The UK’s large-scale solar pipeline at the beginning of 2019 sat at nearly 3.5 gigawatts (GW) according to in-house research done by the team at Solar Media and headed up by solar industry expert Finlay Colville.
Capital expenditure for the global solar PV industry will grow by almost 25% on 2017 levels and punch through the $10 billion mark, returning to levels not seen since 2010 and 2011, according to one of the solar industry’s leading experts, PV Tech’s Finlay Colville.
One of the industry’s leading experts, Finlay Colville, has concluded that the United Kingdom’s large-scale solar pipeline is approaching 4 gigawatts thanks in part to a new 300 megawatt solar farm being developed in the south of England.
The United Kingdom installed an impressive 640 megawatts of new solar capacity in the first quarter of this year, dominated by 4.99 megawatt solar farms seeking to qualify for 1.2 Renewable Obligation Certificates before the scheme was phased out on 31 March.
According to Solar Intelligence analyst Finlay Colville, the UK installed 1.553 GW of new solar PV capacity during the first quarter of 2016. “The wait is over, and the counting has been finished by our research team,” explained leading solar energy expert, Finlay Colville, this week. “The size of the … [continued]
According to Solar Power Portal, the UK solar industry has reached a cumulative capacity of more than 10 GW. Solar Power Portal, part of the Solar Media organisation, exclusively revealed that the UK solar PV industry had “broken through the 10 GW barrier.” The news comes just weeks after the … [continued]
In an exclusive article posted on Solar Power Portal, NPD Solarbuzz Vice President Finlay Colville reported the company’s latest figures, showing that the UK has now reached 2 GW of new solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity additions during 2014. “The mid-year lull is now officially over,” writes Colville. “Lorries and crates … [continued]
“The solar photovoltaic industry will continue to offer strong growth potential for a wide range of PV manufacturing technologies,” said NPD Solarbuzz vice president, Finlay Colville, on the launch of their latest PV Technology Roadmap report, which shows thin-film, premium crystalline silicon (c-Si), and the more traditional standard silicon-based each able … [continued]
The UK’s Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) has confirmed that it plans to cut support for large-scale solar projects over 5 MW from April 2015, confirming fears raised back in May when the adjustments to the Renewable Obligation Certificates (ROC) were first suggested. The news comes only a … [continued]
Solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity installed throughout the United Kingdom has apparently reached 5 GW, according to NPD Solarbuzz, making the country just the sixth country to reach the figure (behind Germany, China, Japan, Italy, and the US). Finlay Colville, Solarbuzz Vice President, posted about the data on the company blog, … [continued]
