Floating Photovoltaics (FPV) is a fast-emerging niche application of solar energy. On the face of it, these systems might seem simple to install as all one needs to do is place panels on water and […]
Solar cell technology is a fast evolving technology with new advancements and improvements seen almost every day. Solar panels are the most important part of a solar energy system, which need to improve, evolve and […]
Ocean Sun, a Norwegian specialist in FPV projects, has inked a joint venture to exploit the untapped floating photovoltaic (FPV) potential of two southernmost countries in the EU. “Thanks to good solar irradiation and water […]
In the first part of this bipartite article, we touched upon the effects and post-pandemic management by countries in the renewable energy sector. We also gave a holistic perspective about the changes in the renewable […]
The falling cost of electricity generation from solar has made PV panels accessible to more people than ever before and has resulted in an exponential increase in solar adoption. With more than 750 gigawatts of […]
Overview There are two types of solar thermal systems passive systems and active systems. The passive system refers to when the sun shines through the windows and warms up the environment. Some buildings in different […]
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 […]
Ocean Sun, a Norwegian innovative FPV (Floating Photo-Voltaic) Tech organisation, and Fred Olsen Renewables have been awarded EC-funds, for a 0.25 MWp Floating PV project in “open seas”, off the coast of Gran Canaria. The […]
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 […]
