Virgin Money’s funding will support the construction and operation of Derril Water Solar Park, the first solar park in the UK where members share the power it produces, as well as the ownership. Approximately 68,000 solar panels will generate enough electricity to power 14,000 homes and save 20,000 tonnes of…
The International Investment Summit and the government’s new industrial strategy have laid a pathway to secure critical private investment to support Britain’s growth. Ross Driver, Fund Manager at Foresight Solar, shares his views on the strategy and how it impacts the UK’s clean energy build-out. “Creating a stable, supportive investment…
In August 2024, utility-scale generation of solar electricity averaged 63.1 gigawatthours between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. each day in the Lower 48 states, 36% more than for the same hours in August 2023. Additions of solar generating capacity outpaced other resources in the U.S. electric power sector in 2023, and…
Floating solar photovoltaic panels could supply all the electricity needs of some countries, new research has shown.The study, by researchers from Lancaster and Bangor Universities and the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, aimed to calculate the global potential for deploying low-carbon floating solar arrays. The researchers calculated the daily…
Trinasolar, a global leader in smart photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage solutions, has collaborated with Kiwi Solar and Trilect to inaugurate Waikato’s first-ever agrivoltaics project. This initiative marks Trinasolar’s third venture into dual-use agricultural and solar farming in New Zealand.Spanning 6.5 hectares, the new solar farm features 5,740 modules equipped…
The dual use of land for agriculture and solar energy production, known as agrivoltaics, presents a new opportunity for farmers, but whether it makes economic sense for growers is a complex question. A new set of analytical tools developed by researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and published in the Journal of…
Solar cells may need sunlight, but they generally fare badly in the heat, operating less and less efficiently as they get hotter. Researchers led by Kasper Moth-Poulsen at the Polytechnic University of Catalunya in Barcelona, Spain have now tackled the heating that usually occurs in solar cells exposed to sunlight, by introducing…
