Indonesia to add 5.75GW rooftop solar PV between 2024 and 2028 – PV Tech
However, IESR said that the quota distribution had not been carried out based on the clustering/subsystems outlined in a previous document issued by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources of Indonesia. IESR executive director Fabby Tumiwa said allocating rooftop solar PV quotas at the power system subsystem cluster level would offer clarity for consumers and ensure investment certainty for rooftop solar PV businesses, adding that without a net-metering mechanism, rooftop solar PV installations will primarily serve commercial and industrial (C&I) customers. Additionally, IESR said the newly issued quota is…

Mankind is getting closer to the impossible project: placing this in space to produce energy – ECOticias
Humanity has just reached a historic milestone that calls into question everything we have achieved so far. When we had developed the most enormous photovoltaic parks ever seen (some of them, not in America), a new way of obtaining energy arrived. They will put this in space, and it will “absorb” the Sun as no other invention has ever done. Futuristic project to produce energy from space: NASA could change everything NASA is already on the verge of physically advancing space-based solar power, a technology that could reshape the world…
