Photovoltaic agricultural greenhouse is a new type of solar system project that combines photovoltaic power generation with agricultural production, roof solar power generation, and agricultural production in the greenhouse. It is a new mode of modern agricultural development and a current investment hotspot. 1.The advantages of solar panel agricultural greenhouses Compared with the construction o...
EDF Renewables North America has signed a 15-year 332MWdc Virtual Power Purchase Agreement (VPPA) with McDonald's USA. The power will come from the Apollo solar project in Texas, which is expected to come online in June 2024. After completion, the project can produce 619,000MWh of clean energy per year. In addition, the VPPA with EDF Renewables will bring McDonald's closer to its 2030 emissions re...
With the rise of industrial and commercial electricity prices, the gradual process of industrial and commercial rooftop distributed solar panel power plants has become an important direction for future photovoltaic development. On the one hand, it helps enterprises reduce operating costs and improve efficiency, and on the other hand, it can contribute to the development of clean energy in the coun...
Virtually no solar power system is complete without an inverter. People even compare the importance and functionality of a solar inverter with that of a heart. It, therefore, becomes mandatory to take a look at the evolution of such a crucial component - which brings us to the comparison of traditional, string inverters with the more advanced Micro Inverter! What Are Microinverters? “Micro&r...
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...
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...
As more and more people turn to clean energy, you may have heard that solar energy can benefit the environment in many ways. One of the most common benefits of solar energy is that it reduces carbon emissions and our reliance on non-renewable resources like fossil fuels. But in what ways does solar affect the economy and the environment? The Economics of Solar Energy Solar power lowers your utilit...
Here’s a guide of the key do’s and don’ts of cleaning your solar panels. While it’s a good idea to occasionally clean the panels, if done improperly you risk damaging your panels or even voiding your warranty. It’s worth noting first, your panels have an anti-cling film which means they will be largely self cleaning in an area with regular rainfall. But if your roof i...
Let's just say that the high temperature has driven people crazy. Some people even thought of buying solar energy to power their air conditioners. Under this kind of weather, the UK's solar power generation reached 66.9 GWh in one day in July, which can meet 8.6% of the country's demand. Germany is said to have reached a new single-day high of solar power generation. Could it be said that extreme ...
