One of the interesting notes in the recently published US Solar Market Insight report is that the average global solar module price in the 3rd quarter of 2023 was down 30–40% from the average global solar module price in the 1st quarter of 2023. This is primarily due to supply–demand … [continued]
The RustMo1 Solar Project, the first renewable energy project developed under South Africa’s large renewables tender program — the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producers Procurement Programme (REI4P) — is celebrating 10 years of clean energy production. The 7 megawatt (MW) project has been generating around 12.5 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity … [continued]
Plans are already in the works to expand a new floating solar power plant in Indonesia, setting the stage for similar projects around the world.
It appears that electrifying everything with renewable energy isn’t as simple as it sounds. As Australia moves towards a 100% renewable grid (it was 70% across the eastern states at midday yesterday as I write this), there have been many hiccups along the way. I have read and written about … [continued]
A high tech supercritical carbon dioxide power plant is taking shape behind the walls of a modest building in Texas, with the potential to lower the cost of concentrating solar power systems.
The success of the Benban Solar Farm near Aswan, Egypt, demonstrates the impact that large scale clean energy projects can have on the energy matrix of North African countries. The largest solar park in Africa and the 4th largest solar farm globally, the park has an installed capacity of 1.8 … [continued]
And a second study indicates that having utility scale solar projects in neighborhoods doesn’t negatively affect real estate value.
In a continent bathed in sunshine and rich in natural resources, it is good to see that solar-powered mini grids and desalination are making steady progress. And we need this progress as we head into “the new abnormal” that was predicted by Michael Mann two decades ago. We echo his … [continued]
A new floating solar array in Utah will cut water treatment costs and help conserve water, too.
Agrivoltaics supporters and emerging farmers join forces with member-owned rural electric cooperatives to push for dual use farmland.
