Solar fire prevention hinges on data
Nobody wants their PV systems to catch fire, but little is known about how to actually prevent such incidents.
Solar 101: The brains behind the beauty of your solar power system
In addition to converting the output of PV panels from DC to AC, inverters now perform a number of other functions, such as maximizing electricity generation, assessing performance and even shutting down in emergencies.
First reactions to Biden’s US ban on solar imports from China’s Xinjiang province
The Biden Administration’s decision to ban solar imports from four Xinjiang-based polysilicon manufacturers has already raised concerns. One analyst warns of a “significant negative impact” across the U.S. solar industry.
‘Low-cost renewable hydrogen may already be in reach’
If the three record-busting low solar price tariffs recorded in the Middle East in the past 18 months are to be believed, renewables-powered hydrogen in prime sites in the region could already compete with gas-plus-CCS production, according to IRENA. Has the Gulf discovered the new petrol?
US government bans products from four Xinjiang-based solar manufacturers
The four manufacturers are Hoshine Silicon, Daqo, East Hope, and GCL New Energy Material.
