Glass breakage is a growing concern for the solar power plant operators. With the trend towards double glass sided modules as seen in Bifacials, or TOPCon with double glass sided construction, the changes in solar PV module design and materials mean breakages are now a bigger risk than ever. These breakages can be due to […]
Vietnam’s decision to retroactively revise subsidised pricing rules for wind and solar energy has raised concerns among stakeholders in the industry, especially foreign investors. The move comes after Vietnam blew past its renewable addition targets between 2020-23 on the back of a generous Feed In tariff mechanism that made projects much more lucrative in the […]
Renewable energy sources struggled to become a reliable alternative to fossil-based power for long. The Utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) emerged as a panacea to renewable woes, with new renewable projects now even accommodating BESS as a part of the project. The landscape of utility-scale BESS is also now witnessing a dynamic evolution, with […]
Decades ago, global warming and associated climate change had prompted the world to take some serious measures, such as curbing GHG emissions and trapping pollutants. Today, the surge of renewable energy, especially solar and wind energy, is now promising the sustainable future the world once dreamed about. However, climate change has also become profound, leading […]
Solar power has taken over the world’s new power projects, becoming the harbinger of the renewable energy age that everyone awaited for so long. Indeed, the utility scale mega solar projects and rooftop solar have been the mainstream type of solar installations. However, other solar power systems, like the balcony solar systems, are quietly gaining […]
