There is a need to navigate the energy transition for sustainable growth in socio-economic aspects of the country. Though the energy consumption per GDP (Gross Domestic Product) is higher, production of valuable goods is quite low in the country which shows that there is a need to improve the end-use efficiency. …

Despite these consequences of the climate change Intersolar India opened the doors to a total attendance of more than 13,000 solar and energy storage experts, even 10% more than the expected visitor numbers…

Rapid deployment collapsible solar array for off-grid power. When sun shines, AC outlet is powered.

Solar energy has phenomenal growth in recent years due to both technological improvements, resulting in cost reductions, carbon emissions and government policies supportive of renewable energy development and utilization. This study analyzes the overview of solar power generation, solar photovoltaic, various types of photovoltaic systems and its components…

The award is part of the DOE’s Solar Forecasting 2 funding program to advance predictive modeling capabilities for solar generation for more accurate forecasts of solar generation levels.

This milestone was achieved with the company’s recent win of a 300 MW solar power project in the largest solar auction conducted by Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI).

A comprehensive study on harnessing wind energy and fluidics principle to enhance the cooling rate of solar modules.

This project has been set up by NTPC at an investment of approximately Rs 1500 crore mainly on non-agricultural land and generation of electricity have been achieved without affecting the natural eco-system with zero carbon emission.

Development of off-grid systems that are ‘Grid ready’ for rural and remote areas, and making by-laws for new buildings for grid connected as ‘Rooftop ready’ should be the suggested goals for the future. If these initiative works are executed as envisaged, it is only a matter before India becomes one of the world leaders in Solar Energy.

Bihar has about 280 - 300 sunny days in a year. There is negligible solar power development in the state at present. This article analyses the solar power potential in the state for the grid and off-grid projects…

Renewable energy is gaining huge importance among all forms of energy resources and is being given emphasis and thrust across the globe. Climate change due to global warming and the depletion of fossil fuel reserves are two major challenges being right now faced by the planet earth. Immediate cut down in the usage of fossil fuel resources and reduction on its dependency are the need of the hour to bring down the emission of green-house gases and to secure the energy for the future. Switching to renewable energy is a promising solution for the present crisis.

This article shows a study of environmental defects generally occur in solar panels with their visualization methods. Some open environmental defects are visible by naked eye can be identified by by visual inspection. The effect of shading is one of the important factor considered in the condition monitoring of solar panels. The shading of tree on solar panels increase the temperature of solar panel surface, which is not visible in the photographs captured by normal camera. Such heat effects can be detected by thermal imaging camera easily.

The Agro Solar project, conducted by Anand Krishi University, Gujarat in collaboration with Gujarat Industrial Power Company Limited (GIPCL), will produce 1 MW Solar PVC on 1.5 hectare area of Anand district.

Although the court has granted a provisional stay on the DGTR order imposing 25 per cent safeguard duty on solar panel imports, cloud of uncertainty still looms large over the stiff targets the government has set. By Subhajit Roy, Group Editor

Since solar energy has gained worldwide acceptance due to its feasibility, easy to install, and reliability, solar energy growth and EV growth have become interconnected. By Supriya A Oundhakar, Associate Editor

The contract that is signed between Hanergy Thin Film Power Group and FGS, a subsidiary company focused on solar power business under Forest Group, intends to bring to use and put together the expertise and the rich sectorial experiences of both companies to optimize Japan’s photovoltaic market.

It is recognition for solar power companies in India and has the highest repute amongst stakeholders and players in the industry.

With the rate contracts with all our major suppliers, we intend to increase our market share in the next few years, states Bharathiraja Kaliyamoorthy, Managing Director, GEESYS Technologies (India) Pvt. Ltd., in an interaction with Electrical India.

The development of rooftop solar projects makes considerable sense for commercial segments as the levelised tariffs are significantly lower than grid-based tariff. These segments are, therefore, driving growth in the rooftop solar space, followed by the government & institutional segments.

MYSUN has expanded its operations in Rajasthan with notable commissioning of two solar projects: a 104 kW project for a marbles and granite flooring provider; and a 397 kW project for a large polybag maker and with a pipeline of under development projects to more than 10MW.
