Sunrise brief: Tax credits announced for solar ingot and wafer manufacturing
Also on the rise: Developer bolsters 1.3 GW Vista Sands Solar proposal with detailed benefits analysis. Striking a balance: Growth, energy and decarbonization.
Tax credits announced for solar ingot and wafer manufacturing
New incentives support solar manufacturers and encourage the domestic buildout of the earlier stages of the solar supply chain.
Developer bolsters 1.3 GW Vista Sands Solar proposal with detailed benefits analysis
Doral Renewables turns to research firm to show public health, ecosystem and economic benefits.
Striking a balance: Growth, energy and decarbonization
By prioritizing the combination of electrification and digitization, what Schneider Electric calls Electricity 4.0, we can ensure that technology and other critical sectors like buildings, industry, and transportation run efficiently and are powered with the cleanest possible energy mix.
Sunrise brief: Polysilicon prices remain stable ahead of U.S. Department of Commerce’s anti-dumping ruling
Also on the rise: Two utilities share their experience with reconductoring that can enable more solar. Navigating solar panel supply challenges through digitalization. And more.
Navigating solar panel supply challenges through digitalization
High interest rates, excess warehouse inventory, and falling component prices have created a perfect storm for solar distributors since October 2023. BayWa re Solar Trade CEO Frank Jessel explains how the industry can embrace true digitalization to better navigate this volatility.
Solving the UV problem of n-type solar
Laboratory testing has revealed that some negatively-doped, “n-type” tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) and heterojunction (HJT) solar modules are susceptible to ultraviolet (UV) light-related damage and degradation. That could mean trouble down the line, if modules in the field begin to show UV-related performance loss. Manufacturers are implementing solutions at cell and module level.
Two utilities share their experience with reconductoring that can enable more solar
While replacing existing transmission lines known as conductors with advanced conductors could enable 764 GW of transmission-connected solar by 2035, some utilities are slow to adopt the technology. Two utilities that have used advanced conductors for years shared their experiences on a webinar.
Polysilicon prices remain stable ahead of U.S. Department of Commerce’s anti-dumping ruling
In a new weekly update for pv magazine, OPIS, a Dow Jones company, provides a quick look at the main price trends in the global PV industry.
Sunrise brief: General Motors launches residential storage system
Also on the rise: Powering restaurants with rooftop PV, reversible fuel cells. JinkoSolar, Trina say TOPCon modules outperform p-type back-contact panels. And more.
