On the vast, sunny plains of northern Australia, investors are planning to turn the sun into a giant power station for Singapore. A large array of solar panels would capture the sun’s energy and turn it into electricity, which would be transmitted via undersea cables. There are plans for other immense renewable energy complexes in Australia too, some using wind and solar energy to create hydrogen by splitti ...

Indonesia’s photovoltaic (PV) providers face a bleak business outlook at least in the next six months as the government and individual users cut back spending on anything deemed nonessential amid the pandemic, including solar panels. Demand for commercial PV panels was down up to 70 percent in the March-April period from a year earlier as businesses aborted installation plans and as, most critically, the go ...

Within a year, Clenergy has completed another large-scale solar park. The site was secure in May 2019, located in Juocho Takahara, Hitachi-shi, Ibaraki, Japan. The project was complex and in the end we chose to use the Clenergy PV-ezRack SolarTerrace II-A for this solar project, with our new type of rail PV-ezRack T-rail PRO 100, which is made of a stronger alloy as compared to its predecessor. ...

Ganzlin (DE) — With every safety and health care restrictions in place, workers are still showing up in Ganzlin, Germany and making progress on the Ganzlin Solar Farm, owned by Obton and being built by Clenergy Global Projects GmbH. In many other places across Europe, work has mostly come to a halt. This has had adverse implications on the construction and completion of several Solar PV projects. COVID-19 h ...

Sembcorp Industries, a Singapore-based renewable energy company, has launched a renewable energy certificate (REC) trading platform that manages RECs from multiple sources. RECs are tradable renewable assets that can be sold or traded, and the owner of the REC can claim to have purchased renewable energy.
