Enhancing PV glazing prospects in solar architecture
To make it easier to adopt building integrated PV (BIPV) as a glazing material, a group within the IEA Photovoltaic Power Systems Programme (IEA-PVPS) has tackled the solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) calculation for BIPV. It is part of IEA PVPS Task 15 international standardization efforts.
Arevon secures $509 million for two Missouri solar projects
Two projects totaling 430 MW are expected to be supported by the funding.
The role of battery energy storage systems in sustainable data centers
While many data centres have started using solar power as part of their energy sources, they still depend on grid energy because of regulatory issues like discom regulations and banking policies. To enhance the use of green energy and lessen reliance on fossil-fuel-based grid electricity, combining battery energy storage systems (BESS) with hybrid solar and wind power systems is a practical solution.
