Interesting to read the potential, pros and cons of floating solar explored.

Floating solar power booms in South-East Asia as land becomes scarce: The rise of “floatovoltaics" could reduce pressure to build large solar farms on land, but some researchers are concerned about the impact on aquatic ecosystems Solar power arrays that float on water are becoming increasingly common in South-East Asia as the land available for the rapid expansion of renewable energy grows scarce. This floating approach may also be an option in other places where solar power’s large footprint is an issue. https://lnkd.in/g6umzxME

Rise of the Phoenix | How PM surya ghar yojana will turbo charge the Rooftop solar sector The PM Surya Ghar yojana is the first bold attempt at some fresh thinking and policy making in de-centralized solar. Long neglected child of the "sun-rise" (pardon the pun) RE sector - rooftop solar has been a "child of a lesser god" for too long a time. Beset by lack of an economic case, financing challenges, lackadaisical attitude of Discoms and policy flip-flops -- the Indian rooftop sector has turned in only ~10GW of installed capacity today vs the goal of 40 GW by 2022. Powered by "Muft Bijli" and enhanced subsidy - the scheme brings new energy into the rooftop sector and promises to be a game-changer. It attempts to tackle all the problems above in one fell swoop: 1) Subsidised and low residential power tariffs in the country have been an obstacle to making an economic case for household to adopt solar rooftops. The scheme tackles that with a combination of enhanced subsidy ( CFA raised from 30% to 60%) and free power. 2) Poor financing is being tackled with the Banks coming out with low cost loans for the sector. These were badly needed. 3) The last hurdle viz., Discom attitude remains to be tested. While it is easy to criticize the scheme for the increased energy subsidy burden, the subsidy burden will be mitigated by lower ATC losses, lesser T&D capex coming from moving generation closer to consumption. These are too early and hard to quantify. Join me as I moderate this discussion with industry stalwarts Chetan Singh Solanki , Sarat Madala, Cecil Augustine and Swapnil Wakade to gain insights into the PM Surya Ghar yojana. Thanks for having me for the session REI & RenewX.

The UNE solar farm is nearing its fourth anniversary! Since being commissioned in November 2020, the solar farm’s 8700 fixed panels have: ☀️ generated 12+ gigawatt hours ☀️ avoided 8500+ tonnes of carbon ☀️ powered the equivalent of 1750+ households Find out more - including revenue generated and how students are using the solar farm - in our story via the comments. #FutureFitFor70Years

If you're in the energy storage, or the renewable energy generation industry, you would've come across Will Prowse's work. In the last year and a half, me and this guy had many dinner dates without him knowing. 😎📺 In this video, Will is talking about the Canadian Solar Inc. EP Cube. He run's through the entire system with some heavy elaboration as always and, as you can see, he shows my favorite feature that allows for AC and DC Coupled PV installations! 🤓 Residential Energy Storage has never looked this good! 😍 🌞⚡🔋🏘💡😎 #energystoragesystem #residentialsolar #batterytechnology #batteries #lifepo4battery #energyefficiency #energyinnovation #renewablepower #backuppower #sustainabilitygoals #energygeneration #renewableenergy #sustainablefuture #lifepo4 #solarenergy #solarpowersystem #energy https://lnkd.in/dFY8naZ6

No single energy source can solve every environmental challenge. Propane and renewable propane complement solar, wind, and other renewable energies to reduce emissions while providing reliable power.

As land becomes scarce, floating solar offers an alternative to traditional greenfield development. By installing solar panels on non-recreational water bodies, this solution maximizes space, boosts energy yield, and reduces costs. Hear from our recent webinar with floating solar experts, AccuSolar! Thomas Lang, MBA, answers one of the top questions on the size and scalability of floating solar projects.
