The bifacial module is a type of solar module that can capture and harvest sunlight from both sides of a module side. According to the Wood Mackenzie Consultancy, bifacial modules will make up 17.2% of […]
Austria can increase the solar share into its electricity mix by several options; building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), agriculture plus photovoltaic (agrophotovoltaics), road-integrated photovoltaic, floating photovoltaic (FPV), and vehicle integrated photovoltaic (VIPV). It is important to note […]
Sono Motors is planning to embed “interdigitated back contact” (IBC) technology, in order to extend their Solar Car range. According to Sono Motor, thanks to the new technology, 248 solar cells can be seamlessly integrated […]
The global energy demand is rapidly increasing and the necessity of adding more energy generation capacities from renewable energy sources are also increasing (as a new capacity or replacing the old sources). Solar energy is […]
For the first time in the history of Germany, the share of renewable electricity generation into the electricity mix of the country has exceeded from the share of fossil fuels, in 2019. Over the previous […]
Interdigitated Back Contact (IBC) is one of the most complicated ways to produce solar panels. However, due to its effect on increasing the “efficiency” of the modules, it reduces the final product price and therefore, […]
Interested in the history of alternative large scale batteries? Did you know that World’s first Compressed Air Energy Storage (Huntorf’s CAES) plant was built in 1978? It was designed to store extra energy in Elsfleth, […]
Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) system utilizes excess electricity in the grid to compress the ambient air in an underground reservoir, called the underground cavern. The underground cavern must be strong enough to withstand the […]
A study commissioned by BayWa r.e. and done by Fraunhofer ISE, shows that Germany holds 56 GW theoretical potential for floating photovoltaic (FPV) power plants on lignite opencast mines. Dr. Andreas Bett, director of Fraunhofer […]
Bifacial modules have achieved rapid growth in recent years. The global installed capacity of bifacial has been rising from only 97 MW in 2016 to 7000 MW in 2019. Bifacial modules will account for 17.2% […]
