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.

Europe's fleet of solar arrays created 68TWh of power in the very first six months of 2020, a 15% increase on last year's figure as brand-new, bigger solar ranches came to the fore.

The governments of the two African nations are considering deploying huge volumes of generation capacity over two decades. The project, still in its initial phase, is being supported by the World Economic Forum’s Global Future Council on Energy.

Trina Solar, the module manufacturer leading the shift to the biggest solar wafer size (210-mm/8-in.), has actually launched a checklist of inverter and radar companies with items suitable with the large-form modules.

Swedish manufacturer of thin film CIGS solar cells, Midsummer has actually announced the signing of letters of intent (LOI) with 6 Swedish and foreign company partners for an overall of 107 MW of photovoltaic panels. With the release of 224 MW of solar cells today and also previously revealed agreements with roofing system product and also structure organizations in Italy, there are now 13 offtake agreements in position, amounting to greater than 400 MW of photovoltaic panels.

Indian builder PNC Infratech wins 300 MW solar and 150 MW/600 MWh storage at INR 3.13 kWh in NHPC’s latest reverse auction, sealing a 25-year PPA.

Amsterdam-based Photon Energy NV has actually acquired a minority risk in Australia's RayGen Resources Pty Ltd with which it will certainly establish a 100-MWp/1,000-MWh solar-plus-storage project.

A French firm has actually established a thin-film solar cell that uses semi conductor compounds based upon organic polymers published on flexible films. The functional outcome of this is that it can be installed on curved surfaces, something traditional photovoltaic panels can not do.

Trina Solar, the world-leading PV as well as wise energy overall options supplier, has actually obtained IEC certification for its dual-row one in portrait (1P) tracker, Agile 1P, from the Certification Entity for Renewable Energies (CERE), a leading independent testing, simulation, certification and inspection organization in Europe.

Australian authorities have rallied behind what is arguably the largest solar-plus-storage project to be conceived in the world’s history.

EDF Power Solutions and Korea Western Power will finance, build and own up to 40 % of Abu Dhabi’s 1.5-GW Al Zarraf solar PV IPP, the emirate’s fifth world-scale project under EWEC.
