The latest edition of PV Tech Power – PV Tech Power 25 – is now available to download from the PV Tech Store.

Volume 25 of our downstream solar journal tackles a number of the most pressing topics in utility-scale solar development today and as always includes Storage & Smart Power, the section contributed to every edition by the team here at Energy-Storage.news.

Our cover feature explores why floating solar may not have fulfilled its potential. However, as you’ll read, obstacles to ‘floatovoltaics’ are rapidly being sidestepped, and the sub-sector looks primed and ready for a fruitful 2021.

Meanwhile, we also take a dedicated look at some of the new technologies and approaches that are finding latent capacity on grids across the world as renewables proliferation accelerates.
