JSW Energy targets to become a 20 GW power generation company along with 40 GWh/5 GW of energy storage by 2030. It is also investing in solar manufacturing and green hydrogen production.

In a bid to avoid costly grid augmentation, Spanish electric vehicle (EV) charger supplier Wallbox has designed a multi-layered energy intelligence solution – proving that necessity is the mother of invention.

The Noida-based commercial and industrial solar developer will use the proceeds for working capital, ‘Resco mode’ project capex, and technology upgradation requirements.

The adoption of building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) has been hindered by the complexity of fire safety standards, creating challenges for manufacturers and suppliers. However, efforts such as the IEA PVPS Task 15 report and collaborative research have shed light on the importance of comprehensive guidelines, reliable testing laboratories, and international cooperation.

Saatvik Green Energy will build the 12 MW rooftop solar project for a steel conglomerate in Orissa. It will use 545 Wp mono PERC panels for the plant spanning 25,522 sq.m.   

India will install around 20-25 GW of new renewable energy capacity annually over the next two fiscals, driven by a healthy project pipeline and a strong bidding roadmap. The decline in solar module prices and one-year relaxation for the approved list of module manufacturers (ALMM) bode well for the capacity addition.

Qatari researchers have looked at the degree to which cleaning robots reduce PV plants’ yield with the shade they produce on the panels. They found that module orientation has an enormous effect on the impact of shadow.

NTPC Renewable Energy Ltd has invited bids to install and commission two solar projects of 100 MW each at GSECL Solar Park in Khavda. The supply of PV modules also falls under the bidder’s scope. 

Timely scale-up in tendering activity and moderation in solar PV cell and module prices, if sustained, would support improvement in capacity addition in the renewable energy sector.

Emirates Water and Electricity Co. (EWEC ) has announced the bidders for a tender to develop the 1.5 GW Al-Ajban solar project.
