The U.S. should capitalize on China’s formidable experience to put its own domestic solar power sector on a more “economically sensible” path, researchers from Stanford University said in a new report. The March 21–released report, “The New Solar System,” which was funded by a research grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), offers a […]

Shanghai, China, 27 March 2017. The Schletter Group has installed its newly developed mounting solution for greenhouse solar PV systems for the first time in China. A 20 MWp large-scale photovoltaic system was installed for the “Jiangs-North Greenhouse Project” in a vegetable cultivation plant in the province of Sihong for the project developers, Nanjing QDC. […]

The boom in renewable energy, spurred by dramatically falling costs, has led some experts and political figures to begin talking seriously about what was once science fiction: A world powered entirely by renewable generation. But is it truly feasible or economic? One series of studies suggests it is—with some important caveats. In the first half […]

– Expanding on its recently announced plan to build four new universal solar power plants this year, FPL is now effectively doubling its near-term commitment – bringing more solar energy to its customers sooner – With FPL’s ability to build large-scale solar cost effectively, the new solar power plants are expected to produce millions of […]

Pairing energy storage with rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) systems has been widely touted as the path for greater deployment of renewable energy, but a new study from researchers at the University of Texas suggests doing so may actually increase overall energy consumption and emissions. The study, “The Impacts of Storing Solar Energy in the Home […]
