San Antonio approves state’s largest municipal solar project

By Billy Ludt San Antonio City Council has selected Big Sun Solar to construct and manage the largest on-site solar project by a local Texas government. The $30 million project will be made of rooftop, parking and park canopy solar PV systems at 42 city facilities, making it the nation’s second-largest municipal solar project, following…

WILOC releases software to speed up solar commissioning

By Kelsey Misbrener WILOC has announced a complete set of digital tools to accelerate the commissioning of solar plants by 25% and ensure a constant and increasing production of sustainable energy. As the United States accelerates its transition to renewable energy, the digitization of PV plants plays a key role in optimizing efficiency and ensuring…

Constrained off

By [Energy Central] Rafael Herzberg Constrained off The Brazilian National System Operator is sharing its overview of the new processes and criteria for determining and paying operating restrictions due to constrained-off of photovoltaic solar generating plants (UFV), In simple words, it is about identifying what happens when UFV cannot be dispatched due to restrictions in…

PV-MoVe: PV-Wechselrichter Kleiner, leichter und kosteneffizienter

By Solarserver Photovoltaik-Wechselrichter lassen sich kleiner, leichter und kosteneffizienter produzieren, wenn die Hersteller bei ihnen die Schalterverluste aktiv reduzieren. Darauf weist das Projekt „PV-MoVe“ heute hin. So konnte durch neuentwickelte Zusatzbeschaltungen in einem 50-kW-Photovoltaik-Wechselrichter die Schaltfrequenzen in der DC-Eingangsstufe um den Faktor 2,5 bis 3 und der Wechselrichter-Ausgangsstufe um den Faktor 10 bis 12,5 gesteigert…

Embracing Floatovoltaics : Floating Solar Panels

By Abigale Sherman Floatovoltaics, a portmanteau of ‘floating’ and ‘photovoltaics’, is an innovative approach in harnessing solar energy. This technology involves deploying solar panels on floating structures in water bodies such as reservoirs, dams, and ponds. Unlike traditional land-based solar farms, floatovoltaics represent a unique intersection of renewable energy and water conservation, addressing the growing…
