  • Israel: Plans To Add 100000 Rooftop Solar Systems By 2030 Israel: Plans To Add 100000 Rooftop Solar Systems By 2030
    Feb 27, 2025
    The Israeli Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure recently announced a new goal of adding 100,000 rooftop solar systems across the country by 2030. The plan is part of the "Solar Roofs" project, which aims to encourage more residents to adopt solar energy and improve the country's energy independence and resilience.   Will promote 1.6GW of rooftop photovoltaic installations, and the system investment will pay back within 5 years   The plan is expected to deploy 1.6GW of solar installed capacity, covering 15% of residential roofs nationwide, and help Israel achieve its overall goal of 30% renewable energy in the power structure by 2030. In addition, the plan will promote the transformation of rooftop photovoltaic system users from simple electricity users to "prosumers", who can not only achieve self-generation and self-use of electricity but also sell excess electricity to the national grid.   The Israeli government will introduce a new electricity price tax rate policy to shorten the payback period for residents' investment in photovoltaics to 5 years. Under the plan, households that install rooftop photovoltaics are expected to achieve a stable rate of return of more than 14% in 25 years.   Taking a 15kW residential rooftop photovoltaic system as an example, it can bring users about 13,000 Israeli New Shekels (NIS) in revenue each year, while a 30kW system can bring annual revenue of up to 25,000 NIS. In addition, if residential buildings are equipped with energy storage systems, they can not only increase revenue but also ensure power supply in emergencies and improve energy security.   National platform promotes promotion, AI supports revenue assessment   To ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure will establish a national renewable energy portal and set up an implementation center to provide residents with installation guides. In addition, the government is studying subsidized loans for housing committees and promoting photovoltaic installation loans for public housing buildings.   Recently, the Israeli Ministry of Energy, in cooperation with the National Center for Surveying and Mapping, launched an artificial intelligence (AI)--based rooftop solar potential assessment tool. The tool can help residents and governments estimate the solar power generation potential and electricity sales revenue of rooftops and is applicable to different land uses in public and private spaces.   Israeli Energy Minister Eli Cohen said that the "100,000 Solar Roofs" plan is a historic initiative we have brought to Israeli citizens, and it will trigger a revolution in the energy market. Installing solar panels not only brings additional economic benefits to homeowners, but also provides electricity in emergency situations, improves the country's energy security, and produces pollution-free clean electricity to benefit citizens' health.   Currently, Israel's annual install...

  • Italy: 6.79GW Of New Photovoltaic Installations In 2024 Italy: 6.79GW Of New Photovoltaic Installations In 2024
    Feb 25, 2025
    Recently, the Italian Solar Photovoltaic Association Italia Solare said that the Italian solar photovoltaic market grew by 30% year-on-year in 2024, with a new installed capacity of 6.79GW. Italy has a cumulative installed capacity of 37.08GW, and nearly 1.9GW of new installed capacity in the fourth quarter of last year.   The total number of photovoltaic systems currently online in Italy is 1,878,780, but by 2024, their number will decrease by 25%, with new installations reaching 283,914.   The largest contributor to new projects last year was the utility-scale segment, including power projects with a capacity of 1MW or more. It increased by 163% year-on-year, an increase of 3.045GW. Most projects were connected to the grid during the second half of 2024.   The annual growth rate of solar system capacity between 20kW and 1MW in the commercial and industrial (C&I) sector was 8%, with a total capacity of 1.96GW.   Finally, the residential segment of systems smaller than 20kW fell 21% year-on-year to 1.78GW, which the association attributes to the end of the country’s Superbonus program.   Paolo Rocco Visconti, president of Italia Solare, said: “Italian PV is going through a steady growth phase, with a growing role for large systems. However, the decline in residential installations is a signal that should not be underestimated: targeted measures are needed to support households in their energy transition.   Regarding cumulative installed capacity by geographical distribution, Lombardy leads with 4.99GW, driven mainly by C&I systems with a power of between 200kW and 1MW. Veneto follows with 3.76GW and Puglia with 3.63GW. Large-scale solar power plants abound in the Lazio region, with 1.28 GW of new installed capacity in 2024, a 300% year-on-year increase.   Despite obvious challenges, the association believes that the market continues to progress. The report recommends that the government promote self-use in the residential and commercial sectors, speed up the licensing process for new projects, and improve network management to avoid bottlenecks for large power plants.

