| Latest FERC Report Shows Solar Off to Strong Start In 2024  A review by the SUN DAY Campaign of data recently released by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission confirms that 2024 has begun with strong growth by solar in both capacity additions and electrical generation. This is projected to continue for at least the next 2-3 years. |  Schletter Supplies 130 MWp Project in Dominican Republic Schletter Group will be supplying the mounting systems for a major 130 MWp ground-mounted project being developed by SEMI. This brings the total peak megawattage of clean power being produced on Schletter systems across the Caribbean to over 700. Factors such as the corrosion-promoting marine environment and seasonal hurricanes mean that mounting systems in the region need to be particularly robust. |  Bureau Veritas Awards Prototype Certification for SolarDuck's Floating Offshore Solar Solution Bureau Veritas, a testing, inspection, and certification company, has awarded SolarDuck the world’s first Prototype Certification for a floating offshore solar technology, as applied in SolarDuck’s 0.5 MW pilot "Merganser". This represents a significant step forward in the development of marine renewable energy technologies for offshore applications. | PV | Survey finds wildlife thriving on solar farms  Among the most commonly seen wildlife on solar farms in the UK are hares and skylarks, with bird species including yellowhammer, linnet, starling, spotted flycatcher, corn bunting and nightingale, according to a survey conducted by ecological consultancies Clarkson & Woods and Wychwood Biodiversity last year. | New Solar Projects Approved for Dominion Energy Virginia MNRE Restores ALMM, Catalyzing Efficiency in PV Module Procurement Europe’s leading solar marketplace Otovo launches UK solar subscription with first sale Bluebird Solar: Illuminating India's Future with Solar Panels Primergy signs 400 MW solar + 1.6 GWh battery energy storage PPA with San Diego Community Power DNV helps Moss Maritime to reduce floating solar design risks Solar Thermal Electric | World's Largest Solar Tower CSP Project Started Construction  Recently, Northwest Engineering Corporation Limited announced that the 200MW solar tower CSP project officially started construction in Delingha. It is being undertaken by POWERCHINA NORTHWEST as EPC contractor with investment from CGN New Energy. | Interviews | Solar For All: An interview with Mel Bergsneider of Allume Energy  In 2023, Allume Energy announced the successful commissioning of its Solshare technology in a residential building owned and operated by Belhaven Residential in Jackson, Mississippi, aiming to help advance solar energy in a currently underserved market. Solshare enables the sharing of rooftop solar across multiple apartments in the same building, without the need to adjust the existing electricity supply, with potential savings on electricity bills of up to 40 percent. REM had a quick chat with Allume Energy Executive Accounts Manager Mel Bergsneider to find out a bit more about what’s going on with solar in Mississippi. | Panorama | Asunim Inks 40mwp Solar Hybrid Project For Wind Farm In Turkey  ASUNIM, a solar EPC company, signed a contract with Akfen Renewable Energy affiliate Derbent Enerji for the 40MWp Hybrid Solar Power Project. ASUNIM will build a solar power plant with a power of 40MWp as an auxiliary source to the Üçpınar Wind Power Plant, which has an installed power of 112.2 MWm/99 MWe, owned by Akfen Renewable Energy. | Extreme Temperatures Hold Untapped Potential for Solar and Wind Energy Storage New Report Shows More than 10GW of Storage was Deployed in 2023 Scientists discover new materials for high-performance solid-state lithium ion batteries Agenda Renewable Energy Grid Integration Week 2024 ACP RECHARGE: Energy Storage Summit |
