At the COP26 global climate summit in Glasgow in November 2021, India set an ambitious target to reach net zero emissions by 2070. Further, it announced that it would increase its non-fossil energy capacity to […]
A key trend in the solar segment, which has led to technology advancements in solar inverters, has been the increased focus on balance of systems to maintain high returns on investment. To this end, inverters […]
Solar inverters are a crucial component in the deployment of solar energy. These devices convert DC power flowing from solar panels to AC power, making the energy usable for wide-ranging purposes. Solar inverters can be […]
An inverter is the heart of the solar PV system. It converts solar array-generated DC power into AC power in synchronisation with the grid. The inverter has additional functions such as maximum power point tracking, […]
In the dry cleaning method of cleaning solar modules, no water is used and solar panels are cleaned using air pressure and dry brushes. Dry cleaning solutions are gaining traction owing to water availability issues […]
Cleaning of solar PV modules is one of the most critical activities of solar operations and maintenance (O&M). Solar modules are prone to the accumulation of dust, dirt, bird droppings and other impurities, depending on […]
One of the most successful ways of moving towards renewable and non-polluting energy sources is by using solar panels to harness the sun’s energy for electricity generation. Solar panels are cost-effective with low maintenance requirements […]
Land acquisition challenges have long hindered the implementation of large solar power projects in India. Many projects have been delayed, tenders postponed and bids cancelled. Thus, other solar segments such as rooftop and floating solar […]
The floating solar segment has attracted the interest of the renewable energy industry, particularly in view of the land acquisition challenges. Further, higher generation, lower operations and maintenance (O&M) costs, and reduced water evaporation are […]
As most renewable energy projects, especially solar projects, are land intensive, floating solar is emerging as an efficient alternative. According to an article titled “Renewable Energy and Land Use in India: A Vision to Facilitate […]
The fast growing solar segment owes its growth to the uptake in project installations. To fully utilise the solar potential from the large number of solar projects, it is important for them to be efficient […]
The solar energy industry in India is expanding, with the installed capacity increasing by 11 times between 2014 and 2019, according to the statistics provided by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE). With […]
Trackers are among the most rapidly evolving technologies in the solar space. Solar tracking systems allow modules to move so that they continuously face the sun. The aim of such a system is to maximise […]
A solar balance of system (BoS) encompasses several elements that play a significant role in ensuring smooth and efficient transmission and delivery of power by a solar module. Cables, connectors and junction boxes are key […]
The solar sector has become a mature industry within a decade, and all stakeholders have a clear understanding of the different technologies and components used in a solar project. The inverter, one of the key […]
As of October 2021, India’s solar power capacity has crossed 46 GW, surpassing wind power to become the leading renewable energy resource in terms of installed capacity. This was an expected outcome, owing to the […]
India’s plans to promote domestic manufacturing have finally started gaining traction after years of slow progress. So far, domestic solar manufacturing capacity has failed to keep pace with the scale of deployments and thus India […]
The operations and maintenance (O&M) of solar plants is a key market area where technologies are continuously evolving. With the rapidly increasing size and scale of solar projects, there is now a greater focus on […]
Renewable energy has become a major aspect of development agendas of countries around the world. As per the International Energy Agency, the use of renewable energy increased by 3 per cent in 2020, corresponding with […]
The global solar manufacturing industry is undoubtedly dominated by China, which accounts for about 71 per cent of the world’s solar manufacturing capacity. Moreover, solar photovoltaic (PV) manufacturing involves both pre-cell and post-cell processes, and […]
