Fixed tilt vs tracker system comparison for ground-mounted PV systems

Outline of the problem It’s not a secret that PV designers have to consider the long-term costs of all components in the PV installation. Everything from groundwork to cabling and even shading has to be considered before the work starts because any alterations to a large-scale project will cost both time and money. Additionally, there’s the problem of upkeep; if the various components of…

Why rooftop solar is a key part of the clean energy transition

Renewable energy is growing exponentially, with solar leading the way. Back in 2010, just 18 gigawatts (GW) of solar were installed globally. This year alone, over 200 GW will be installed. It took a decade for the world to get to 1 terawatt (TW) of installed solar capacity. That’s expected to more than double in the next few years. Large solar parks have driven much of this growth. Out of…

RE+ 2022: Possibilities and challenges of the IRA

RE+ (formerly SPI) conference was an exceptional experience given the 3-year gap that took place between the last two events. Since 2019 the solar landscape has changed significantly marked by new challenges and possibilities driven by technological innovations, the geopolitical climate and social justice movements. RE+ 2022 was also special because it witnessed turning points in the…

Most solar modules retain 80% productivity after 3 decades

Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) has recently finished a five-year solar module degradation study. SNL purchased over 834 modules representing 13 different technologies from 7 manufacturers. They placed them in the three different locations of the field, each representing a different range of climate. The test has also examined the initial power stabilization and degradation rates.   SNL…

The year in review: What’s happened at PVcase in 2022

In 2022 the whole world was in turmoil. After recovering from the pandemic, we faced a hideous russia's invasion of Ukraine that shook the globe and affected the majority of spheres. Unsurprisingly, the energy sector was one of those significantly affected fields. Such circumstances have also altered the role of renewable energy. Renewables have been crucial in increasing Europe's energy…
