Solar energy installment gets on the surge yet much more efficient photovoltaic panels could see uptake of the technology thrive further. We take a look at the material advances in growth.

MePCDL has actually provided a tender for the setup of aggregated 50 MWp off-grid Solar Power Plants in various areas in the state of Meghalaya.

European Energy A/S has won approval to construct a 90-MW solar farm in Italy’s Puglia Region. The project, led by Thorvald Spanggaard, will generate enough energy to power 55,500 households. The solar park will use tracker panels on 35 hectares of land and involve reforestation and infrastructure upgrades. European Energy's ambitious goal to develop renewable energy in all of Italy moves closer to reality.

China's Tara Beach, located 60 kilometres southeast of Qinghai Lake, in the island province of Hainan, is bathed with a blue sea of photovoltaic panels.

Plans for what is being billed as “Europe’s largest solar plant” have been put forward in Spain as the UN climate negotiations came to a close in Madrid.

Enel Green Power Espana, the renewables unit of Spanish electric utility Endesa SA (BME: ELE), has actually inaugurated a pair of solar farms with a combined capacity of 99.68 MW in the region of Castile-La Mancha, central Spain.

The company has actually been issued a Letter of Intent (LoI) by the Uttar Pradesh New as well as Renewable Energy Development Agency (UPNEDA). SJVN will certainly construct 75 MW grid attached solar energy project at Gurhah, in Jalaun District, as well as 50 MW grid-connected solar power project at Gujrai, in Kanpur Dehat District, in UP.

Railway operators can now feasibly connect solar plants to traction substations, claims a consortium that is now working on a similar demonstration project in the U.K. Almost all of the 30 kW installation’s output will be used to move trains, but in the future storage could come into the picture for larger “railway-connected” solar power projects, says 10:10, the U.K.-based climate change charity that developed the pilot.

The Bhutanese government has actually determined 7 sites where the solar farms will be established at a price of $300 million. Bhutan presently has a mere 9 MW of renewable energy apart from hydropower.

China will build the huge solar park at its own cost for its energy-hungry neighbor in exchange for access to rare earths. The project was announced by the Association of China Rare Earth Industry.
