An AGL and Risen Energy collaboration has seen Australia’s first utitily-scale solar farm using Heterojunction technology commissioned in southern New South Wales to power an almond orchard’s farming operation of over 700,000 trees.
Scientists have developed a precursor formulation for different PV simulation tools that can help calculate the expected performance of solar farms deployed on hilly slopes. Validation tests against an experimental setup showed an error of less than 3%.
A company in Fiji has launched a tender for a consulting firm to carry out a feasibility study for a proposed 10 MW ground-mounted solar plant. The deadline for applications is May 30.
Australia’s solar sector is poised for significant growth in the next five years with a new report projecting utility-scale PV will exceed 50 GW total capacity by 2030, up from about 10 GW current operational capacity.
The Taiwanese government has proposed new rules requiring PV installations on most new, expanded, or renovated buildings. The draft standards aim to boost renewable energy and decarbonisation by setting minimum solar capacity requirements, with potential exemptions for insufficient sunlight or technical issues.
Australia’s rooftop solar market suffered a downturn in April with about 225 MW of new capacity registered across the country last month, down 10% compared to the previous month.
Victoria’s largest urban solar farm has been officially switched on at La Trobe University’s Melbourne campus, marking a major milestone in the university’s ambition to achieve carbon neutrality by 2029.
Researchers in Iran developed a passive solar module cooling method using silicon carbide porous ceramic. When combined with phase change materials, the technique reportedly boosts panel performance by up to 7.4%.
Building-integrated photovoltaic solutions company ClearVue will deliver solar feature glass between the 44th and 50th floors of an iconic Sydney central business district building, marking the company’s first high rise project.
A Queensland university has released findings from its first stage hydrogen production pilot plant that uses solar energy, battery storage and a microgrid to produce hydrogen from non-drinkable water, such as seawater.
