The large-scale solar market is getting bigger and bigger. The Top 5 on the 2024 Top Solar Contractors List each installed more than 2 GW last year. Here are a few of the projects making up the big numbers on this year''s list.
The rise of large-scale solar farms marks a significant shift in energy production. As we tackle climate change and seek alternatives to fossil fuels, solar energy stands out as a key solution. Incentives such as tax
The Large Scale Solar Summit Europe returns for its 13th year in 2025. Always senior and packed with the industry''s leading IPPs and developers, this will be the meeting place for decision-makers in the European solar industry. Independent power producer (IPP) Aquila Clean Energy has connected 210MW of solar PV across five projects in Spain
Malaysia''s solar photovoltaic (PV) plant projects under the large scale solar (LSS) scheme returned to recording progress in the second quarter of 2023 (2Q2023), after a stagnant period due to contract revisions amid panel price shocks last year.
The project will study ten large-scale projects in four different regions of the country. Princeton University was awarded $2 million for a project in which researchers will assess the potential for Community Benefit Agreements. These legal agreements between community groups and large-scale solar developers can deliver tangible benefits to

In partnership with solar Uncommon Dialogue working groups, the project team will identify innovative community engagement practices that will be tested at proposed large-scale solar project sites. Then, the project''s research partners will conduct state-of-the-art surveys to evaluate how well these practices shape local support for these
The utility-scale solar permitting process is a critical component in the development of large-scale solar projects in the United States. It ensures that these projects are designed, constructed, and operated in a manner that is environmentally responsible, socially acceptable, and compliant with all regulatory requirements. For commercial
Solar projects provide additional revenue streams to landholders while also supplying shade for livestock. The moisture that collects on solar panels overnight also helps to drought-proof large parcels of land. The combination of livestock and solar is called ''agrisolar'' and Australia is already a world leader in its deployment.
By sharing knowledge and working together on the spatial planning of future large-scale solar projects, nations should develop and implement fair and sustainable energy solutions and avoid any

The first Australian solar farm in Antarctica was switched on at Casey research station in March 2019. The system of 105 solar panels, mounted on the northern wall of the ‘green store’, provides 30 kW of renewable energy into the power grid. That’s about 10% of the station’s total demand.
To optimists, Antarctica one day playing host to a large solar farm would evidence both the emerging capabilities of the technology and the capacity of humanity to utilize the southernmost continent in a new way.
Introduction Solar power harvesting in Antarctica started in the early 1990s, when NASA and the US Antarctic Program tested PV at a field camp to generate electricity . Since then, the collected data have revealed that the installed capacity has increased to over 220 kWp nowadays.
Solar energy has also become prevalent in Antarctic operations in the last decade. This type of energy was mainly introduced either to complement wind energy or in summer bases, summer shelters and on expedition equipment that can be powered by solar energy (radios, very-high-frequency (VHF) repeaters).
Uruguay found the installation of solar PV panels at its Antarctic station to be an easy and straightforward task, with the first 1 kW-capacity setup being installed in 2018. Solar panels were mounted on the walls of the building to minimize interference from the wind.
Many national Antarctic programmes (NAPs) have adopted hybrid systems combining fossil fuels and renewable energy sources, with a preference for solar or wind depending on the specific location of the research station and previous experiences with certain technologies.
