According to a recent report, the European Union (EU) has added a record-breaking 41.4 GW of solar power in 2022. The new capacity is equivalent to the power needs of 12.4 million European homes. In essence, the 41+ gigawatts of solar replaces 102 LNG tankers. Further, annual EU solar power … [continued]
Solar battery-powered homes are becoming increasingly popular, particularly in Germany. Total residential battery capacity in Europe is expected to reach 9.3 GWh by the end of 2022, powering over 1 million households, according to the most recent SolarPower Europe research. Germany leads the list of European countries with the most … [continued]
The European Solar Initiative and Solar Power Europe have teamed up to launch the new Solar Manufacturing Accelerator. This new platform is aimed at accelerating the deployment of solar PV manufacturing projects in Europe — something that strengthens the EU’s leadership in clean energy technologies. It also contributes to the … [continued]
SolarPower Europe and the South African Photovoltaic Industry Association (SAPVIA) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to strengthen cooperation and explore new business opportunities for solar companies in the European and South African solar market.
Cumulative utility-scale solar power generation capacity reached 35.9 GW at the end of 2014, with record new capacity addition last year, Wiki Solar has reported. Over 14 GW of utility-scale solar power capacity was added during 2014. North and Central America and Asia led all markets to take the annual … [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]
This bright news below brings the message that people are changing, things are changing. From a statement released in Brussels yesterday we find that the world’s cumulative solar photovoltaic (PV) electricity capacity surpassed 100 gigawatts (GW) in 2012, achieving just over 101 GW. This is according to new market figures … [continued]
Germany has become the first country in the world to have 30-gigawatts-peak of installed solar power capacity, according to initial reports. Solar PV installations continue to increase in the face of larger-than-expected cuts in Germany’s solar feed-in tariff. […]
SunEdison’s asset sales and service agreements raise cash and secure an income stream as it looks to weather tough market conditions and continue expanding. […]
Spain’s Isolux Corsan completed construction of three, five-megawatt (MW) solar photovoltaic (PV) power plants in Cornwall — the largest in the UK — in just ten weeks, ahead of schedule and in-budget. That brings to more than 300MW the total electricity generation capacity of the solar PV power plants it has built worldwide in the past three years
