According to new data published by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) in its annual Solar Means Business report, major corporations in the tech and retailing industry made significant investments in clean energy throughout 2019 having installed over 1,280 megawatts (MW) of new commercial solar capacity in the United States.
Solar PV is confirmed to be the cheapest source of electricity and it is on track to set new records for deployment every year after 2022, according to new data released by the International Energy Agency (IEA).
According to the latest figures released by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) in its seventh edition of Renewable Energy and Jobs – Annual Review, jobs in the renewable energy sector reached 11.5 million globally last year, led by solar PV with 3.8 million jobs amounting to a third of the total.
Hybrid systems of floating solar panels and hydropower plants may hold the technical potential to produce a significant portion of the electricity generated annually across the globe, according to an analysis by researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).
Floating solar photovoltaics (FPV) is an emerging, and increasingly viable, application of photovoltaics (PV) in which systems are sited directly on waterbodies.
According to a new research by Oslo-based consultancy Rystad Energy, Latin America is emerging as a green powerhouse, with some of the strongest renewable capacity growth expected globally in the coming years. With auctions already adopted throughout Latin America, Rystad Energy expects the region’s 49 gigawatts (GW) of renewable capacity will skyrocket to 123 GW by 2025, with the biggest increases coming from Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Colombia and Argentina.
Photovoltaics (PV) dominated as the main new power-generating technology source added to grids in dozens of countries ranging from Australia, to India, Italy, Namibia, Uruguay and the U.S. in 2019, according to complete and proprietary data compiled by research company BloombergNEF (BNEF).
Solar PV system costs in the US are falling faster than anticipated across all market segments, primarily driven by module price reduction, according to new research from Wood Mackenzie.
New report shows that the United States can deliver 90 percent clean, carbon free electricity nationwide by 2035, dependably, at no extra cost to consumer bills and without the need for new fossil fuel plants.
The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) has released the Renewable Power Generation Costs in 2019 report, which finds that renewable electricity costs have fallen sharply over the past decade, driven by improving technologies, economies of scale, increasingly competitive supply chains and growing developer experience.
The Germany-based Mechanical Engineering Industry Association (Verband Deutscher Maschinen- und Anlagenbau – VDMA) representing around 3300 German and European companies in the mechanical engineering industry, announced the release of the 11th edition of the International Technology Roadmap for Photovoltaic (ITRPV) report, which summarizes over 100 parameters along the c-Si PV value chain in numerous charts and discusses the results.
Europe’s solar sector association SolarPower Europe announced the release of the report 100% Renewable Europe developed in collaboration with LUT University (LUT) that models a 100% renewables scenario for Europe to reach climate neutrality before 2050.
New report released by New Energy Finance Limited (BNEF) presenting the results of a corporate power purchase agreement pricing survey in Europe find that solar PV shows its lowest price levels in Spain at 35.30 EUR/MWh, but is generally more expensive across the region than wind.
