Solar panels and harnessing the power of solar energy is one of the fastest advancements we have done to get on the path towards sustainability & using renewable resources. But the only drawback in using this ever-present energy source is that we must consider the decline of the materials used to generate this energy. Read more to learn about some significant causes of the degradation of solar...
Energy storage systems capture surplus energy during times of high production/low demand and store it for use during times of low production/high demand. While not a new technology, energy storage is rapidly gaining traction as a way to provide a stable and consistent supply of renewable energy to the grid. The energy storage system of most interest to solar PV producers is the battery energy stor...
Last year, 137GW of renewable energy capacity was acquired globally through government tenders, up 10% year-on-year, despite industry headwinds, logistics tensions and an energy crisis. Solar photovoltaic power is the renewable energy source with the most winning bids through government tenders, reaching 61GW, accounting for 44% of the total. Solar’s share of global government tenders has de...
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...
