Researchers from University of New South Wales have found that solar PV modules in tracker-based systems degrade significantly faster due to higher ultraviolet (UV) exposure compared to fixed-tilt installations. The study reveals that single-axis tracking (SAT) systems can receive up to 1.5 times more UV radiation, particularly in high-irradiance regions such as deserts. This leads […]
Vietnam plans to develop two renewable energy industry and service hubs by 2030 as part of its revised implementation strategy under the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP). The updated roadmap targets renewable energy accounting for about 47% of Vietnam’s total installed power capacity by 2030, while emissions from the power sector are expected to be […]
