Victorian commercial solar system installations greater than 100 kW can access a decade’s worth of energy efficiency certificates up front after the first year, based on greenhouse gas emissions reductions rather than power generated.
A University of New South Wales, Sydney study, in collaboration with the University of Calcutta, India, has found urban rooftop solar installations can raise daytime temperatures in a given area by up to 1.9 degrees, and lower them at night by up to 0.8 degrees.
Battery and inverter manufacturer Redback Technologies has bounced back from a tumultuous start to the year – including a short stint in voluntary administration – with the launch of a new range of solar and energy storage products.
The Chinese PV manufacturer said its new module series has a power conversion efficiency of up to 24.8% and temperature coefficient is -0.26% per C.
The International Energy Agency says renewables are on course to meet almost half of global electricity demand by 2030, with solar accounting for 80% of the growth in capacity.
Scientists have designed a new building-integrated PV system that uses 30 mm of phase change material on each side of the wall. The array reportedly achieved superior thermoelectric coupling performance compared to reference BIPV systems without PCM.
Australia’s rooftop solar installation rate has continued to cool for a second consecutive month with national market volumes in September down about 3% on August when 273 MW was installed.
The India-based module producer said its new panels have a power conversion efficiency of up to 23.1% and a temperature coefficient of -0.24% per C.
Rooftop solar certificate aggregator Emerging Energy Solutions, which has gone into liquidation reportedly owing creditors more than $86 million, has had its registration “permanently suspended” by the Clean Energy Regulator.
Global investment firm Patrizia and Japanese trading and investment giant Mitsui have continued their push into the Asia Pacific renewable energy market, acquiring an interest in Philippines-based rooftop solar developer BEI.
