Appalachian Power released a request for proposals (RFPs) for up to 300 MW of solar and/or wind generation resources. The request for proposals is the initial in a collection of RFPs Appalachian Power will release this year to follow provisions of the Virginia Clean Economy Act (VCEA).

A recent study shows that PV costs have declined faster than any other energy technology over the past two decades. The researcher behind the study said this would not have been possible without the “butterfly effect,” which is based on the idea that a small change in one part of a complex system can have a large impact elsewhere. The researcher also attributed the the rapidly declining cost of PV to Chinese manufacturing and strong US investor support.

The speed of environment action in the US is "completely undesirable", according to the director of the United States Department of Energy's (DOE) Loan Programme Office, Jigar Shah.

Himalaya G12-132 modules are asserted to be at the very least 6%to 8% greater than other kinds of large-size modules. The HJT module was just recently licensed by testing organization TÜV SÜD.

New analysis predicts more than 150 GW of tracker capacity will be installed in the next five years – around a third of all ground mount projects up to 2024. Rapid growth in Europe, the Middle East and Africa; and the better cost structures possible from combining trackers and bifacial modules are singled out as key trends.

JinkoSolar's following objective is to reach 60 percent by the end of 2023. In June, JinkoSolar introduced that its Malaysia manufacturing facility had actually become its initial overseas "RE100 factory" completely powered by renewables.

Lightsource BP has actually shut a US$ 380 million funding bundle for 2 Texan solar projects with an integrated capability of 316MW.

Germany's RWE is on track to increase its solar as well as wind portfolio to 10GW by the end of 2020 as the company increases its renewable energy development following project appointing hold-ups due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Invesco Solar ETF TAN topped the list of the best-performing ETFs so far this year with impressive returns of about 54%.

Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) has actually lowered its United States solar installment forecasts by 24GW over the following two years adhering to the United States government's decision to explore the circumvention of duties in Southeast Asia, asserting 100,000 solar jobs will be shed because of this.

AMOLF researchers Erik Garnett, Susan Rigter, and also colleagues are the initial to have irrefutably shown that amorphous perovskite exists. The material can dramatically increase the efficiency of solar cells produced from perovskite. The research study is published today in the journal Advanced Functional Products.

Last year, a San Francisco-based start-up asserted a world document for performance of a model natural solar cell with a 9.8 percent power conversion performance and also now they want to scale up their modern technology to a mass production level.

Most CleanTechnica readers are renewable energy advocates. Wind, solar, recovering energy from the water we boil to make our breakfast tea — anything and everything that makes zero emissions electricity without burning fossil fuels is welcome. But there is a dark side to the transition to renewables. Lots of people make their living working in the fossil fuel industry. If the renewable energy revolution is to be successful, those people must be able to transition to clean energy jobs

The European Union's (EU) solar PV market has actually navigated a year besieged by supply chain disruptions and module prices hikes to post record levels of yearly deployment, according to research from SolarPower Europe (SPE).

A vision of a decentralized, renewable-powered electricity grid is being brought a step closer by scientists at the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Their project, Autonomous Energy Grids, aims to take an overarching look at the solutions that will power this grid of the future, and to fill any gaps that appear between them.
