A photovoltaic hydrogen production project located in North-West of China was hit by a level 13 sandstorm. A large number of solar photovoltaic brackets collapsed, photovoltaic modules were damaged to varying degrees, and some modules were completely broken. Relevant personnel said that the serious damage to the project was the result of the joint action of various influencing factors. On the day of the accident, the gust intensity reached level 13 or above, and the windy weather lasted for nearly 12 hours. At the same time, the project uses super-large photovoltaic modules, and the design of the support strength does not fully consider the wind load. The reason for this accident is that the project developer did not purchase commercial insurance, and the manufacturer usually does not purchase additional commercial insurance for the manufactured products. lead to heavy losses. In order to prevent possible losses, during the project bidding stage, some owners will specifically propose that the general contractor (EPC) be responsible for purchasing "project all risks" and clearly write it into the contract. The various components used in this incident are not the first to come out, and it should be attributed to the lack of awareness of dealing with extreme weather and safety issues. For the construction of the project, it is not only about cost reduction, but also for safe and stable operation, it is necessary to thicken the component glass, strengthen the bracket material, deepen the piling, and take into account both cost and project safety.
Data released by the Hellenic Association of Photovoltaic Companies, show that the Greek solar market installed three times more capacity in 2022 compared to 2021. Greece connected 1.36 GW of new PV capacity to the grid in 2022. Of this, 341.5 MW was connected to Greece’s transmission grid and about 1020MW was connected to Greece’s distribution grids. Given the fact that commercial net-metered system installations more than doubled that of residential systems, the Greek government wants to boost the residential segment by introducing a new generous rebate scheme aiming specifically at residential solar-plus-storage. The government said the new scheme will be published shortly, possibly before the end of March, 2023. And Greece aims to have 14.1 GW of installed PV capacity by 2030 and 34.5 GW by 2050.

Economy Minister Robert Habeck, a leading member of the Greens party, noted that Germany needed to take a range of steps, including diversifying its sources of imports. "We need to admit that in the past we have been too reliant on Russian imports," Habeck told journalists ahead of a European Union meeting in Brussels. "In the medium and long term, we are going to significantly reduce the consumption of fossil fuels." Habeck's ministry plans to speed up the passage of the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) through parliament so that it can come into force by July 1. The act would see Germany suspend cuts to subsidies for new solar panels on roofs this year and increase solar tenders to 20 gigawatts by 2028 from about five gigawatts now, keeping them at that level until 2035, the ministry said. Germany would also boost tender volumes for onshore wind energy to 10 gigawatts (GW) annually by 2027 from about two gigawatts now and keep them at that level through to 2035. These steps would help renewable sources account for 80% of Germany's electricity needs by 2030 and all of them by 2035, compared to a previous target to abandon fossil fuels "well before 2040", the ministry said. By 2035, Germany's onshore wind energy capacity should double to up to 110 GW, offshore wind energy should reach 30 GW and solar energy would more than triple to 200 GW. However, Habeck rejected calls for Germany to reconsider exiting coal and nuclear power in light of Russia's invasion. "Coal and nuclear are not alternatives for Germany," he said, noting that half of Germany's coal was also imported from Russia and adding that it would not be possible to keep nuclear plants online as they do not have approval to keep running.

