SolarPower Europe has released two new technical due diligence reports for utility-scale hybrid solar PV and BESS projects.
Intertek CEA has acquired German PV inspection specialist Aerial PV Inspection GmbH (AePVI) to expand high-speed drone and ground-based quality assurance for utility-scale solar assets across Europe.
Statkraft and 3E analysed 64 utility-scale PV plants, representing 2.1GWp DC capacity, with datasets spanning six months to five years.
Scientists in Hungary found that ground-mounted PV modules at an intermediate elevation of 1.1 m achieve the highest efficiency and power output due to improved airflow and reduced cell temperature.
