IHS Warns of Potential Solar Wafer Supply Shortage in 1H 2016

11/03/15, 09:50 AM | Solar Power | Analysis and Trends

As a result of strong market demand and insufficient supply, wafer ASPs have slowly started to rise since June. This price increase is significant, considering the declining prices for polysilicon -- and costs of wafer production - this year.

Next Generation Inverters - HD-Wave Technology

10/29/15, 09:48 AM | Solar Power | Integrator, inverters | SolarEdge Technologies

With HD-Wave technology, SolarEdge initially creates a much smoother sine wave (a high-definition wave) thus avoiding the heavy and costly magnetic components while gaining efficiency.

Growth in Wind Consumption for Top 20 Countries

10/27/15, 09:37 AM | Solar Power | Analysis and Trends

The BNEF study shows that the global average levelised cost of electricity, or LCOE, for onshore wind nudged downwards from $85 per megawatt-hour in the first half of the year, to $83 in H2, while that for crystalline silicon PV solar fell from $129 to $122.
