French solar equipment supplier Monabee ☀️ is expanding its range of solutions with two batteries – a physical and a virtual one, which can maximize the self-consumption of electricity produced by solar panels. A direct consequence of the acceleration of the deployment of solar energy in France – with more than 3 GW installed in 2023 – battery electricity storage is also experiencing strong growth. French equipment provider Monabee ☀️ is taking the opportunity to extend its offering with two solutions for storing the energy produced by solar panels: a physical battery and another virtual one, allowing in both cases to optimize the consumption of self-generated electricity. Launched in partnership with installer Urban Solar Energy, the virtual battery system, still relatively undeveloped on the French market, is a service that allows unlimited energy storage in terms of volume and time. The principle is simple: when the solar panels produce energy during the day, the surplus electricity not consumed is automatically recorded and credited to a personal online account.

[1-min explainer ⏱️] The acronym PSPP may sound like a software programme, but it’s totally different! However, technology is also involved ⚡️ ️   It’s an energy storage solution using hydropower. The acronym stands for pumped-storage power plant. We’re going to tell you how it works :   solar and wind power have many advantages but are intermittent sources of energy. When wind is low or cloud cover is heavy, less energy is produced. However, the PSPP uses water to adjust supply and demand ⚖️   This way, in cases of surplus production, the energy is stored in a reservoir. The storage reservoir is at a higher elevation. When energy is needed, the water is forced through a tunnel towards a turbine.   The high water pressure flowing through the tunnels produces electricity. To optimise the way the system works, reservoirs should be separated by a significant difference in elevation of at least 100 metres! ⏬️   That is the case with the Abdelmoumen plant 🇲🇦 : its two reservoirs are 600 metres apart. This colossal structure, which includes a pumped-storage power plant, is being built by a consortium led by VINCI Construction Grands Projets.

The photovoltaic industry continues to grow, and France has completed a tender for commercial and industrial rooftop solar power. France concludes C&I rooftop PV tender with average price of €0.1016/kWh. The French authorities have concluded a commercial and industrial (C&I) rooftop PV tender with an average price of €0.1016 ($0.11)/kWh. The government allocated 179.9 MW of PV capacity in total. France’s Ministry of Ecological and Solidarity Transition has announced the winners of the seventh round of tenders for C&I rooftop solar systems for the 2021-26 period, with capacities above 500 kW. The authorities allocated 179.0 MW of solar through the procurement exercise to 50 developers at an average final price of €0.1016/kWh. The French authorities originally received 84 project proposals, totaling 274.8 MW. This figure represents 69% of the 400 MW that the government planned to allocate through the procurement exercise, which means it was largely undersubscribed. In the nation's sixth tender, held in March, the ministry assigned 362.2 MW at an average final price of €0.1021/kWh. In the fifth tender, finalized in late August 2023, the authorities allocated 378 MW of solar to 60 developers at an average final price of €0.10195/kWh. In the fourth exercise, the ministry only allocated 57.6 MW across 16 projects at an average final price of €0.10452/kWh. In the third tender, the authorities allocated 89.9 MW at an average final price of €0.090951/kWh. In the second tender, they assigned 122 MW at an average final price of €0.08257/kWh.

☀ PHOTOVOLTAICS – CONTRIBUTION TO CLIMATE NEUTRALITY 🏢 In 2022, we began equipping our building roofs with #photovoltaic modules. ✅ A total of 1108 modules have now been installed and connected to the corresponding transformer station. "With the PV system, we achieve a degree of self-sufficiency of 31% and a self-consumption rate of 60%," explains Sustainability Advisor Sascha Ziese. 🌳 The rest, which is not used for self-consumption, is fed into the grid as #greenelectricity. Conversely, the outsourced electricity which we consume is also derived from renewables. Extensive construction work was required on the Hensel Recycling site to realise the project. #henselrecycling #gogreen #sustainability #climateneutrality

Solar Modules Deployed In France In 1992 Still Provide 79.5% of Original Output: French photovoltaics group Hespul tested solar panels installed in 1992, reports PV Magazine: The testing showed that the modules still produce on average 79.5% of their initial power after 31 years of operation. In a previous testing carried out 11 years ago, the panels were found to produce 91.7% of their initial power. "This result exceeds the performance promised by the manufacturers who said the panels would have maintained 80% of their output after 25 years," said Hespul. The drop in performance is on average 20.5%, or 0.66% per year over 31 years, and 1.11% per year over the last 11 years... Another more recent study carried out by the US Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) on 1,700 American sites totaling 7.2 GW of power, showed a median degradation of around -0.75%/year. Moveover, another research study focused on 4,300 residential installations in operation in Europe and used different data processing methodologies. Depending on the methods, a median loss of -0.36% to -0.67%/year was obtained. Thanks to long-time Slashdot reader storkus for sharing the news. Read more of this story at Slashdot.
