DC-coupled solar-plus-storage is becoming increasingly common for front-of-meter applications and will likely come to dominate the residential market.

Working in close collaboration with its partner, SoliTek, ABB’s efficient REACT 2 solar storage solution, has been installed as part of an off-grid solar installation on the Craft Bearings multipurpose Service truck. The set-up is being used to harness enough solar energy during the day to support the service and ancillary team as they undertake essential repairs to the race cars at night, as well as supply power to the team’s bivouacs, media and IT center.

Standing in the dingy underside, it’s hard to imagine this lifeless array playing a grand role in saving the planet. Clark stands on the metal grate floor, designed to protect his pride and joy from the forces of nature.

The South African renewable energy industry rejoiced as the outstanding PPAs were finally signed on April 4.

The company behind the floating solar photovoltaics projects is Sungrow Power Supply, a 22-year-old Chinese company that specializes in alternative energy hardware and services. Sungrow (CH:300274) trades on the Shenzhen stock exchange and claims to be the largest solar photovoltaic inverter manufacturer in China, with a North American subsidiary in Ontario. The company recently pushed into Japan, which first created the market and is reportedly home to the most floating solar power plants, though most aren’t much bigger than a koi pond. Electronics and ceramics manufacturer Kyocera (JP:6971) is considered the leader in floating solar farm systems in Japan.

Solar Hybrid Inverter Market Report provides an analytical assessment of the prime challenges faced by this Market currently and in the coming years, which helps Market participants in understanding the problems they may face while operating in this Market over a longer period of time.

The reason Sol-Ark has so much peak power is it packs in twice as many components as its competitors. It is literally designed to survive a solar flare or EMP attack, which was the goal for these U.S. vets at the outset.

"The continuous network of MXene nanosheets not only provides sufficient electrical conductivity and free space for accommodating the volume change but also well resolves the mechanical instability of Si," they write. "Therefore, the combination of viscous MXene ink and high-capacity Si demonstrated here offers a powerful technique to construct advanced nanostructures with exceptional performance."
