Dirty solar panels are a common dilemma for residential and large-scale solar installations of photovoltaic panels (solar panels). Typically, dirt from air pollution, agriculture, construction, and unpaved roads accumulates on the panels. The dirtier the solar panels are —the lower the electricity they will produce. But the question remains, are the benefits of regularly cleaning dirty ...
BIOSAR is a full EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) contractor offering integrated solutions in the areas of design, supply, construction, operation and maintenance of medium and large-scale PV systems all around the world. Their headquarter is located in Athens, Greece. Three large BIOSAR solar plants in Brazil and Australia have recently been equipped with Lufft weather sensors ...
Wood Mackenzie predicts 20 GW of new capacity will come online between 2019 and 2024, mostly utility-scale. Developers are racing to bring online capacity allocated in Spain's record 3.9 GW solar tender held in 2017, but demand for unsubsidized projects is also soaring and Spain will be one of Europe's most active solar markets in the coming years. ...
Traditional storage plus solar (PV) applications have involved the coupling of independent storage and PV inverters at an AC bus, or alternatively the use of multi-input hybrid inverters. Here we will examine how a new cost-effective approach of coupling energy storage to existing PV arrays with a DC-to-DC converter can help maximize production and profi ts for existing and new utility-scale ...
Most impressively, the levelised cost of electricity (LCOE)1 of solar PV has halved between 2010 and 2014, so that solar photovoltaics (PV) is also increasingly competitive at the utility scale. ...
The most recent round of the Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) in South Africa saw fewer projects awarded than Round I. At first glance it did not look positive when only 9 projects, half the amount seen in Round I, were announced as preferred bidders by the Department of Energy. The number of projects in Round II had dropped from 18 to 9, in addition to the overall power allocated across ...
