EDP is to acquire Polish distributed solar company Soon Energy, enabling its presence in Poland to grow fivefold, the company has claimed, as it targets distributed generation as a key growth area in the country. Soon Energy has over 25MWp installed in solar system projects across Poland, of which 10MWp was installed in 2021, accruing revenues of €6 million (US$6.6 million). The acquisition w...
Solar energy is one of the most promising forms of renewable energy available today. It is clean, efficient, and has the potential to meet a large percentage of our energy needs. Despite all of its benefits, solar energy still faces some challenges regarding public perception. In particular, some people find it difficult to believe that solar power can be a viable source of energy for the future. ...
We understand solar energy to be an important alternative energy source to our daily living - but what are the ways we can utilise this on the everyday? Solar energy remains one of the most sought after alternative energy sources today, especially in the face of climate change and rising global temperatures. Many governments are making specific moves to phase out of using fossil fuel energy,...
Solar is the lowest-cost source of electricity and battery-based energy storage is the least expensive flexible peaking capacity resource across much of the world today. Embracing a 100% clean energy future is not only imperative, but also the most economic path forward. The remarkable growth of Solar + Storage deployments is the result of two colliding trends: the falling cost of energy storage a...
Efficient solar energy storage is a fundamental pillar of the energy transition: allowing flexible renewable energy production and guaranteeing its integration into the grid. Electricity can be easily generated, transported and transformed. However, up until now it has not been possible to store it in a practical, easy and cost-effective way. This means that electricity needs to be generated conti...
This is by far one of the most frequently asked questions by would-be owners of solar energy systems. It’s only natural for UK residents to wonder whether solar panels produce energy in the winter. How long will solar panels continue to generate energy when the temperatures drop and the skies darken? In a place like the United Kingdom, where the winter is only three months long but might fee...
On February 16, 2023, the seminar on the development review and prospect of the photovoltaic industry in 2022 sponsored by the China Photovoltaic Industry Association was successfully held. Shu Yunhua, Director of Tracking Stent Strategy Department of Trina Solar Co., Ltd., delivered a report on "2022 Tracking Stent Industry Review&Outlook". From 2021 to 2022, the p...
What Are Solar Batteries Without somewhere to send energy produced by your solar panels, solar would be fairly inefficient—your appliances would only work when the sun is shining and your panels are working. If you don’t use the energy, it’d be wasted—and you wouldn’t be able to use it at night. Enter solar batteries, which store energy generated by your panels for us...
What is solar panel battery storage? This relatively new technology may be worth considering if you generate your own energy at home with solar panels but want to use it outside daylight hours – or plan to start doing so. It may also be worth considering if you have a time-of-use energy tariff that means you could charge a battery cheaply at off-peak times. Is solar battery storage right for...
