By installing 12,155 solar panels across all 38 hospitals in England, Wales, and Scotland, marking the largest investment of its kind by a UK independent healthcare provider. The first installation at Spire Murrayfield Hospital, Wirral, includes over 400 panels expected to generate 15% of the hospital's annual electricity needs and cut its carbon output by 35 tonnes. Jitesh Sodha, Spire Healthcare CFO, stated, "Environmental sustainability is a core component of our strategy and operations. With this investment we are reducing our carbon emissions and reducing our costs."

Dagupan Doctors Villaflor Memorial Hospital (#DDVMH) is taking proactive steps towards sustainability with a 15-year #agreement signed with EEI Power Corporation. The agreement entails the installation of a 145.2-kilowatt #solarrooftop grid-tied system at its annex, aligning with the #DepartmentofEnergy’s sustainability initiative. This move promises cost savings and contributes to a cleaner, greener future for the hospital while supporting the #GovernmentEnergyManagementProgram (GEMP). Phase I of the solar panel installation is scheduled to commence in February 2024, with completion expected by April 2024. #SustainabilityInitiative #SolarRooftop #CleanEnergy #EnergyEfficiency #GreenFuture #RenewableEnergy #HospitalSustainability #GovernmentEnergyManagementProgram #EEIPower #SolarPanelInstallation Read more: https://lnkd.in/dxYh-nN6

🏠☀️Australia has the highest per capita deployment of rooftop solar in the world. But underperforming panels - with issues such as tripping, zero generation and shading - are costing consumers an estimated $US4.6 billion globally in preventable losses. Now a NSW Smart Sensing Network Grand Challenge project has created game changing multi-stage algorithms which can remotely detect why many residential and commercial solar panels are underperforming. The software could replace the need for expensive contractors to go on site to find out why a PV system is underperforming. The project is a collaboration involving researchers from UNSW and the UTS Institute for Sustainable Futures; industry partners GSES Global Sustainable Energy Solutions and the APVI - Australian PV Institute; and government partners Lake Macquarie City Council, Lachlan Shire Council, City of Newcastle, Australia; City of Canada Bay and Bathurst Regional Council.

Exciting Innovation Alert! 🌞🌐 Longi, the leading Chinese solar manufacturer, unveils its groundbreaking "anti-dust" module designed for the Commercial and Industrial market in Australia. Introducing the Hi-MO X6 Guardian C&I module, showcased at Sydney’s Smart Energy Conference. What sets it apart? The frame ingeniously sits flush against the glass on the short side, enabling water to effortlessly wash off, preventing the accumulation of dusty residue along the edges. While featuring traditional framing on the longer sides, requiring vertical axis mounting, this module is a game-changer in combating dust-related efficiency challenges. BC technology, a shift Longi made for its entire Australian range in 2023, the Guardian module boasts enhanced panel efficiencies by minimizing shading losses. With a powerful maximum output of 590 W, this module is not only substantial in size (2,281 mm x 1,134 mm) but also remarkably light at 27.2 kg. But that's not all! Longi has plans to extend the self-cleaning frame concept to the residential sector, with a slated launch in the third or fourth quarter of this year. Anticipate a sleek and efficient module measuring approximately 1,722 mm x 1,134 mm. Cost-conscious? Longi brings you the Hi-MO X6 Guardian at approximately AUD 0.30 ($0.20)/watt. A remarkable advancement propelling us towards a cleaner and more efficient solar future! ☀️🔧 #solarinnovation #cleanenergyfuture #longisolar #renewabletech #sustainabilityleadership #antidustsolarpanels
