TOPCon : dominant plus que jamais
Lors de ce pv magazine Webinar réunissant Mejdi Khayati, Responsable Technique pour JinkoSolar MENA, et Nicolas Chouleur, partenaire au cabinet de conseil Everoze, nous aborderons tout le potentiel de la technologie de cellules photovoltaïques TOPCon pour les producteurs et les développeurs de projets, ainsi que les perspectives de croissance du marché.
Effect of wind on solar panel cooling in desert areas
Researchers in Morocco have carried out an experimental investigation which has confirmed that even in hot desert climates, the wind has a positive effect on reducing the PV module temperature, improving the electrical production as well as the conversion efficiency.
Anti-soiling PV coating delivers 3% boost in energy production
A study conducted in the semi-arid weather conditions of Ben Guerir, Morocco, evaluated the performance of antistatic and hydrophobic coatings for photovoltaic solar panels. After nine months of operation, the PV panels with coatings developed by Portuguese company ChemiTek produced an average of 3% more energy than the uncoated ones.
The Hydrogen Stream: Australia to invest $1.35 billion in hydrogen
The Australian government has presented its 2023-2024 budget, with AUD 2 billion ($1.35 billion) to be invested in hydrogen, while Austria, Germany, and Italy said they have started moving forward on a southern hydrogen corridor from North Africa to Northern Europe.
World’s largest phosphate miner turns to solar
OCP Group has unveiled a plan to power its operations in Morocco with 200 MW of solar plants, backed by $110.5 million of financing.
UK government scrutinizing British-Moroccan solar-wind interconnector
The UK government is now evaluating a 3,800-km submarine cable that Xlinks plans to build. It will connect a 10.5 GW wind-solar facility in Morocco to locations in Wales and England. The UK authorities might eventually buy power from the plant via a contract-for-difference scheme.
The Hydrogen Stream: Lhyfe, Centrica to develop offshore green hydrogen
Lhyfe has revealed plans to jointly develop offshore renewable green hydrogen with Centrica in the United Kingdom. Separately, the Paris-listed hydrogen producer said it has also acquired a stake in Finland’s Flexens.
The Hydrogen Stream: Honda reveals plans to halve fuel cell costs by 2030
Honda has revealed a new hydrogen strategy, while Air Liquide and TotalEnergies have announced a new hydrogen joint venture.
Only5mins! – ‘Additionality’ must be adhered to in Africa’s green hydrogen development
Chigozie Nweke-Eze is an economist, geographer and founder of Integrated Africa Power. He sat down with pv magazine to discuss green hydrogen development in Africa, from the project pipeline to the necessity of “additionality” when it comes to ensuring hydrogen doesn’t become yet another exploited African resource.
Impact of dust, heat, soiling on solar project performance
Scientists in Morocco recently conducted a year-long study on the impacts of soiling on PV modules in arid, dusty conditions. They found that soiling could contribute to daily performance losses of as much as 15%.
