Prime minister Narendra Modi announced this week the government will launch Pradhanmantri Suryodaya Yojana with the target of installing rooftop solar on one crore (10 million) houses.
Sometimes, progress involves looking backwards. In this case, a return to back contact solar cell architecture has resulted in improved efficiencies and reductions in cost.
A new 875 MW solar project in California features nearly 2 million solar panels and offers more than 3 GWh of energy storage.
While keeping rooftop solar panels clean and regularly maintained can deter most unwelcome visitors, householders may sometimes have to take more concrete measures to avoid wildlife taking up residence.
Researchers from the SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Ghaziabad, have studied the performance of monocrystalline silicon (mono-Si) and polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) technologies in the tropical wet region of eastern India. The results showed that the yield outcome with mono-Si PV was around 12% higher and the losses around 32% lower than poly-Si PV.
NTPC Renewable Energy Ltd (NTPC REL) has invited bids to supply bi-facial PV modules rated 540 Wp each for the 1,515 MW DC solar project in Gujarat. Bidding closes on March 5.
French sodium-ion battery maker Tiamat has raised €30 million ($32.6 million) in equity and debt financing. It will use the funds to launch the construction of a 5 GWh production plant in the Hauts-de-France region.
In a new weekly update for pv magazine, OPIS, a Dow Jones company, provides a quick look at the main price trends in the global PV industry.
Researches in India have used the adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and the grey wolf optimization (GWO) algorithm to develop an MPPT technique that reportedly increases the PV source voltage of an array under partial shading conditions.
Solar Energy Corp of India (SECI) has invited bids to set up 1.5 GW of solar PV power projects on a build-own-operate basis. The projects can be located anywhere in India and must connect to the interstate transmission system. Bidding closes on Feb. 23.
