The economic condition of Pakistan is devastated, and every year, the government tends to add extra tariffs on electricity consumption to manage the fiscal deficit. The recent increase of more than 7 rupees per unit is a clear indication of this situation. Pakistan produces over 60% of its total power using fossil fuels, such as gas and furnace oil. In the fiscal year 2021-22, the government ...
Saying the last few years in California agriculture have been "rough" is an understatement. From a multi-year drought and wildfires to extreme rain and floods... and now we're facing the highest energy costs in the United States! Here's what's going on - and what you need to know to stay ...
Introduction Solar off-Grid power Plant is the best and viable electricity source where the conventional grid based electricity has not been able to reach in remote rural areas and small settlements. The State Electricity Boards (SEBs) often consider such locations financially not viable due to the high cost of laying transmission lines coupled with low power demand resulting in low ...
Perfect for PV projects METEON 2.0 can be of great help when you are responsible for the maintenance of a solar energy plant. To check if the pyranometers are installed correctly, to validate their data and to check if the whole system is working properly. ...
There’s arguably never been a more exciting time for solar businesses in the U.S. According to the U.S. Solar Market Insight Report, solar accounted for 56 percent of all new electricity-generating capacity added in the first half of 2021. And this is only the beginning of the solar construction boom. Nowhere is this growth more apparent than in California, where installers are in a race ...

A primary goal of utility-scale PV power plants is to optimize power production. To achieve that goal, manufacturers are turning to increased module sizes in the hopes of increasing module power. This can bring lower levelized cost of energy, lower balance of system costs, faster installation, and, sometimes, even reduced land costs. With 650W+ modules now available, it appears that large module ...
