At the recent Solar Power international convention in Anaheim, California, roofing manufacturer CertainTeed added to this list when it featured some of its next generation PV roofing systems, including its … [continued]
Danish industry site Energy Watch has reported on an application submitted by Denmark’s Bregentved Estates to local municipal authorities for a 100 MW capacity solar park to be located in Faxe municipality, Sjælland, eastern Denmark. To be clear, 100 MW is a significant capacity for a solar park — indeed it would … [continued]
Earlier this month, I attended Solar Power International (SPI) 2015 for CleanTechnica, and I’m now bringing the big themes here for your reading pleasure. For PV Solar geeks like me, new glass laminated modules add a bit of aesthetic appeal to the space while new module-integrated electronics that Trina Solar and Tigo Energy were … [continued]
