French company HDF Energy has equipped its new polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) hydrogen fuel-cell production plant with a 500 kW solar project, by adjusting the PV modules and inverters to fit the sawtooth roof design. July 5, 2024 Francois Puthod From pv magazine France French hydrogen specialist HDF Energy recently commissioned a new factory in Blanquefort, western France, where it will produce high-power PEM hydrogen fuel cells for the maritime and rail heavy mobility sectors. To supply the building with renewable electricity and for the testing stage of its fuel cells,…

I was in the Panhandle recently visiting family. On the long drive between Pensacola and Jacksonville, I noticed something that made me pull off the interstate and investigate. Not far from the musical sign that marks the bridge over the Suwannee River, I encountered what looked to be a former farmer’s field. Now, it had sprouted a new crop: acre after acre of solar panels. Craig Pittman Maybe it’s because I’d been listening to classic rock on the car radio, but my first thought when I saw all those gleaming…

Technicians work on a solar panel at a power station about 25 km from Karachi June 18, 2010. — Reuters   In the intricate dance between policy formulation and economic stability, the narrative of local investors and consumers emerges as a poignant tale of uncertainty and disillusionment. The saga surrounding net metering and solar panel utilisation stands as a testament to the challenges faced by grassroots economic actors in navigating a landscape characterised by fluctuating policies and regulatory inconsistencies.  Beyond mere critique, this discourse embodies a call to action for policymakers…

Solek, a leading renewable energy company from the Czech Republic, has formed an alliance with Degraf, a major manager of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). Under this alliance, they plan to recover and reuse raw materials (aluminium, copper, etc.) found in photovoltaic (PV) solar panels. {alcircleadd} This year, they plan to dispatch 8.6 tonnes of photovoltaic modules for environmentally responsible recovery. This initiative aims to recover valuable equipment, parts, and materials such as aluminium and copper cables from these modules. “Given the increase in the generation of end-of-use photovoltaic…

Rio Tinto’s Diavik Diamond Mine has completed installation of its 3.5 megawatt capacity solar power plant in Canada’s Northwest Territories. The project represents the largest off-grid solar power plant across Canada’s territories. The 6,620-panel facility is expected to generate 4.2 million kilowatt-hours of solar energy annually, reducing diesel consumption at Diavik by one million litres per year and cutting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2,900 tonnes of CO2 equivalent. This is comparable to removing 630 cars from the road each year. The solar power plant will provide up to 25%…

The ambitious project aims to construct, operate, and maintain a solar power plant with a maximum net capacity of 172 MW, a gross capacity of 177.24 MW in alternating current, and a peak power of 230.4 MW in direct current. It will feature 354,480 photovoltaic panels, 30 inverters, and 17 battery storage…

default The installation of anchors is complete, the first panels and floats have been delivered, and the assembly of modules has begun for Europe’s largest floating solar power plant. Located on a 127-hectare site of former gravel pits owned by Établissements Blandin de Recy, the project is poised to transform the renewable energy landscape. With a capacity of 74.3 MW, including 2 MW on the ground, the installation spans 45.5 hectares within the limits set by the building permit, adhering to environmental studies to preserve biodiversity. The plant comprises six…
