The German authorities say that around 40% of the 1.07 GW of solar capacity installed in February came from unsubsidized PV systems. The country’s cumumlative PV capacity reached 84.88 GW at the end of the month. March 22, 2024 Sandra Enkhardt Image: Viva Zhang, Unsplash From pv magazine Germany Germany’s Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur) said that developers installed 1,071.3 MW of new PV capacity in February. This compares to 746 MW in February 2023 and 1.42 GW in January of this year. In the first two months of 2024, developers…

Ever since the introduction of solar panels to the commercial market, costs have decreased significantly. Standalone solar power is widely regarded as a rather inexpensive and quick solution to provide electricity to rural health facilities in developing countries because the investments required are low compared to a grid connection. While solar photovoltaic (PV) systems have great advantages, they come with their own challenges, especially in rural settings without grid connection. Systems which are meant to continuously deliver electricity need a battery storage to ensure electricity during periods without sunlight or…

In rural Ghana, many health centres are either not connected to the electricity grid or face blackouts affecting their work. Solar photovoltaic systems are a climate-friendly way to provide much-needed energy. A German-Ghanaian research project has analysed key technical and socio-economic aspects. Solar photovoltaic (PV) hybrid systems provide electricity by harvesting the sun’s energy while having a battery or diesel generator as a backup. They can either be connected to the grid or serve as standalone systems. During the Covid-19 pandemic, such systems proved a good option to quickly electrify…
