KWP Energia Solar CEO Explores Growth Potential and Environmental Benefits of Floating Solar Plants in Brazil In a recent statement, Ediléu Cardoso Jr., CEO of KWP Energia, discussed the growing competitiveness of floating solar plant technology compared to ground-mounted installations with fixed structures. KWP Energia is among the companies involved in installing the UFF Araucária, a 7 MWp floating solar plant located in the Billings dam, São Paulo. Despite the global perception of floating solar as a solution for land-scarce regions, Cardoso Jr. emphasized its relevance in Brazil, particularly in metropolitan areas where reservoirs serve as potential sites for solar generation close to energy consumption centers. The Billings dam, covering 10,500 hectares in São Paulo, presents […] Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/dYvSBtKG #solarenergy #alternativeenergy #solarpv #pvsolar #photovoltaic #cleanenergy #cleantech #climatechange #middleeast #africa #india #asiapacific #asia #america #brazil #floatingsolarplants #kwpenergia #latinamerica #renewableenergy #solarenergy #southamerica

Floating solar is already a well-established market in the south of Europe owing to plenty of sunshine that the area receives. Many of these countries, in fact, have supportive policy instruments for floating solar. Taking lessons from the south, the northern nations are also now witnessing large uptake as they have abundant water bodies. Offshore solar is also expected to become a big market in the coming years in the continent with some policy developments already underway. This article is based on the key takeaways from the recent Floating Solar in Europe Conference organised by us at Amsterdam, to highlight growth trends, opportunities, technologies, design considerations, O&M issues, investment landscape, challenges, and outlook for the floating solar sector in Europe.

Bigger #solarfarms signal faith in #PVenergy despite challenges. Solar farms in the #UK are getting bigger, research shows, as developers and investors look to maximise returns through economies of scale. Peter Curtain, Director of Allerton Communications, shares his insights. We’ve already looked at how solar PV is poised to enable many more homes and businesses to generate their own clean, green electricity from the sun. Now we ask, what’s in store for ground-mounted solar in the UK? A study by Corrie Energy Partners reviewed a sample of 1,809 consented ground-mounted projects in the UK, showing a strong recovery in the market from a low in 2017. According to Jo Fleming of the consultancy, which advises clients on implementing low-carbon, sustainable energy projects, this has coincided with a clear increase in the average project size over the same period. #pv #solarenergy #photovoltaics https://lnkd.in/ewap-WmW

I’m thrilled to announce Tindo Solar's initiative to establish a state-of-the-art solar panel gigafactory right here in Australia. Our vision is to commence production by mid-2025, and manufacturing 7,000 panels per day at full capacity. This move goes beyond mere manufacturing; it's a commitment to bolstering Australia's domestic sovereignty and affirming our energy independence. Tindo Solar envisions playing a pivotal role in meeting the considerable demand, contributing to the estimated 22,000 PV panels expected to be installed daily to achieve our decarbonisation targets. It is critical Australia moves quickly and ensures we enjoy the benefits of the energy transition by creating hundreds of jobs and a domestic renewables manufacturing industry. As we embark on this exciting journey, we envision not only expanding our manufacturing capacity but also contributing to the growth of a robust and sustainable solar industry within the country. #DomesticSovereignty #Decarbonisation2030 #RenewableEnergy #SolarRevolution Link: https://lnkd.in/gwUEpxAf

Presently working as Regional Media Advisor (North India) with Bureau of Energy Efficiency, Ministry of Power, Govt of India
2wIn my opinion this scheme is excellent and has great potential for success.All Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) should be targeted first, as houses in urban areas are metered. Subsequently, rural areas can be addressed.Regarding AT&C losses, a regulation notified by the Ministry of Power, Government of India, in October 2021 mandates energy auditing and accounting. This regulation requires DISCOMs to install energy meters within a defined timeframe and reduce energy losses by improving distribution networks. Since DISCOMs are also designated consumers under the PAT scheme, they have targets to reduce AT&C losses. Therefore, they are obligated to reduce these losses independently. However, consumers without energy meters may be reluctant to install solar rooftops. Another major challenge in rural areas is the availability of electricity in the grid during daytime hours.AMC will not be an issue in this scheme. The empaneled vendors will install the systems and handle maintenance with the support of existing Surya Mitra. After the guarantee period, a maintenance mechanism will be developed for ongoing maintenance. With substantial subsidies from the Government of India and several states, individual systems will function effectively.
