Agrivoltaics refers to using the same land to generate solar electricity and support agriculture. As the world moves past the TW scale solar fleet and we deploy more solar every year, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find suitable land to develop solar projects.

This year Intersolar Europe returned with all the intensity and inertia of an industry propelled by the changing landscape of the world; changes that have felt both shocking and unforeseen while at the same time altogether inevitable.

The solar industry is constantly innovating and improving, yet there are staples of any solar park that are present in every project. Understanding what to expect at the beginning of the construction and knowing how to navigate potential challenges, or how to avoid them altogether, could greatly boost the performance of the solar park, as well as reduce expenses.

Ever since its conception, PVcase has been about removing monotony from the engineering workflow. Step by step, we are working on improving the efficiency of solar projects. And this year, we certainly have things to be proud of.

International Energy Outlook (IEO2021), compiled by Energy Information Administration (EIA), analyzes long-term world energy markets in 16 OECD and non-OECD regions through 2050.

When it comes to solar energy, modules, panels and inverters are undoubtedly important, but they alone cannot distribute electricity. Cables are one of the essential components of a solar park since they ensure the energy produced by the panels can be safely and properly transported.

Solar LCoE is an important metric for power plants to assess the cost-effectiveness of solar energy generation assets. It can allow them to more easily compare and contrast the value of different options, as well as get a ballpark on long-term costs.

The irradiance that a PV module receives has a significant impact on its power output. When selecting a suitable installation site, it’s best to focus on locations that offer easy and straight access to sunlight, since it naturally increases project efficiency.
