Croatian Center of Renewable Energy Sources (CCRES) promote 10 LARGEST SOLAR PV COMPANIES
Here are the top 10 producers of PV according to a report from Photon International, ranked by actual production. Total global shipments/installation of photovoltaic cells and modules was somewhere in the 7.5-8.5GW range with total production capacity exceeding 12.5GW.
The top 10 Solar PV manufacturers are:
1) 1100.0 MW First Solar
2) 704.0 MW Suntech
3) 595.0 MW Sharp
4) 586.0 MW Q-Cells
5) 525.3 MW Yingli
6) 520.0 MW JA Solar
7) 400.0 MW Kyocera
8) 399.0 MW Trina Solar
9) 397.0 MW SunPower
10) 368.0 MW Gintech
Thin films represented 16.8% of total global production, up from 12.5% .More info at http://solarserdar.blogspot.com/.

The role of wind and solar in electricity production will increase more rapidly compared to other renewable sources. The energy market transformation from an energy optimized to capacity-optimized system is expected when the share of intermittent or uncontrollable electricity becomes large enough. Bioenergy, in its various forms, can eventually contribute to balancing the electricity grid as an effective, low carbon and low cost grid management and energy storage option. Seasonality, i.e. energy demand fluctuations in the winter and summer seasons, is one of the key challenges for future smart energy system management, which will have various consequences for optimization in various parts of Europe and globally. This represents a clear synergy in seasonal balancing between photovoltaics and biomass, especially in connection to biomass CHP.

ReplyDeleteThe current coronavirus pandemic has, at least temporarily, made a significant impact on greenhouse gas emissions. But that reflects a stalled economy rather than smart energy consumption choices. The pandemic is a naturally occurring threat to humans, as were SARS and MERS before it. Global warming, by contrast, is being driven by human behavior; it is a self-inflicted crisis. We can best address the climate crisis by changing practices, by converting our global economy from fossil fuels to renewable sources, by using the force of our collective will to change our collective behavior and reduce the damage our actions inflict on the environment, which we rely on for our very survival. The stats that show we are moving in the right direction, albeit it too slowly, are a positive sign during these trying days. But they are also a further spur to action. We can see where decisions, policies and actions lead to positive effects, but also where continued self-destructive actions — beginning with burning coal — imperil us all.
