What does it really take to build a stronger, smarter, clean energy future? In this episode of CleanTech Talk, we delve into the forces shaping the next era of solar energy. With decades of experience leading in the global energy space, from ABB and Schneider Electric to Enphase and now … [continued]
Undisclosed internet communications devices have been discovered in the inverters of solar panels manufactured in China.
SolarEdge is known for high efficiency inverters, and the company was at RE+ 2024 in Anaheim, California, again this year showing off all the latest improvements and upgrades it has made to its home solar ecosystem of products. Most people don’t get excited about the white and grey boxes that … [continued]
The solar industry has been driving down costs incrementally but consistently over the past decade. This has led to solar power becoming the most cost-competitive option for new power plants, which has led to solar power becoming the #1 source of new power capacity around the world. But that doesn’t … [continued]
Sungrow is apparently the world leader in solar power inverter solutions, and it announced recently that it crossed 10 gigawatts (GW) of cumulative inverter shipments in the Americas before the end of 2020.
China’s largest solar-plus-storage project has been connected to the grid. How big is it — 500 megawatts (MW)? 700 MW? 1,100 MW? Nope, we’re in 2020 — it’s 2,200 MW (2.2 GW).
Global solar inverter company SolarEdge recognizes the fertile chance of integration with electric vehicles, and manifesting the potential of combined solar energy monitoring and EV charge scheduling to help homeowners maximize energy usage.
Recently, OutBack Power™ released an AC coupling firmware update to its SkyBox™ hybrid inverter. AC coupling is ideal when users have an existing solar PV system and want to add batteries for backup and time-of-use energy management.
The global solar PV inverter market has concentrated significantly of late, with new figures from GTM Research showing that the top 10 inverter manufacturers accounted for 80% of global shipments in the first half of 2016.
Solar prices have been in a sharp decline for several years now, due primarily to massive drops in PV module pricing, but a new report has shown that solar prices will only continue to fall as price reductions spread to inverters, trackers, and even labor costs.
