Leading solar cell and module manufacturer Solarspace has onboarded Krishan Sharma as the Vice President (VP) to lead its Asia pacific solar business. Sharma was previously at Renesola India. For Solarspace, India is a key market, as it remains one of the largest suppliers of solar cells for module manufacturers in the country. Sharma, with his extensive experience of over 15 years in the solar space, should have no trouble diving in, thanks to his deep connections with the solar sector. An Engineering graduate with an MBA from IMT Ghaziabad & EPLM from IIM Calcutta, His forte in his previous…

In a possible move to keep up the momentum of Solar capacity build out in the US, President Joe Biden is likely to use his executive authority vested in the Presidency to allow for a two year waiver for imports from South East Asia. This follows the exemptions given to Bifacial module imports earlier, which should really take out the last remaining issue for solar developers in the country. The move, if and when it is taken, will mark a significant win for US solar developers and installers, who have been baying for a stop to the current investigation into…
The widely expected announcement follows immense pressure to find a way out to protect projects already underway as well as those planned. The odds that US manufacturing will be able to fill the gap in the next two years remain low, considering the competitive gap between costs with Asia based manufacturers. The White House said on Monday(06/06/2022) that tariffs on solar panel imports from four Southeast Asian countries would be suspended for two years as part of measures to address “the urgent challenge of a changing climate” — but left China out of the deal. SaurEnergy had reported on the…

Australia’s most ambitious trans continental project, the AAPL (Australia-Asia Power Link) project from Sun Cable has reached yet another milestone with categorisation as an investment ready project by the government agency Infrastructure Australia.. The David Griffin led firm has also been backed by Mike Cannon-Brookes’ Grok Ventures and Andrew Forrest’s Squadron Energy, together with a range of private investors. The project plans 17–20GWp of solar arrays and 36–42GWh of energy storage that will be connected to Singapore by an over 4000 k.m long HVDC sub sea cables to eventually provide the island nation with close to 15% of its power…
Of the top ten economies powered by solar power, 5 are from Asia. This is a major breakthrough given that a decade ago, only two Asian countries were on the list, while European countries dominated the solar rankings. The Asian countries on the list have witnessed a decade of steady growth, accelerating its solar capacity. The list has been released by electricity think tank Ember, which has provided an analysis of how total solar power capacity has transformed over the last decade in countries worldwide. China- The Unprecedented Leader The analysis has revealed that countries such as China, India, Vietnam…
The industry has seen an increase in interest from investors as a result of the possibility of West Asian and North African nations becoming major providers of green hydrogen. The area is expected to be the leading provider of green hydrogen globally, accounting for the majority of export-oriented low-carbon hydrogen projects, according to an internal assessment by Abu Dhabi’s Clean Energy Business Council (CEBC). A leading energy company in India, Jakson Group has shared that it will set up green hydrogen projects across Asia and Africa. The Chairman and Managing Director, Jakson Group, Sameer Gupta revealed, “The company intends to…
As per US electricity think tank Ember, solar power is expected to experience exponential growth across five of Asia’s biggest economies, positioning the region to become a global hub of solar power. Ember made the revelation after an analysis of existing national power sector development plans across China, Japan, Indonesia, India and the Philippines. Findings of the Analysis The analysis finds that solar capacity will grow significantly across the region, with an average of 22% growth each year across the five economies, with the fastest growth rates expected in Indonesia and the Philippines. China, currently, has a goal to install…
Asia Brewery Inc., a diversified beverage company based in the Philippines, has given TotalEnergies ENEOS a contract for a 13.8 MWp solar photovoltaic (PV) system on one of its manufacturing plants in the country.
