Extending the ‘as-a-service’ concept to energy can help integrate renewable energy resources into electricity portfolios – where previously it may have proven difficult. Additionally, by utilizing a rental energy system, businesses can reduce their peak demand, save costs and protect the grid from isolated peak demand events. A growing number of companies across a wide […]

Against a backdrop of falling PPA prices, and longer returns on investment, the debate over reducing operation and maintenance (O&M) expenditure versus optimizing PV plant performance, is increasingly being steered towards cost. While expenses like labor and tools are not getting any cheaper, digital technologies – helping to make PV plants more intelligent, efficient and […]

Quality 3.0: Three PV industry leaders join forces to take quality assurance to the next level. Having worked with all three on quality issues in the past, pv magazine now brings together JinkoSolar, DuPont and Stäubli to discuss quality assurances that goes well beyond simple “marketing speak”. It’s not a new story: Cost pressures are […]

The costs of installing electrical components in large-scale PV systems can be dramatically reduced with one simple concept, according to webinar partner, ABB Solar: Using higher power string inverters, with a modular design and integrated string combiners, that have positive effects both on CAPEX and OPEX. In addition to implementing this concept, the company has […]

According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), global installed solar power currently stands at 390 GW. Of that figure, 385 GW is solar PV, while the remaining 5 GW comprises concentrated solar power (CSP). While installed solar PV capacity vastly outpaces CSP, it must be noted that the majority of the 5 GW of […]

Panel prices are rising as project costs are tumbling – but is the drive for lower tariffs doing more harm than good?

TÜV Rheinland PTL (TÜV), an independent analyst, recently released a report on the economic and risk analysis of two solar tracker architectures. The first architecture in the study is a centralized system driven by a single motor, linked by a rotating driveline to multiple tracker rows. The second architecture is a decentralized system where each […]
