Commercial & Industrial PV

One of the largest single rooftop solar panel installations at an Australian airport is approaching completion with Brisbane Airport Corporation announcing that a 1.2 MW rooftop system being fitted to new warehouse at the venue is nearing commissioning.

The largest integrated off-grid solar and battery storage facility in Australia when it was deployed, the DeGrussa solar and battery hub in remote Western Australia has reached end of life with asset owner Neoen confirming it is now planning to remove the more than 34,000 solar panels and rehabilitate the site.

Trina Solar is preparing to launch a new Vertex S+ series panel in Australia that features a maximum power output of 505 W and 22.5% efficiency and has been designed specifically for commercial and industrial applications.

Solar fences are beginning to gain traction in European and North American markets and now data provided by energy software service provider Gridcog suggests that vertical bifacial solar could be technically and economically viable in Australia.

The new algorithm monitors the inverter subsystems and sends alarms when maximum and minimum values are reached. It analyses data and categorises variables according to historic values.

Bega Valley Shire Council in New South Wales has announced a significant milestone in its journey towards 100% renewable energy by 2030 with the successful export of power from its newest solar energy site to the national grid.

Oversupply is hitting some solar manufacturers hard but grid constraints and labor shortages are unlikely to hold the solar industry back in 2024.

The panels measure 2,116 mm × 777 mm × 3.5 mm, weigh 5.6 kg, and have a temperature coefficient of -0.35% per degree Celsius.

Western Australian solar window company ClearVue Technologies has launched its commercial campaign in Australia with an order to provide its clear solar glass technology for a $12 million, six-storey building being built in Victorian state capital Melbourne.

A record 921 MW of PV was installed across Australian rooftops in the final quarter of 2023, taking new rooftop solar capacity to about 3.17 GW for all of last year, second only to the 3.23 GW total rolled out in 2021.
