Rooftop Photovoltaic Systems. New Parameters for the Performance Analysis From Monitored Data Based on IEC 61724

Optimizing photovoltaic systems in harsher climates

A recent report from the International Energy Agency (IEA) Photovoltaic Power Systems Programme (PVPS) covers guidance on improving the performance of PV systems deployed in climates such as deserts, tropical regions and snowy areas. Further research and field data is needed to support the installation of photovoltaic systems in parts of the world with more challenging climates, according to the latest report from the IEA-PVPS. The Task 13 repor…

South Africa’s Big Rooftops Could Power 6 Million Homes: How To Make It Happen - Stuff South Africa

South Africa has many factories, warehouses, schools and hospitals – big buildings with large rooftop spaces. In such a sunny country, these flat surfaces would be perfect for large photovoltaic solar systems that could generate enough renewable energy to supply themselves, and feed into the national grid. This would reduce the amount of coal that South Africa’s national electricity provider would need to burn. Renewable energy engineer and PhD …
