plans to hand out 10-year contracts in a new hydrogen auction. Linde Engineering, meanwhile, is teaming up with several other companies to test solid oxide electrolyzer cells (SOEC) and ammonia cracking technology.
Transparent advantage – Why transparent backsheet bifacial modules can beat out the cumbersome competition
In this pv magazine Webinar, we will discuss the advantages of transparent backsheet bifacial modules compared to double glass products. With a focus on Jolywood’s latest module, attendees will gain insights on the latest technological improvements and expel doubts about long-term stability and water permeability.
TOPCon’s time to shine
Several of the world’s largest PV manufacturers are making the switch to n-type tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) cells, in search of higher performance and longer lifetimes. With gigawatts of manufacturing capacity up and running in 2023, TOPCon is described by many as a mature technology today. In this pv magazine Webinar, we will examine the performance and durability advantages that n-type TOPCon cells and modules achieve – with case studies from modules deployed in the Middle East/North Africa region.
Israel authorizes bilateral PPAs
Israel’s new rules for power purchase agreements (PPA) are expected to spur development, especially in the solar sector.
Utility-scale PV and string inverter market trends
In this pv magazine Webinar, we’ll hear about utility-scale PV market developments in Europe and accompanying technology trends. String inverter market changes and the changing equation for LCOE will be brought into the spotlight.
The Hydrogen Stream: Europe introduces new green hydrogen rules
The European Commission has presented the final version of its new rules for green hydrogen, with looser requirements to qualify hydrogen as “green.”
Integration of EV charging stations and renewable energy resources
A new research paper proposes an optimal planning technique to identify the locations and sizes of electric-vehicle (EV) charging stations with controlled charging and hybrid wind and PV systems in a multi-microgrid.
New agrivoltaic project to test crop-responsive PV trackers for greenhouses
An international consortium led by Israel’s Al-Zahrawi Society has launched the Regace project to develop agrivoltaic solutions for greenhouses. It will investigate the performance of a new tracking system across locations and climates and use carbon dioxide enrichment to improve crop yield.
