The World Bank estimated that there is a 400 GW global market capacity for floating photovoltaic (FPV) projects under conservative estimations, which is equivalent to the complete world cumulative solar capacity by 2017. This estimation […]
Africa is blessed with sunlight throughout the year with solar irradiance levels reaching over 2000 kWh/m2 In spite of this fact, 90% of electricity generation in countries including Ethiopia, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, and Zambia is […]
Floating Solar PV is a promising technology which enables us to harness solar power by floating it in water. On the other hand, Hydropower is an established technology to produce electricity. But what would happen […]
Large-scale Floating Solar power plants (FSPP) is a suitable solution for offsetting the underperforming hydropower dams in places where the solar irradiance is good. In the study done by Michigan State University researchers, Brazil now […]
Portugal is the home of the world’s first combination of the hydroelectric and solar power plant in which the solar plant produces enough energy to power the equivalent of 100 homes for an entire year. […]
Thailand is one of the pioneer countries in floating solar power plants. Currently, over 450 MW of floating PV installations have been built, mostly in China, Japan, India, and South Korea. According to RenewableEnergyWorld news, […]
In 2019, Greece was one of the two leading EU countries for solar thermal installations. This method proved to be cost-effective, with a minimum of 60% of hot water share coming from this source. In […]
Over the last decade, the renewable energy installations in Greece has been steadily increasing every year. As shown in Figure 1, this increase is two-fold over the decade. Hydropower and wind energy contributed the biggest […]
China’s development plans have been announced by the central government in the form of a series of five-year plans. According to the 13th five-year plan for economic and social development of the people’s Republic of […]
Sandwiched between India and China, Bhutan is a tiny country with nearly 70% of its mainland covered with woodlands, acting as a natural carbon sink by absorbing carbon-di-oxide. Being carbon-negative means that it absorbs more […]
