Nexans offers low-carbon PV cables
The French cable manufacturer unveiled new low-carbon products for large-scale PV projects.
Average U.S. residential solar project breaks even at 7.5 years, said EnergySage
A report from marketplace operator EnergySage noted that average system costs are declining, and payback periods are improving. It highlighted a recent market share capture from Tesla in the inverter and energy storage market.
Rotating, vertical floating PV system for offshore applications
An international group of scientists has designed a patented mooring tech and a vertical PV system that reportedly allows the bifacial solar panels to align with the prevailing wind direction to shed wind loads. Depending on a project’s latitude, the system can deliver different power yield.
Wattstone launches new concrete bases for rooftop PV
The German company said its new products are suitable for PV systems with tilt angles ranging from 0 to 15.6 degrees.
Gridparity launches modular solar carport
The German PV system provider said its new solar carport is an ideal solution for shopping centres, supermarkets or do-it-yourself stores. It was conceived to operate with either standard or semitransparent bifacial double-glass PV panels.
Power-generating breakwaters for floating photovoltaics
Scientists from Singapore have designed new floating breakwaters integrating wave energy converters that can be used to reduce the impact of waves on offshore PV systems. Their analysis showed that the wave energy systems can achieve the highest additional power output when the wavelength is shorter.
