Utility scale solar capacity addition in India during the first quarter of this year has been forecast to be equivalent to the entire capacity added in 2015. Research from Bridge To India indicates utility scale solar projects totaling up to 4.8 GW of capacity will be brought online during 2016, a jump of 140% over capacity commissioned in 2015.
Installing a sub-100 kW system on an unshaded warehouse roof might sound like a relatively straightforward proposition, as commercial solar projects go.
But this project – a 98.28 kW system installed by Queensland Commercial Solar (QCS) for a heavy equipment rental company – is a good illustration of how a few complicating factors can quickly ramp up the complexity of medium-sized solar developments.
Solar power played an important role in the discovery of a meteorite in South Australia’s outback that made headlines around the world.
At around 9:15 pm on November 27th, 2015, a lump of rock estimated to be 80kg entered Earth’s atmosphere, travelling at about 50,000km/hr. The visitor was around 4.5 billion years old, older than the Earth itself.
While most of these objects tend to vaporize or break up into very small fragments, a 1.6kg remnant survived the searing journey and embedded itself in the middle of Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre South in the state of South Australia.
The Anti-Dumping Commission’s (ADC) investigation into the alleged dumping of solar PV modules exported from China will continue in 2016, following a review of the decision to terminate the investigation.
The nearly 18-month-long investigation was terminated in October 2015, but the decision to terminate has been under review since November following an application from Tindo Manufacturing.
