How Japan became the world leader in floating solar power
Contact us. The biggest Japanese floating solar plant sits behind the Yamakura Dam at Ichihara in Chiba Prefecture. It covers 18 hectares, can power nearly 5,000 homes and is saving more than 8,000 tonnes of CO2 a year. Japan''s Yamakura plant is made up of almost 60,000 solar panels Image: World Bank. Tailor-made for Asia.
What''s agrivoltaic farming? Growing crops under solar panels
This article was updated on 28 October 2022. Agrivoltaic farming is the practice of growing crops underneath solar panels. Scientific studies show some crops thrive when grown in this way. Doubling up on land use in this way could help feed the world''s growing population while also providing sustainable energy.
Africa is leading the way in solar power potential
Investing in Africa''s renewables. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), Africa has 60% of the world''s best solar resources, but only 1% of solar generation capacity. To achieve its energy and climate goals, Africa needs $190 billion of investment a year between 2026 to 2030, with two-thirds of this going to clean energy, the
Follow the sun: how other renewables can emulate the solar
This article is part of: The Davos Agenda. • Solar power has pursued the sharpest possible innovation curve in order to drive down prices. • Wind, hydropower and other renewables must follow the same course – though the climate crisis makes it a matter of even greater urgency. • Material innovation and cumulative technology improvements
Morocco is building Ouarzazate Solar Power Station in Sahara
A further three phases of the Ouarzazate Solar Power Station project are expected to be up and running by the middle of 2018, Mustapha Bakkoury, head of the Moroccan Agency for Sustainable Energy, said in February. Morocco plans to generate 42% of its energy from renewables by 2020, rising to 52% by 2030, with solar, wind and hydropower each
Chernobyl solar farm sets foot on world''s worst nuclear disaster
Ukraine unveiled Chernobyl solar farm on Friday, just across from where a power station, now encased in a giant sarcophagus, caused the world''s worst nuclear disaster three decades ago. Built in a contaminated area, which remains largely uninhabitable and where visitors are accompanied by guides carrying radiation meters, 3,800 panels produce energy to
India can lead the world in solar-based growth. Here''s how
India is also particularly vulnerable to climate change. Solar power could be the answer to both problems. With 300 sunny days a year, India can lead the world in solar capacity. Doing so will require strong policy-making and foreign investment – but the rewards will be manifold. A quarter-century of growth has transformed the lives of
These solar panels benefit African farmers while tackling energy
Africa''s renewable energy potential is 1,000 greater than it''s projected electricity demand by 2040, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). By that date, the share of renewables in southern and eastern Africa could grow to 63%, up from a fifth in 2016. Africa has more than enough renewable energy potential to meet
These innovative solar farms prove renewable energy''s worth
In Canada, a solar farm is being built in a remote community above the Arctic Circle. And canals in India are being turned into solar farms to save land for living and farming. Solar power is now the cheapest source of electricity in history, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), while solar power generation grew 22% in 2019, making it the second
Why don''t solar panels work as well in heatwaves?
Solar cells – the electronic devices that convert sunlight into electricity that are connected together to build solar panels – produce solar power most efficiently within this range. But solar panels can get as hot as 65°C (149°F), EnergySage says.
