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 […]
Cochin International Airport located in Kerela, India is the first fully solar-powered airport in the world which is powered by a 40 MW photovoltaic power station. Cochin Airport has now taken a new step towards […]
The Indian government aims at building the world’s largest floating photovoltaic (FPV) project in the Khandwa district. On completion of the project by 2022-2023, It would be named the largest FPV project in the world […]
Offshore floating solar panels are slowly reaching the ground-mounted panels in LCOE and in the north sea alone by 2050 it will house around 10 GW of offshore floating pv. According to Norwegian consultancy group […]
Norwegian floating PV specialist Ocean Sun and South Korean tech company EN Technologies have closed a deal on the pilot projects of a 2.1 GW floating solar complex. This project is going to be built […]
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 […]
Floating Solar, a Netherland-based Solar PV company, is not the only company who its floating photovoltaic system passed the storm conditions test. Ocean Sea’s 17 kW FPV system, which was the first offshore floating solar […]
Fitch Solutions estimated that 10GW of new floating photovoltaic (FPV) capacity will be added by 2025. We have already reported that until the end of August 2020, cumulative FPV capacity reached 2.6 GW. Thus, after […]
In this article, we aim at comparing floating photovoltaic (FPV) with ground-mounted solar photovoltaic. The comparison is based-on parameters such as land-use efficiency (LUE), energy yield, water evaporation, and local utilization of energy for these […]
Floating photovoltaic (FPV) was considered a nascent market two years ago. Cumulative FPV capacity had reached 1.3 GW (1300 MW) at that time. However, FPV firstly appeared as an option to extend solar power across […]
