Hundreds of owners of photovoltaic systems blocked a major road to urge authorities to revise the methodology for determining balancing prices. They claim the recent changes would bankrupt them and affect consumers and the banks that finance their projects. Invoices for May showed that solar and wind power producers are suffering serious losses, threatening financial devastation across the sector. Local groups in the Pleven area and their peers from other parts of the country, briefly blocked the Rousse-Sofia road. Owners of photovoltaic systems are demanding the recent changes to the…

Solar panels will cost you thousands of dollars but can save you thousands more over your lifetime. However, if you get stuck with an overpriced system that’s underperforming, you’re going to save much less, if any. That’s why we put together these tips to avoid getting ripped off when buying solar panels — backed by expert advice. With the Inflation Reduction Act’s much-talked-about energy efficiency, electrification and solar incentives available, it might make sense to go solar now. Here’s what you need to know to be an informed consumer, find a solar installer and…

The launch comes amid growing interest in the global solar PV tracker market, as developers look to optimise their operations. Antaisolar had shipped 33.2GW of cumulative mounting capacity in 2023, and Yang was optimistic about this trend across the solar sector. “I’m quite positive about the rate of tracker deployment in solar power plants,” he told PV Tech. “I believe this increased trend will continue this year. There has been an obvious increase in tracker deployment globally, especially in the Americas, the Middle East, India and Central Asia. I’m also…

The implementation of new and improved renewable energy sources such as solar panels has become a success in the struggle to transition to environmentally friendly energy sources, however, there are still several drawbacks related to energy generation and storage. Now, you will see the invention that will disconnect your home from the grid. The solution to one of the major energy conflicts As many will know, solar panels and many other renewable energy sources sometimes produce a greater amount of electricity than is required in homes, which is then fed…

Ciel & Terre is responsible for designing the power plant, completing anchoring installation and assembling the floating solar platform at this project. It completed the anchoring installation process by using a hybrid anchor solution with a bank and bottom anchoring. Currently, the Ciel & Terre construction team has assembled more than 40% of the floating solar islands at the project. “In terms of design, we have an electrical configuration of 27 modules per string for all the reservoirs, which has enabled us to order and deliver string return cables already…
