SolarPower Europe has anticipated the volume of new PV capability added this year will certainly be 4% less than last year's number due to the Covid-19 crisis. At the end of 2019, the globe had actually covered 630 GW of solar. For 2020, around 112 GW of brand-new PV capability is expected, and also in 2021, newly mounted capability could be 149.9 GW if federal governments sustain renewables in their coronavirus economic recuperation plans.

The levelized price of energy created by large scale solar plants is around $0.068/ kWh, contrasted to $0.378 ten years back and the cost fell 13.1% between 2018 as well as in 2015 alone, according to numbers released by the International Renewable Energy Agency.

The International Energy Agency has acknowledged remarkable falls in power financial investment brought on by the Covid-19 situation but stated renewables, consisting of PV, provided an attractive suggestion to investors as the dust worked out, provided their enticing business economics and brief turnaround times.

Dubai Electricity and also Water Authority has actually released brand-new guidelines obstructing ground-mounted industrial as well as commercial solar projects and also topping roof installments at 2 MW.

Experts at Bloomberg New Energy Finance claim the lowest-cost projects funded in Australia, China, Chile as well as the UAE in the last 6 months struck a levelized price of power of simply $23-29/ MWh and also the most effective solar and also wind projects will certainly create power for less than $20/MWh by 2030.

Scientists in the United Arab Emirates have actually recommended a PV-powered watering system that operates on a blurry logic-based formula, with a remote-control cordless tracking system user interface.

Dubai-based PV developer Enerwhere has actually developed a brand-new service version for solar projects at building and construction websites. Its strategy, which is based upon short-duration PPAs, includes relocating mobile PV setups from one structure website to one more.

The 50 MW Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed photovoltaic power plant is located in the Blitta region. The plant is being developed by Amea Togo Solar - a subsidiary of Amea Power, a worldwide renewables developer based in the United Arab Emirates.

The Abu Dhabi-based clean energy group has entered into a formal agreement with an investment fund to develop 400 MW of PV capacity in Armenia, with a projected investment of up to $320 million.

The solar field will become operational in Q2 of 2021. This is the project for deployment of phase five of the huge 5-gigawatt Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum solar farm.

The latest study published by the International Renewable Energy Agency says the average solar electricity cost of $0.085/kWh produced by projects commissioned last year is set to fall to $0.048 next year, and $0.02-0.08 by 2030.
