l'Actualité du Solaire

At the moment, there is every reason to believe and hope that the photovoltaic market will return to normal, after the tensions over silicon, after the uncertainties over panel supplies, after the shocks over sea freight prices. Everyone is hoping for a return to normality, and the possibility of installing panels in sufficient quantities to meet demand. But the Chinese have not forgotten the signs at the entrances to the public parks: "No dogs and no Chinese". Their desire for revenge and their nationalism are ardent and constitute the cement around the Communist Party. They have been deeply angered by the willingness of the Americans to mind their own business in Xinjiang. They prepared their retaliation, that of being inescapable to obtain solar panels and to make them pay dearly. Very expensive! The world will pay.

Reminder: Enerplan's fourth university on self-consumption will take place on 21 and 22 September

Public concern about land use is growing. Large-scale solar projects are increasingly being built on water reservoirs, landfills, highways

Silicon production capacity is unable to keep up with the rapid expansion of PV capacity. It takes more than two years to complete the construction of a silicon production unit and then reach full operation.

The imbalance between supply and demand

The life of the panels depends on several factors: climate, type of panel and the racking system used, among others. Production loss over time, estimated at 0.5% per year,

The target of a 1.5% average global temperature rise will be dropped because there are not enough solar panels to go around, says

On the one hand, they cannot ignore the forced labour in the Xinjiang region of China. On the other hand, they have to source cells and PV panels

The inverter is a device that converts the direct current produced by the solar panels into usable alternating current. It can be a string or a microinverter. Micro-inverters

Dans leur étude, Schneider Electric et BloombergNEF incitent les pouvoirs publics à libérer l'énorme potentiel solaire des toits dans le monde.

Donnant un exemple en Californie,

In the^first quarter of 2021, Enedis had more than 100,000 customers connected for individual self-consumption, with a capacity of 546 MW. To these connections must be added

ADEME has sought to measure the environmental impact of photovoltaics. The carbon footprint of a panel depends on several factors

Gas prices are rising exponentially, not only in European markets, but also in America and Asia,

Entech is to be listed on the stock exchange. The company specialises in the storage and intelligent control of renewable energy.

The French senators and deputies have agreed on the provisions that will be incorporated into our national law from that of the European Union. One point concerns photovoltaics:

More is known about the US Department of Energy's (DoE) proposal to achieve 60 GW of installation per year by 2030, so that solar contributes to more than 40% of US electricity demand (see What target for solar installations should the US set for 2035?).
