Indian researchers have compared the performance of an agrivoltaic system to monofacial and bifacial rooftop PV systems, and have found that the agrivoltaics setup had a shorter payback time and lower levelized cost of energy. Their analysis of performance considered panel temperature, power output, land equivalent ratio, and reliability.

Multiple factors affect the productive lifespan of a residential solar inverter. In Part 2 of our series, we look at solar inverters.

The solar and waste-to-energy company intends to use the proceeds to refinance its existing debt and fund capex of future renewable projects.

Global tracker shipments reached 92 GWdc last year, according to WoodMackenzies’ latest report. The US accounted for the majority of the global market, with three US-based manufacturers, Nextracker, Array Technologies and GameChange Solar, ranking as the three largest shippers in the world.

In a new monthly column for pv magazine, the International Solar Energy Society (ISES) explains why potential trade disruptions in the global PV supply chain are substantially different from those related to coal, oil and gas.

The third edition of the Sinovoltaics financial stability report ranking lists India-based Abhishek Corp, Insolartion Energy, Waaree Renewable Technologies, and Solex Energy, all based in India, followed by U.S.-based First Solar as the top five. Six additional manufacturers entered the global ranking.

Multiple factors affect the productive lifespan of a residential solar panel. In the first part of this series, we look at the solar panels themselves.

The global LNG market is on the cusp of a transformative era. While an oversupply looms, the market’s trajectory remains subject to the vagaries of project completions and geopolitical tensions. The interplay of supply and demand dynamics will invariably shape the landscape, heralding an era of heightened volatility and strategic recalibrations.

Hydrogen electrolysers are emerging as key players in grid balancing and energy storage strategies worldwide. By converting excess renewable electricity into hydrogen during periods of low demand, electrolysers offer a scalable solution to store energy for later use.

The new venture is expected to bring 2 GW of solar module manufacturing capacity to the US market within 18 to 24 months.
