Finnish energy company Fortum has successfully commissioned its largest solar power project in India. News of the project being commissioned was reported widely by German EPC contractor Belectric.
Originally published on RenewEconomy A project testing a combination of solar PV, combined heat and power systems and battery storage at a commercial facility in Germany could be adapted and scaled up elsewhere, according to General Electric, one of the project’s partners. The project – launched last week – is … [continued]
Belectric’s 2,000 kWh (kilowatt-hour) containerized battery storage system (the Energy Buffer Unit) at the Alt Daber solar project in Brandenburg, Germany, has been green-lighted to begin operating in the country’s grid-balancing frequency response market, according to recent reports. For a bit of background here, the 2,000 kWh battery storage system … [continued]
Originally published on Sustainnovate. The biggest solar farm in the UK, a 46 MW solar farm called Landmead, is now connected to the UK’s National Grid in East Hanney. The project can power 14,000 average British homes. The site was previously used for grazing sheep… and it will continue to … [continued]
A new large-scale battery energy storage system was recently unveiled at the Alt Daber solar power plant in Germany by the companies Belectric and Vattenfall, via a ribbon-cutting ceremony. This new energy storage facility — the first large-scale battery storage system to be installed at a large PV farm in … [continued]
Originally published on Solar Love. US-based First Solar has led the utility-scale solar league for awhile now, but the latest statistics for utility-scale solar construction (EPC contracts) put it way out in the lead. As you can see in the Wiki-Solar table below, First Solar now has built 1,147 MW of solar … [continued]
In a new interview with Deutsche Welle, the CEO of a Germany-based global solar developer made a good case for the potential for solar power to become cheaper than coal sooner rather than later. That would be Bernhard Beck, CEO of BELECTRIC. In the interview Beck had some interesting things … [continued]
2012 has been a record-breaking year for utility-sized solar power installations. Utility-scaled solar installations this year reached 8.5 gigawatts (GW), according to a recent PV-Tech article. The preliminary data from Wiki-Solar noted that newly installed power plants exceeding 10 megawatts (MW) in size have so far reached a total installed … [continued]
Belectric, a world market leader in photovoltaic system integration, has integrated the world’s first 1500-volt operation into the grid. The open-space solar power plant is the first to utilize the full power bandwidth defined by the European Union’s Low Voltage Directive, and could result in […]
German-based solar manufacturing company BELECTRIC has become the first company in the world to install more than 1 gigawatt (GW) of photovoltaic power. With several photovoltaic systems commissioned early last week, this brought the total cumulative installed solar power by BELECTRIC over the 1 GW mark. “This is an … [continued]
