As bifacial modules proliferate, estimations of albedo are becoming more important and with developers not prepared to install weather stations to assess solar resource, a popular option has become third-party, on-site measurements over periods as short as a day. Is this an acceptable compromise between costly on-site measuring and less accurate satellite data? Everoze’s Stefan Mau discusses the potential benefits and limitations of this approach.
Mining giant Fortescue Metals Group has begun commissioning its 100 MW solar farm at the North Star Junction south of Port Hedland in Western Australia, as the company progresses toward a target of real zero by 2030.
Multiple factors affect lifespan of a residential battery energy storage system. We examine the life of batteries in Part 3 of our series.
A new report published by the CSIRO says Australia’s research into solar recycling is second in the world, outside China, but suggests the establishment of mid-stream activities such as the production of metallurgical silicon and polysilicon have big potential.
The Northern Territory and Australian government have signed a landmark $250 million deal under the Rewiring the Nation fund to upgrade the Territory’s grid and rollout new transmission projects before 2030.
Multiple factors affect the productive lifespan of a residential solar inverter. In Part 2 of our series, we look at solar inverters.
Western Australia clean energy developer Frontier Energy has been granted $215 million in debt finance for its Waroona Renewable Energy Project south of Perth, from specialist infrastructure fund Infradebt.
Victorian transmission infrastructure operator VicGrid has identified over half the state as having potential to host future renewable energy developments, as outlined in its draft Victorian Transmission Plan guidelines.
The owner of a 360 MW solar farm and 600 MWh battery energy storage project being developed near Mortlake in southwest Victoria said it has received grid connection approval that paves the way for the next stage of development.
Multiple factors affect the productive lifespan of a residential solar panel. In the first part of this series, we look at the solar panels themselves.
