pv magazine is pleased to bring you an exclusive interview with the Acting Assistant Secretary in the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) Daniel Simmons, who was appointed by President Trump five months ago.

The pilot floating PV system is being installed at De Slufter, the depot for contaminated dredging spoil on the western edge of Rotterdam’s port area.

The two production facilities will be located in the northern province of Mendoza and will provide the modules for PV projects developed under the Renovar program.

The two projects have a capacity of 30 MW each and are located in the state of Piauí, in Brazil’s Northeast Region.

The solar developer completed financing and tax equity for the 26 MW Redwood 4 Solar Farm, the next phase of a group of solar farms near Bakersfield, California.

The deal with the asset management firm is one of the largest supply agreements for heterojunction modules reported to date, and the Section 201 case may play a role.

The new law is expected to improve the current regulation and to ensure the legal certainty of future investments in solar distributed generation.

The country’s cumulative installed PV capacity has now surpassed 1.5 GW, while another 500 MW is expected to be installed by the end of 2017.

The United States saw another strong quarter of solar market growth during Q2. However, the residential market declined year-over year, and the Section 201 trade case does not bode well for the future.

The plant is part of a 165 MW PV project pipeline that the company is developing in Russia’s Astrakhan region.
