There is some serious potential for floating solar in man-made reservoirs in China. 860 GW of electrical capacity plus 5.8 km³ of water evaporation avoided. However, the US, the world‘s largest floating solar potential market) has more than double China’s potential floating solar capacityaccording to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory! 2,116 GW assuming 27% of reservoir areas are covered with floating solar. https://lnkd.in/gu38bFNP TPV by the way stands for terrestrial PV. #FloatingSolar #SolarEnergy

#Central and #Eastern #Europe increasingly in the solar gigawatt class. #Photovoltaics is picking up speed in Central and Eastern Europe. #Poland is leading the way, but other markets such as #Bulgaria, #Romania and the #Czech #Republic are also developing dynamically. One challenge is the modernization and expansion of the grids. Photo: © Photon Energy #pv #solarenergy #photovoltaics #solar SolarPower Europe https://lnkd.in/e9EXTWhQ

"BloombergNEF’s (BNEF) 1Q 2024 Global PV Market Outlook estimates that China will continue to dominate the installed capacity in 2024 (313.7GWdc), accounting for 54.7% of global solar PV capacity additions this year. China will be followed by the US (40.6GWdc), India (18.1GWdc), Brazil (17GWdc) and Germany (16.5GWdc)" #pvsolar

🌟 Exciting Developments in the Chinese Solar Market! 🌟 Over the past two years, we've seen rapid growth in China's solar demand. While high PV module prices in 2022 slowed utility scale projects, small-scale DG projects thrived, making up 60% of the market. With eased supply chain issues in 2023, utility scale projects bounced back, taking 55% of the market in Q4. As we look to 2024, demand is set to reach 245-255 GW, despite some provincial grid connection caps and market uncertainties. Ground-mounted projects and commercial solar segments are driving the market, while new polysilicon and wafer production capacities are ramping up. With intense competition and falling prices, the industry is navigating through high inventory levels and modest demand growth.

China's remarkable growth in solar power is hitting a new hurdle: grid constraints. As the world's leader in renewable energy industry, China's ambition to reduce its carbon footprint is impressive, but this growth brings its own set of challenges. At NEFIN, our ­approach involves bundling battery storage with solar installations to address grid limitations, ensuring that excess energy is stored and used effectively.

Large Wind & Solar Bases To Boost Chinese Installations, Says CPIA As It Revises Annual Forecast Yet Again https://lnkd.in/eXHKzpRg * CPIA has revised its 2023 solar PV installation forecast yet again, now expecting 345 GW AC to 390 GW AC of new capacity * China will expand by up to 180 GW AC of the global total, fueled by large wind and solar energy bases expected to come online by 2023-end * As large markets like the US and India follow protectionist policies, China is exploring other markets #2023PVForecast #Asia #China #ChinaPhotovoltaicIndustryAssociationCPIA #markets

That’s fine. Great! Thx for sharing. So we’re all fine then? We don’t have to worry about climate change any more because global solar additions could reach 520-655 GW in 2024? That sounds really impressive. Bring it on! Let the Lean Mean Renewables Machine set us free. Praise be! Now, please, so you understand me, I’m all up with that. I also want the renewables revolution to kick in and solve all our existential problems. But something just doesn’t add up. The techno-optimists are at it for over two decades now, shouting from the rooftops that ‘clean energy is going to safe us, Hallelujah!’ But when are these positive, developments going to bring the global warming KPI’s down? Average global surface temperature, global atmospheric CO2-level, Earth’s energy imbalance and global ocean acidity: all up and accelerating off the charts. What the heck is going on here? I believe the techno-optimists have some explaining to do. See: 1 — Are you a techno-optimist? Oh yeah? Do you also still believe in fairy tales? https://lnkd.in/ed_FGiqD 2 — If you are a techno-optimist, I would like to rattle your cage https://lnkd.in/ejfCnERc 3 — Holding the techno-optimists to account (amendment) https://lnkd.in/efXkyTz3 See also: 4 — We should stop talking about the year 2100 | On the difference between linear and accelerated decline https://lnkd.in/e6zqV2_3 5 — How long can we keep accelerating until it blows? https://lnkd.in/epswWK6S 6 — Why doesn’t accelerated growth or decline scare us? https://lnkd.in/eTYFstbU 7 — Even when our civilization breaks down, there’s still a lot we can do https://lnkd.in/eTQd8dYu 8 — What would happen if we all had an epiphany about climate change? https://lnkd.in/eE3W3Ft5 9 — Where do you stand on the scale between climate change denialism and doomerism? https://lnkd.in/eDrcK_WS 10 — Our civilization has a lifespan of only ten days https://lnkd.in/e6U3Fp6J 11 — The five stages of accelerated global warming grief https://lnkd.in/eBhRppZA 12 — The fragmentation problem: why there are no solutions to our global problems https://lnkd.in/e5hsvTSc

New era for PV dawning in #EasternEurope. Eastern Europe is one of the new #solarmarket champions. The organizers of Intersolar Europe 2024 are expecting a large number of visitors from this region. According to the European industry association SolarPower Europe, #Poland has been one of the top ten leading countries in Europe in terms of PV deployment since 2016. #Hungary has joined the list after adding 1.6 gigawatts (GW) of PV capacity in 2023, a 45 percent increase over the previous year. This was the country’s most successful solar year ever. #pv #solarenergy #photovoltaics #solar https://lnkd.in/eiazuYsr

We are impressed by the dual-tower solar thermal plant in Gansu, China, featured in the New Atlas article. This innovative approach to solar energy generation highlights the potential for large-scale solar thermal projects to provide stable, renewable power. By harnessing solar energy through advanced thermal storage, this plant exemplifies a significant step toward energy security and sustainability. How do you think solar thermal technology will integrate with other renewable energy sources in the future? Let's talk about it in the comments section. #SolarThermal #RenewableEnergy #SustainableTechnology #EnergyInnovation #GreenEnergy https://lnkd.in/gpkrUdBN
