The Global Solar Council (GSC) and Global Wind Organisation (GWO) will collaborate to develop a set of standards for the world’s solar PV technicians, as they look to standardise qualifications for workers in the sector. The GSC noted that its Solar Training Standards Initiative would look to formalise training practices and qualifications for solar technicians, and deliver “reduced tr...
The rapidly growing photovoltaic power generation is facing increasingly serious cybersecurity threats. Recently, Japanese media reported the first cyber attack on a photovoltaic power plant. First publicly confirmed attack on photovoltaic grid Japanese media Sankei Shimbun recently reported that hackers hijacked 800 remote monitoring devices (SolarView Compact produced by industrial contro...
In recent years, with the acceleration of urbanization, the increase in domestic water consumption and the booming industry, the amount of sewage generated has also gradually increased. Data shows that China's sewage discharge in 2022 will be about 62.58 billion cubic meters, a year-on-year increase of 6.13%, and the number of existing sewage treatment plants in cities and counties is about 4,706....
A photovoltaic system equipped with storage is and increasingly affordable investment, above all necessary to play an active role in the energy community revolution. Installing a PV system means a lot in terms of environmental sustainability and protection, since it uses renewable energy to produce electricity. When approaching the world of sustainable energy, a question arises: which kind of syst...
Saudi Power Procurement Company (SPPC) has signed power purchase agreements (PPAs) with three companies for solar projects with a total installed capacity of 5.5 GW. SPPC signed the PPAs with ACWA Power, Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund subsidiary Water and Power Holding Company, and Saudi Aramco. The projects include the Haden Solar PV Plant (2GW) and Al-Muwaih Solar PV Plant (2GW) in Makkah...
National industry body Energy Networks Australia (ENA) has called on the Australian government to implement the appropriate incentives to unlock at least 5GW of additional rooftop solar PV generation capacity. Detailed within the organisation’s The Time is Now report, released with market consultant L.E.K. Consulting, creating the correct regulatory settings for the market could also help un...