In the first half of 2020, affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, although global electricity demand fell by 3%, wind and solar power generation still increased by 14% year-on-year. Among the 48 countries and regions in the report, wind and solar power generation increased from 992 TWh in 2019 to 1,129 TWh in the first half of 2020. Compared with the first half of 2019, global coal power generation in the first half of 2020 fell by 8.3%. This is the biggest drop since 1990, following a 3% year-on-year decline in 2019. A major factor driving the decline in coal power generation is the decline in electricity demand caused by the global epidemic, but the increase in wind andsolar power generation and higher market shares are also the main reasons for the decline in coal power. Although the electricity demand caused by the COVID-19 epidemic has not yet affected wind and solar power generation. However, the global epidemic has affected the installation speed of new wind and solar power generation devices in 2020; the International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts that by 2020, the newly installed capacity of renewable energy power generation will drop by 13%, falling to the level since 2015 The lowest level. Dave Jones, senior power analyst at Ember, said: “Countries around the world are striving to build more wind spots and photovoltaic panels to replace coal power. If the global temperature rise is to be limited to 1.5 degrees Celsius, coal power generation will have to be generated every year for the next ten years. A reduction of 13%. However, despite the impact of the new crown epidemic that has curbed electricity demand as a whole, coal power generation only dropped by 8% in the first half of this year. This fact shows that we are still deviating from the energy transition track. We have a transition solution. The plan, it’s working, but it’s not progressing fast enough."

As the Covid-19 pandemic gradually eases, countries around the world have slowly begun to relax lockdown measures. Some countries have also launched varying types of economic stimulus to support the solar sector. In contrast to others, the Chinese market is stable, as the country has had some success in controlling the virus. With demand turning out better than anticipated in the second quarter and the spread of Covid-19 slowing in some overseas markets, PV InfoLink has raised its forecast for annual global module demand to 121.1 GW. Countries across the globe have launched solar stimulus packages in the wake of Covid-19, as part of wider moves to restart their economies. Shipments to the traditional leading European markets such as Spain and Germany have remained stable, sitting at 410 MW and 383 MW, respectively. Other marketplaces including the United States, the Middle East, and Australia, are also showing signs of recovery. They are likely to return to normality in the second half. The situation in Latin America is quite the opposite. The region’s politics and economy took a heavy blow amid virus outbreak and oil price crash. Demand weakened in April, with total module shipment volumes from China to Brazil, Mexico, and Chile having dropped nearly 75% compared to March. India’s further extension of lockdown has also hindered its demand recovery. Compared to March, China’s exports of modules to the country slumped by 65% in April. The situations in these marketplaces, however, did not change the fact that overall demand in Q2 fared better than initially expected. It is expected that markets will be totally reopened in July. As overseas markets start picking up during the second to early third quarter, demand will turn better at the end of September and reach the peak of the year in the final quarter. With the pandemic being gradually contained in many countries, global demand is likely to grow each quarter in the second half. However, as demand from quite a few projects have been deferred by the pandemic to the first half of 2021, the recovery will remain slow at the beginning of the third quarter and begin to climb, with demand reaching the highest level of the year in the fourth quarter of the year. The impacts of Covid-19 on the global solar sector may yet continue into 2021. Despite being hammered by the virus crisis, the world’s progress toward a low-carbon and sustainable future remains unchanged. Solar power, which has seen significant reductions in upfront cost and LCOE in recent years, will continue to lead the way in the long term.

A few days ago, an industry research organization IHS Markit released a new survey study that shows that in the past 10 years, the number of renewable energy projects invested and constructed in the oil and gas industry has been increasing every year. In 2000, the oil and gas industry invested in less than 15 renewable energy projects throughout the year. This year, the number of renewable energy projects in the oil and gas industry is expected to exceed 45, an increase of 200%. IHS Markit believes that at this stage, under the background of increasing pressure on climate and environmental protection, global oil and gas companies are facing the test of transformation. “In order to reduce carbon emissions, oil and gas companies have begun to get involved in the renewable energy business. Among them, many companies choose to install photovoltaic power generation facilities on the roofs of their factories and use zero-carbon green electricity, thereby greatly reducing the carbon emissions generated by factory operations.” The survey shows that photovoltaic power generation, hydropower and wind power projects are the renewable energy projects with the largest number of investment and construction in the oil and gas industry. In 2018 and 2019 alone, the oil and gas industry invested in 13 and 15 renewable energy projects respectively. It is estimated that after these 28 projects are successfully completed and put into operation, they will contribute to the reduction of about 3 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions each year. In February of this year, the International Energy Agency (IEA) pointed out in its "Oil and Gas Industry in Energy Transition" report that although traditional energy businesses such as oil and gas can bring substantial returns to oil and gas companies in the short term, if the reduction is ignored Discharge may threaten the social acceptability and long-term profitability of these oil and gas giants. IEA believes that the participation of the oil and gas industry in investing in renewable energy projects is crucial. On the one hand, the oil and gas industry is still the cornerstone of today's energy system. In the next 20 years, oil and gas will remain one of the world's main energy sources, and this part of the demand needs to be guaranteed. On the other hand, the oil and gas industry emits relatively large amounts of greenhouse gases, and reducing their emissions is a key step to obtain environmental benefits. Therefore, in the face of emission reduction requirements, oil and gas companies should further "out of the comfort zone" and actively expand their renewable energy business. IEA predicts that in the future, the oil and gas industry will further expand its investment in the renewable energy market. So far, oil and gas companies have invested less than 1% of total capital expenditures outside of their core businesses. In order to promote continuous progress in the global response to climate change, investment in low-car...

