Global solar installations almost double in 2023; China, US lead rest – Gulf Business
Image: Getty Images Global solar installations surged by 87 per cent in 2023, with 447GW (gigawatts) of new capacity added compared to 239GW in 2022, according to SolarPower Europe’s annual Global Market Outlook for Solar Power 2024-2028. This record growth brought the world’s total solar capacity to 1.6TW (terawatts). According to SolarPower Europe, last year’s new solar installations would cover more than half of India’s annual electricity needs or more than Brazil’s entire consumption. Compared to Europe, the annual installations would exceed the total yearly electricity consumption of Sweden, Netherlands,…

Types of Solar Panels in June 2024 – MarketWatch
There are three main types of solar panels: monocrystalline, polycrystalline and thin-film. Each type has different advantages and disadvantages. Monocrystalline Solar Panels Monocrystalline solar panels (or mono panels) are the most popular solar panels on the market. These panels offer the highest efficiency, with rates between 17% and 23%, according to the National Renewable Energy Labaratory. Mono panels work well in high temperatures, making them ideal for warm and hot environments. According to the American Solar Energy Society, they also have the longest life span, typically lasting 25 to 40…

Home Solar Systems In South Africa: More Will Be Installed If Households Are Given Loans, Free Maintenance – Stuff Magazines
South Africa is making efforts to increase the use of solar photovoltaic energy. But it’s happening at a very slow pace. Solar photovoltaic contributes less than 5% to the country’s energy mix, despite the sunny climate, which is very favourable for solar photovoltaic energy generation. So far, less than 10% of households have started using solar photovoltaic power regularly, though evidence suggests rapid uptake in the last few years with a 349% increase in rooftop solar PV capacity from 983MW in March 2022 to 4412MW in June 2023. South Africa urgently needs to change this.…
