A 150-kW floating solar project has been commissioned in Armenian capital Yerevan.

Deutsche Bank led the financing for IGNIS to help develop its 500 MW solar portfolio in Spain.

Brandenburg wants to explore distributed generation applications such as floating PV, agrivoltaics and rooftop PV to achieve its targeted solar capacity under Energy Strategy.

Solar module prices have never fallen so sharply in such a short period of time. One reason for this is the “PV module glut” in warehouses in Europe, according to pvXchange’s Martin Schachinger.

Germany advanced its hydrogen ambitions this week with a fresh call for the International Green Hydrogen Promotion Program in Latin America.

German PV analyst Karl-Heinz Remmers looks at current price trends in the global and European PV industry. The figures he provides could explain how overcapacity and warehouses full of PV modules are affecting market prices.

Marathon Capital is looking for interested buyers for Redeux Energy’s 11-project solar and storage portfolio.

A team of researchers from Norway analyzed a case study of a cascade hydropower system hybridized with both floating and ground mounted PV under sub-Saharan African market conditions.

The Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE explores the best locations for Germany to import hydrogen and Power-to-X (PtX) products.

With more than 50 GW of module manufacturing announcements made in the United States, annual production capacity will exceed demand by 2025.
