AIEM Green secures NORD/LB financing for 75‑MW, 21-site Italian solar portfolio, powering 45,000 homes by 2026–2028 with blended FER incentives and merchant revenues; Impax-backed, construction underway.

S2P Electric’s 70‑MW Tupan solar clinches CGES grid deal, bringing Trina Solar bifacial power to Niksic and accelerating Montenegro’s renewable push, grid upgrades, and investor confidence across the Balkans.

Zenith Energy snaps up 28-MWp Italian agrivoltaics—farms + solar, biodiversity-friendly, battery-ready. Streamlined builds, diversified grid nodes, and future storage boost value as markets shift.

Genesis breaks ground on 136‑MWp NZ solar farm, bringing midday power to hedge droughts, curb gas peakers, and electrify growth with grid‑ready tech—schedule alignment key to secure supply.

Idemitsu’s 60‑MW Azalea Solar+Storage flips sun to suppertime, powering 20,000 homes under a Sonoma Clean Power PPA, reinforcing CAISO evening peaks with 152‑MWh battery-backed reliability.

Skarta flips a 13‑MWp Finnish solar park to Solarigo, spotlighting Nordic build‑and‑recycle strategy as corporate demand surges and performance ops—not hardware—win returns for both portfolios.

Regulators greenlight 600‑MW solar-plus-storage in Arkansas, pairing cheap daytime power with smart batteries to steady peaks, weather shocks and outages—accelerating procurement and EMS-optimized, grid-stabilizing operations.

Statkraft sparks 206 MW of new Irish solar, boosting its footprint to 560 MW—over 40% of utility-scale capacity—as Ireland races toward 80% renewables and soaring data-center demand.

Global drifting PV installations are readied to jump by 143% from 2019 to hit greater than 900 MW of annual ability enhancements this year, according to IHS Markit's Floating PV Report-- 2020. Development has been driven in recent years by a surge in the variety of drifting PV systems set up in countries such as China, South Korea, Japan, and also the Netherlands, with overall worldwide installed ability getting to about 1.5 GW at the end of 2019. IHS Markit Study Manager Cormac Gilligan as well as Senior Citizen Expert Chris Beadle take a look at exactly how these countries have taken the lead, with developers building huge quantities of drifting PV, while also installing pilots to much better understand the modern technology as well as test its abilities and also cost-effectiveness.

Australia has certainly shown its cravings for solar energy. Now, with the average lifespan of a solar panel being around 20 years, lots of installations from the early 2000's are readied to get to end-of-life. Will they wind up in landfill or be reused? The price of recycling is greater than landfill, as well as the worth of recovered materials is smaller sized than the original, so there's minimal interest in recycling. However offered the existence of heavy metals, such as lead as well as tin, if waste is managed improperly, we're on track for one more recycling situation. A prospective time bomb could emerge as a possibility, nonetheless, if the international EV market revealed a passion in the recuperated solar products.

When producing silicon solar cells, it is essential to have a high throughput. This lowers production prices as well as relieves supply traffic jams as more photovoltaics installments are being released in Germany and also worldwide.

New heat-harnessing "solar" cells that show 99% of the power they can not transform to electrical energy might aid bring down the rate of saving renewable energy as warmth, as well as harvesting waste warmth from exhaust pipes as well as chimneys.

Research has found even short-lived, 10 to 15-year solar panels could provide enough return for bankable projects. The researchers believe panel costs, coupled with an industry mindset now fixed on the final solar energy price rather than costs per kilowatt installed, may open opportunities for PV products currently snubbed because of a short lifecycle.

In a bid to reduce its carbon footprint the oil giant is ramping up its renewable energy production at a refinery in the Philippines. The news was announced by the company in a week which saw it named seventh worst corporate contributor to the climate crisis since awareness of emissions-related damage first emerged.

Bifacial module yields, manufacturer bankability probing and quality benchmarking strategies have all taken centre stage at this year’s edition of PV ModuleTech in Malaysia.
