Work begins on German-Australian ‘hydrogen bridge’
Australia and Germany have officially started a joint-feasibility study on green hydrogen production and trade, or what the German Federal Minister of Research has described as a “hydrogen bridge.”
Full-transparency quality assurance – new and enhanced testing, monitoring, and material controls
Claims of high-quality, highly durable solar modules are regularly made by manufacturers, and warranties are being extended. But how are quality assurance practices keeping step with the claims being made? And how can durable, high performance PV modules be produced while new cell and module technologies, formats and materials are being adopted at an ever-increasing rate?
FRV to add 300 MW in Australia, GRS connects 39 MW
