A harmadik negyedévben ugyan visszaestek az újonnan telepített naperőművi kapacitások az Egyesült Államokban, miután az importált fotovoltaikus panelekre kivetett vámok visszafogják a fejlesztéseket, az ágazat gyengélkedését azonban a következő öt évben várhatóan megvalósuló nagyobb projektek ellensúlyozni fogják, mivel a napenergia ma olcsóbb, mint valaha - áll a Wood Mackenzie által a SEIA iparági szövetség részére készített jelentésben.
Az idei évben újabb rekordot ér el a megújulóenergia-termelés Németországban; a tavalyinál körülbelül 2,5 százalékkal termelnek több villamos energiát nap-, szél-, vízenergia, valamint biomassza alapon.
If we want to stop climate change, we’ll have to stop pumping out carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. In order to do that, we’ll need to replace all the sources of carbon pollution—like fossil fuel plants and combustion vehicles—with clean, renewable alternatives. But there’s a problem: According to a new study, we might not have enough materials to make that happen.
The growth was largely driven by technological progress, cost reductions and the development of novel business models such as on-site direct wire mini power purchase agreements (PPAs). According to the report, “European Solar Power Market, Forecast to 2025,”this business model is particularly popular among large-scale solar project developers to overcome regulatory barriers, while fully-automated energy management across all sectors and segments on a local level and peer-to-peer models will facilitate new methods of financing.
The company's 2 kW Kodiak Extreme uses Transphorm's gallium nitride semiconductors to increase power, reduce weight and eliminate the need for a cooling fan.
An analysis of a First Solar power plant in Tampa, Florida suggests that by operating solar plants with more flexibility operators can save money for ratepayers – while also allowing for significantly higher penetration levels of renewables.
A decade ago, Maine regulators faced dueling proposals to meet projected load growth north of Portland: upgrade a long-distance transmission line to carry more power, or strategically install batteries and distributed generation.
After waiting for years, Homeboy Industries, a nonprofit that provides training and support to formerly gang-involved and previously incarcerated men and women, goes solar.
