Solar supporting peacekeeping in DR Congo
A report by the Powering Peace organization states UN missions in the Democratic Republic of Congo could reduce expense and pollution by using off-grid solar to power operations instead of diesel generators. Adding a 200 kW solar system with 200 kW/450 kWh of energy storage would reduce diesel consumption 80% for 10-year savings of almost $2.6 million, states the group.

Australian rooftop PV might face grid restraints
The capability to feed electrical energy from roof PV selections into Australia's circulation network may be seriously restricted in the future, as installments appear most likely to surpass assumptions. A Cornwall Insight projection sees some 24.45 GW of rooftop solar to be included with 2030-- a rate that increases the demand for a distribution-level market and may see connections cut in the future.