  • Construction Of A Photovoltaic Module Steel Frame Factory In The United States Construction Of A Photovoltaic Module Steel Frame Factory In The United States
    Feb 20, 2025
    Solar frame producer Origami Solar has started commercial operations at its Arkansas, U.S. plant following the announcement by U.S. President Donald Trump of a 25% tariff on imported steel and aluminum.   The White House’s recent 25% tariff on imported steel and aluminum falls under Section 232, which will take effect on March 12, 2025, and it could affect the solar industry as steel is primarily used for ground-mounted installations given its robustness and corrosion resistance. Aluminum, on the other hand, is a more cost-effective solution for mounting structures and frames.   At this time, Origami commissioned the first of many state-of-the-art automated module frame production lines at its Priefert Steel plant in Benton, Arkansas. It developed the plant in collaboration with Priefert Steel and automation partner DAC Robotics.   Gregg Patterson, CEO of Origami Solar, said: "Providing cost-effective steel module frames leverages the strong and ready American steel manufacturing industry, creates jobs, and enhances the security and reliability of the solar supply chain.   It claims that steel module frames have superior strength, a 90% lower carbon footprint, and fast domestic shipping in 1-2 days, eliminating the risks associated with weaker imported aluminum frames and riskier overseas supply chains that are subject to delays, geopolitical instability and tariffs.   From corner insertion to frame stacking, bundling and palletizing, the factory is highly automated because DAC's robotic automation simplifies the production process; it also integrates online final assembly and packaging, ensuring precision and eliminating waste.   It is reported that in August 2022, TECSI Solar tested Origami's steel frames and found that these steel frames are superior to aluminum frames in both stiffness and stability.

  • Spain's New Photovoltaic Installations Have Declined For Two Consecutive Years! Spain's New Photovoltaic Installations Have Declined For Two Consecutive Years!
    Feb 18, 2025
    According to the 2024 "Self-generated and Self-used Photovoltaic Annual Report" of the Spanish Renewable Energy Enterprises Association (APPA Renovables), Spain's new self-generated and self-used photovoltaic installations in 2024 will be 1.431GW, a year-on-year decrease of 26.3%, and the cumulative installed capacity in this field will reach 8.58GW. In 2023, Spain's self-generated and self-used photovoltaics will increase by 1.94GW, while the increase in 2022 will be as high as 2.65GW, meaning the market has declined for two consecutive years.   In 2024, the new self-generated and self-used photovoltaic installations will mainly come from the industrial and commercial sectors, contributing 1.08 GW, while the residential sector will add 346 MW. By the end of 2024, the cumulative installed capacity of industrial and commercial photovoltaics will reach 6.3 GW, and the cumulative installed capacity of residential photovoltaics will reach 2.28 GW.   From a regional perspective, Catalonia is the region with the most self-generated PV installed, with a total of 1.52GW; followed by Andalusia with 1.44GW and the Valencian Community with 1.2GW.   In addition, the country will add 155MWh of battery storage capacity in 2024.   Jon Macías, president of the Spanish Association of Renewable Energy Companies, believes that the main reasons for the decline include the end of the EU Next Generation program incentives and the decline in electricity prices after the energy crisis in recent years - although the cost of photovoltaic technology has fallen to a historic low.   The association warned that if this trend continues, Spain may not be able to achieve its 2030 self-generated PV installed capacity target of 19GW. The association called on the government to take measures, including simplifying administrative procedures, improving grid connection convenience, and providing at least 25% corporate or personal income tax exemptions to stimulate market growth.   According to the APPA Renovables report, to achieve the 2030 target, Spain needs to add 1.7 GW of self-generated PV installed capacity each year in the future.

  • European Renewables May Not Meet 2050 Targets European Renewables May Not Meet 2050 Targets
    Jan 14, 2025
    Renewable energy (RES) installed capacity in Europe is expected to triple, but will not reach the 2050 target given the challenges facing the market, according to leading research firm Aurora. The European Union has set a goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, which requires renewable energy to generate more than 60% of total electricity generation.In its industry report, Aurora mentions that although installed renewable energy capacity in Europe has grown to nearly 530 GW over the past decade and is expected to more than triple by 2050, Europe will struggle to reach its target, given the ongoing challenges in the energy markets .   The research institute emphasized that negative tariffs and market saturation are the two main barriers to renewable energy growth. Negative tariffs are least prevalent in Central Europe and most frequent in the Nordic region, while grid congestion is also one of the main bottlenecks to renewable energy expansion, Aurora claimed. Remedies in Europe have increased by nearly 15% year-on-year and are expected to reach around 57 TWh by 2023, with Germany, Poland, the UK and Ireland seeing the largest energy cuts.   Aurora urged European countries to increase battery storage capacity and build a more diverse renewable energy portfolio for a more efficient energy transition. In addition, it suggests generating additional revenues through capacity markets, ancillary services markets and balancing markets.   Wind Europe recently voiced its concern that the EU's failure to build enough wind farms in the last year will jeopardize the process of achieving its target of 425GW of installed wind capacity by 2030.
