Endesa switches on 1.1 MW/ 5.5 MWh redox flow battery in Spain

Spanish utility Endesa has activated a 1.1 MW/5.5 MWh redox flow battery in Spain. It says it is the vanadium redox flow storage system connected to a PV plant in Europe. It is situated near Mallorca, in the Balearic Islands.

How to convert PV plants with dual-axis trackers into agrivoltaic facilities

A Spanish group of researchers has investigated how much agricultural production may be hosted by existing ground-mounted PV plants using dual-axis trackers. They outlined a new methodology that reportedly enables to quantify how much space around and beneath the panels can be uses for agricultural purposes.

Ecosistema PVcase: La solución integral para el desarrollo y diseño de plantas fotovoltaicas

En este webinar, Héctor Lucas Forasté, ingeniero preventas en PVcase, presenta un ecosistema donde ofrece diferentes herramientas software para facilitar el paso de cada una de las fases del desarrollo de una planta fotovoltaica, desde la búsqueda y selección del terreno hasta las fases del diseño y el cálculo de producciones sin que se produzca el tan habitual riesgo de pérdida o degradación de datos. Los asistentes podrán conocer más sobre cada una de estas herramientas, Prospect, Ground Mount y Yield, y sus beneficios.

New method to repair ribbon busbar interruptions in PV panels

A Spanish research team has developed a set of techniques to repair ribbon busbar interruptions in PV panels without resorting to expensive electroluminescence images. The scientists warned that the proposed approach should not be used with modules that did not pass some basic safety tests.
