Summary In September 2018, Open Energi began helping Sapphire Battery Energy Ltd to maximise the energy trading revenues from their 0.5MW Tesla battery co-located with rooftop solar PV, one of Britain’s first and largest “behind the meter” commercial and industrial solutions. The complex solar site is optimised against a range ...
What could be the better feeling for business owners if the parking space is utilized at its best? And what other than generating free electricity at th parking plots be more beneficial for business? I believe nothing. But this is the areas that is often neglected by the companies, business communities in Pakistan. The reasons are many but today we are here no to discuss the problems but ...
AMPIN Energy Transition has commissioned an 8.5MW (Phase 1) rooftop solar plant for Skoda Auto Volkswagen India in Pune, Maharashtra. The rooftop solar plant is installed at Skoda Auto Volkswagen India’s manufacturing unit in MIDC Chakan, Pune, Maharashtra. ...
This type of meter is particularly suitable for hybrid energy systems, such as those with traditional grid power and renewable energy sources (such as solar, wind, etc.), as well as diesel power generation.The following are some characteristics of dual source energy meters:Multi channel metering: The dual source energy meter has two independent metering channels, each ...
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 ...
With the continued stream of announcements around the early closure of coal-fired power plants across Australia, Renewable Energy Zones (REZs) are a key way forward as coal makes its exit. To date, there are 41 potential REZs flagged for potential development, each undergoing different phases of planning and consultation. According to a recent EnergyCo event, New South Wales has less than ...
*Source Rooftop versus ground-mounted solar system layout Shading occurs differently for photovoltaic rooftop systems and utility-scale ground-mount systems. ...
These are smaller renewable resources like rooftop solar panels and backup batteries, for either home or commercial buildings. ...

This blog is co-signed by Morten Petersen, Member of European Parliament. Major cities under water. Unprecedented heat waves. Terrifying storms. These are just a few of the nightmare scenarios evoked by UN Secretary General António Guterres following the publication in April of the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report on climate science. The findings could ...
“The EU needs to move away from its dependence on Russian gas and oil as soon as possible,by the end of 2022, solar energy will be deployed over 30GW, including 1.5 million new solar rooftops, and by 2030, Europe will be able to achieve 1TW of installed solar power", said SolarPowerEurope's CEO. ...
We have never spent more time in our own homes than we have in the past twelve months. It is no surprise then that consumer spending on home improvements is one sector that continues to experience growth, along with digital entertainment and consumer electronics. At the same time, 2020 has been a wakeup call for many to protect our planet. Tackling the climate emergency continues to gain ...
Type: Large Solar Rooftop System with Energy Storage Location: United Arab Emirates Client: Private Client Rooftop Solar with Lithium-Ion Phosphate Storage, Parallel Inverters, and Remote Monitoring Solar: 305 kWp Mono c-Si Storage: 614 kWh, 414.4 VDC Lithium-Ion Phosphate Inverters: 2 x 200kVA (400kVA ...
Type: Rooftop Microgrid Systems Location: India Client: Keltron Rooftop Solar Microgrid with Battery Backup Most Indian cities are densely populated and rooftop areas are very constrained. This is a rooftop with battery backup to allow for occasions when the grid fails. ...
In 2015 the target was raised to 100 GW of solar capacity (including 40 GW from rooftop solar) by 2022. The ambitious target has brought along with it the need to review the existing energy policies in order to satisfy all the stakeholders like prosumers, DISCOMs, energy regulators and the Government itself. ...
Electrical distribution can be easily overlooked in daily life. It’s out of sight and mind – electrical equipment is concealed within unassuming metal boxes and substations, while transmission lines run under our streets or are suspended above them. It can be easy to forget that distribution is a crucial element of our electrified world, a fact we are reminded of when the lights go ...
Depending on what part of the world you live in, you are continuously exposed to terms like Grid Edge and Smart Grid. But the narrative is not the same everywhere – some regions speak of supply and demand real time optimization, and others are concerned with reliability and generating useful energy data. Are we all living different electrical grid realities? Possibly. Let’s discuss ...
PowerStream, a municipally-owned electricity distribution company, will lease the Thornhill Community Centre rooftop and sell the energy generated by the PV system to the Ontario Power Authority under the Feed-In Tariff (FIT) program. Once integrated, the new solar generating facility will produce revenue at a rate of $0.635 per kWh, or approximately $300,000 per ...
Domestic rooftops: the segment has known a 14% year-on-year growth. The changes made to Building Regulations could encourage significantly PV solar deployment.
