Introduction: Floating photovoltaic is quite a niche market compared to mainstream or ground-mounted PV module installation. While it is considered as the third wave of expanding the solar energy market. This segment of the solar […]
2021 was an interesting year for solar energy as it was a comeback year after a full 2020 COVID-19 lockdown. The Solar energy trends in 2021 can be categorized into three main categories: New Technologies […]
Floating Photovoltaics (FPV) or floating PV is a photovoltaic (PV) based energy generation approach on the water surface [1]. The floating PV market is a relative niche market as compared to its main and well-established […]
Introduction to Laos Laos or officially the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Lao DPR, is a country which is located in southeast Asia [1]. The country relies on renewable energy, especially hydropower so extremely that they […]
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 place panels on water and somehow […]
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 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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
