In November, the average price of various solar photovoltaic (PV) modules in Europe remained stable, consistent with overall buyer confidence in the European solar industry. This conclusion is based on the latest pv.index report from sun.store, which covers purchasing trends and market sentiment in the European solar sector. The average selling prices of two types of monofacial PV modules t...
Italy has secured contracts for a total of 1.1 GW of photovoltaic (PV) projects in its non-price-based FER-X tender under its Net Zero Industry Act. A total of 88 projects were awarded, nearly half of the 157 projects (total installed capacity of 1.85 GW) shortlisted in November. Organized by the Italian energy management agency, this tender will award contracts to projects using non...
The International Energy Agency (IEA) states that vertically mounted fixed-tilt brackets and bifacial photovoltaic (PV) modules may be the most efficient way to deploy solar photovoltaic (PV) systems in the Arctic region. The IEA's Photovoltaic Power Systems (PVPS) Task Group 13 released a report exploring the feasibility and challenges of installing PV systems in its defined "Greater Arcti...
A strait that has never truly been closed is becoming a "trigger point" for the global energy market. On February 28, the United States and Israel launched military strikes against Iran. That evening, the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced a ban on any ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. Almost simultaneously with the news, oil and gas prices surged. R...
Summer is here, and cold storage owners are having sleepless nights again. Every year from June to September, cold storage operators face two real problems: a sharp rise in electricity bills and an increased risk of power outages. Let's do a simple calculation: a medium-sized cold storage facility with a capacity of around 2000 cubic meters consumes between 800 and 1200 kWh of electricity per day....
Imagine you've just spent tens of thousands installing a solar panel system, happily selling excess electricity back to the grid, calculating how many years it will take to recoup your investment. Suddenly, one day, the government tells you: you must install an energy storage system by the end of 2027, otherwise you can forget about selling your excess electricity; the grid will only allow you to ...
