Although WBG semiconductors now cost more than silicon devices, they may eventually be competitive as manufacturing capabilities improve and market applications grow. Several challenges must be addressed to make WBG materials more cost-effective, including:

Western Power moved on last March to announce that it was expanding the program ten-fold, launching a tender for up to 60 SPS systems within the South West Interconnected Network (SWIS).

Unless you live near a mosquito-infested bayou, chances are that real estate prices have been climbing since the Big Fat Recession of 2008. That’s doubly (or more) true if you live in one of the most expensive cities of the world where residents have to choose between the cost of buying avocado toast for weekly brunch dates and paying rent on an apartment too small for IKEA furniture. In other words, there’s less and less real estate available to build traditional solar farms on terra firma. Floating solar farms are similar to land-based solar power systems except that they are deployed on pontoon-type floats, with an anchoring and mooring system holding the platform in place. In most cases, they are built on man-made reservoirs. There are variations, of course, but generally, they might look something like this:

When an elderly couple was found brutally murdered in their bed – stabbed 128 times — police faced the coldest killer they’d ever encountered … and he was just 15

An Arsenal ornament hangs from a Christmas tree branch in a nondescript lobby at Emirates Stadium in North London, lights glowing in its reflective surface. Even on the days when there are no matches at this 60,260-seat venue, the quiet lobby off Queensland Road keeps the electric cheer going strong.

This course will deliver a detailed understanding of how to size, configure, program and design both on-grid “solar hybrid” systems (solar panels plus battery storage) and off-grid stand-alone power systems. No prior knowledge is required though a basic understanding of solar PV systems is beneficial.

Fast track your knowledge and experience of battery storage and smart energy systems with an intensive and hands-on four day training course including a special focus on compliance to battery standards.

“A battery-enabled inverter, or battery-based inverter, is something that can do a lot more than just sell back power to the grid,” Brennan said. “It can store power, it can work off-grid, it can store power for time-of-use [rate structures].”
