Solar industry exhibitions this year experienced significant increases in the proportion of solar tracking systems. Due to limited land resources, the overall investment returns of solar tracking systems far exceeds that of fixed-type PV systems, which was reflected by the market's purchase orders. Savvy PV investors have been anticipating new and advanced products that they hope will bring about more efficiency, with emphasis on lowering costs, increasing generation capacity, reducing operation repairs and maintenance frequencies.
Boralex Inc. ("Boralex" or the "Corporation") announces the closing of its acquisition of a portfolio of wind power projects in Northern France totalling approximately 350 MW (the "Acquisition").
Turtle & Hughes, one of the largest independent electrical distributors in North America, announces a strategic partnership with Sunpreme Inc. to offer Bi-facial Solar PV Modules, the most technically innovative product available on the market.
Energy consumption can be one of the most critical cost factors in manufacturing, especially for processes requiring a continuous and intensive use of energy. IK4-IKERLAN, a Spanish technology centre based in the Basque Country, is busy engineering integrated tools for battery packs used in industry with innovative energy efficiency features. And what is more, these tools can be used to put in place control strategies aimed at releasing energy to the process when it is most needed, in step with price peaks on the market.