Putting solar panels on your roof costs as much as a car, but the cohort of experienced buyers is far, far smaller. Besides that, “This is a big one. This is one where you can’t say, ‘well, if I make a mistake, the next time I’ll know better,’” says Jane Weissman, the president and CEO of the nonprofit Interstate Renewable Energy Council, which just released a consumer checklist and other resources for rooftop solar to consider before making the jump to solar energy. 1. Do you have a roof that can support solar panels? This is pretty key. If your roof is covered in shade most of the day throughout the year, or your roof won’t cut it, or you can’t make the call because you rent your apartment or live in a multi-unit building, looking into shared or community solar would be better choice. This approach lets many different customers buy a stake in a solar installation and receive credits on their electricity bills. If you do have a suitably sunlit rooftop to work with, Weissman says, make sure it’s in good shape structurally, thus you don’t have to pay extra time and money for renovation mounting system during the 20 or 25 years of solar installation warranties. Lastly, envision the future of your yard away from obstructions. Be prepared to prune your foliage to keep the panels clear. 2. Have you done everything you can to improve efficiency? The amount of solar energy you need to produce depends on how much you use, so it makes sense to trim your usage as much as possible before paying for all those panels and Fastensol mounted. Start with an energy audit and look for efficiency upgrades before you draw up blueprints. 3. Which kind of solar makes sense? If your home uses a lot of energy for heating, or you live somewhere where heating fuel is expensive relative to electricity, a solar thermal investment could break even sooner, says the engineer Timothy Wilhelm. But, he adds, solar thermal is rarer for homes, so it might be harder to find a qualified installer. 4. How do you connect to the grid? The details vary depending on where you live, but the principle is that any time you’re connecting with a utility, there are a lot of logistics to sort out. Do you have to pay a fee? How long does it take for the utility to get you hooked up? Once you are connected, how and when will you be credited for the electricity you generate? That refers to net-metering, the practice by which utilities reimburse rooftop solar at the same rate as they charge users for electricity. 5. Is your installer trustworthy? This applies any time you hire someone to come into your home, but solar combines the logistics of a home improvement project with the risks of electrical work. Credentials and references are especially important. “You wouldn’t hire an electrician who had never done electrical work to come into your house and change things around,” says Kelly Larson, an electrical contractor in California with 20 years of experience doing solar installations. And this is a b...
On the back of growing population and economic development around the world combined with rising energy demand among residential, commercial and public services, and transport sector, the global DG Ground-mounted Solar PV market is estimated to witness exuberant growth over the forecast period, i.e., 2020-2028. According to IEA (International Energy Agency), the worldwide energy demand grew by 4% (900TWh) in 2018. In the same year, the estimation of total electricity production across the globe was attained through coal and natural gas, with coal contributing to 25.6% and natural gas with 27.9% of the total production. Additionally, there is a rising demand for clean, sustainable and eco-friendly energy generation due to increased concerns pertaining to rise in CO2 emissions from energy generation.
