Gerard Reid’s Post

Thanks to Gerard Reid for these amazing figures! 🌞 An average of more than 1GW a day of new #solarpv is being installed around the world, according to forecasts from Bloomberg New Energy Finance, with #china contributing at least half of that amount. 📈 It is great to see that developed economies - the main culprits to climate change - are taking solar energy seriously, especially China, the #US, #brazil , #india and #germany (let's not forget #italy !). 💡 On our end, let us ensure that #Africa as well can benefit from the solar revolution to provide clean, sustainable energy for all.

Impressive numbers, thanks Gerard Reid With more than 350GW new solar generation capacity deployed this year, the world demands more #Energystorage ITCs, PTCs and other policies should specificaly target #storagesystems to foster private investment, otherwise a massive amount of curtailement will be applied on the forthcoming years

Its great that Solar power is making so much headway at grid scale, but where #solarenergy really delivers for businesses and consumers alike is when you install it behind YOUR meter. Boxergy we are installing #solarpanels, the electricity from which will cost us 6.3p/kWh this will replace the grid energy we currently pay 41p/kWh for. Solar panels, you'd have to be daft not to install them.

Japan Solar Update: No.50 ( June 19~ 23, 2023)  <Japan PV module shipment volume in FY 2022> #pvmodule #solar #renewableenergy #jpea #ppa #nonfit #fit #japanshipment #pvcapacity #solarinstallation #shipmentvoume #rts The IEA PVPS Report puts global annual and cumulative installed capacity in 2022 at 240 GW and 1.27 TW, respectively. China ranked first in annual installed capacity at 106 GW, followed by the U.S. at 18.6 GW, India at 18.1 GW, and Japan at 6.5 GW. JPEA announced Japan’s shipments through FY2022 (Apr, 2022 ~ Mar, 2023). Since there is a time lag between shipments and installations, the two figures do not necessarily match, but trends such as trends by application can be grasped.    <Key points> - The Japan Photovoltaic Energy Association (JPEA) released the PV module shipment statistics in the quarter from January to March 2023, and the annual shipments in Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 (April 2022 to March 2023) were disclosed - Total module shipments in FY 2022 decreased by 0.5% year on year (YOY) to 5,106 MW, and domestic shipments also decreased by 0.3% YOY to 5,085 MW - By application, shipments for utility-scale applications remains on the decreasing trend, a drop of 12.8% YOY to 2,372 MW. Meanwhile, the shipments of commercial applications increased by 6.2% YOY to 1,460 MW and the residential applications increased by 24.8% YOY to 1,250 MW. - -- - -- Introduction of non-FIT PV systems through PPAs and support for residential PV systems and storage batteries by local governments are progressing - Domestic production and shipment of PV modules have continued to decline, and the ratio of imports reached 90% For more details, please visit RTS PV Blog: https://lnkd.in/g4VeT4d8

Industry Leaders Convene to Enhance Solar DC Cable Standards and Safety in Solar PV Systems In a collaborative effort to address challenges related to the adoption of the Solar DC Cable Standard, the International Copper Association India (ICA India) and the National Solar Energy Federation of India (NSEFI) organized a roundtable discussion in New Delhi. The focus was on the Quality Control Order (QCO) mandates for Solar DC Cables, emphasizing the importance of adherence to standards throughout the planning, design, and installation phases of Solar PV systems. Industry stakeholders, including manufacturers, installers, and regulatory bodies, participated in the roundtable, fostering collective advocacy and action. The discussions aimed to identify challenges experienced in the adoption of [&hellip;] Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/dHXg9Vp2 #solarenergy #alternativeenergy #solarpv #pvsolar #photovoltaic #cleanenergy #cleantech #climatechange #middleeast #africa #india #asiapacific #asia #cea #icaindia #india #mnre #nsefi #qco #solardccables #solarpvsystem

Germany, once a leader in solar energy production and adoption, had lost its position to China. True, it is hardly a news anymore. Although Germany led the solar industry back in 2000’s, it and all other countries lost to China’s gargantuan manufacturing enterprise by 2013. Chinese market share of the solar cell industry was about 3% in 2003 and by 2013, China accounted for 60% of global solar cell production. China’s indigenous manufacturing capacity has indeed helped the solar industry grow worldwide. However, now that developed and developing countries are betting big on solar, the focus is on solar innovation to reduce its space usage, increase efficiency, reduce cost. World is quickly leaning towards high quality products. https://shorturl.at/BMOZ1

[Publication] Recent regulatory shifts in Vietnam's rooftop solar industry have stirred attention and concern among stakeholders. With the expiration of feed-in tariff (FiT) prices for projects initiated after December 31, 2020, and pending decree awaiting government approval, the landscape for rooftop solar systems is undergoing transformation. In this article, Partner Minh Vu Thanh and Associate Hoang Nhat Le explore the implications of these changes, including the regulations influencing the selling of electricity, compulsory installation of backflow prevention devices, capacity approval processes, and the latest FiT pricing announcement by Vietnam Electricity (EVN) for 2024. These changes highlight how renewable energy policies change and affect investors in the potential solar energy industry in Vietnam.
