Agriculture hybrid solar farm, Youngwol solar farm in Korea

Image
Four years ago, South Korea's largest solar power plant started operation in Youngwol-gun, Gangwon-do, South Korea. On the site of about 1 million square meters, Yeongwol solar power plant installed with 130,000 solar panels was invested 14,000million Korea won(120 million USD) in 40Mwh scale The special thing about Yeongwol solar power plant is that it builds combined agriculture farm under the solar panel structure Some 1 million square meters of solar farm land are grow very special crops called "mountin garlic, one kind of ginseng " at the bottom of solar power facilities the bigget combined Solar power generation and agricultural cooperation system in world In general, Korea's photovoltaic power generation time is 3.3-3.5 hours per day, but this solar farm has 3.7-4.1 hours per day because it uses the tracking solar system The complex solar power plant of this new trial is said to ship "mount garlic" in earnest this year, but the achievem...

Korea has extend more 5 years incentive for solar RPS system

Image
Korea has RPS incentive system for solar and wind power since 2011 by former president Mr. Lee this year new president Mr. Moon has extend more 5 years incentive for RPS from 15 years total 20 years possible RPS incentive    Korea RPS has two incentive system first is SMP cost, any solar farm in Korea can sale his electricity to Kepco (http://home.kepco.co.kr/kepco/main.do) by Kepco electric power net work by market price from Korea electric exchange market the other incentive is REC system, if who have sale his electricity from his solar or wind farm will get REC point from government agency  this REC point also can sale to major electric power supply company in Korea by long term contract with them or in spot market of REC  this major electric power supply company must to purchase RPS point depend on their electric produce volume SMP price will change according to market currently about 80-85KRW/Kw REC price is also change depend on situation the la...

Change certification for solar panel in Korea

Image
if who want to sale his solar panel or inverter to Korea then must to certification by KNREC http://www.knrec.or.kr/knrec/index.asp no certification solar panel and inverter can't get incentive from Government by Korea RPS system KNREC has changed certification process, new certification is combined KS certification from renewable energy certification Foreign supplier can apply certification of solar panel or inverter to KNREC  then KNREC will inspection his factory and test panel or inverter by offcially designate Lab.  after pass certification will get certification document for panel or inverter  and issuing certification for his buyer 

India will new second big market of solar?

In February 2015, the Government of India announced an ambitious renewable energy development plan according to the plan, the Government of India plans to build 175Gw renewable energy generation facilities by 2022 through photovoltaic (100Gw), wind (60Gw), small hydro (5Gw) and bio power The Government of India announced that as of September 1 this year, about 22% of it was achieved but more than half by the wind power plants Relatively slow solar power generation is accelerating this year. The Government of India will allocate volumes for 20.6Gw of photovoltaic power plants through competitive bidding (Auction) in the fiscal year 2017-2018 (from April 1, 2017 to March 31, 2018) In addition, we plan to launch competitive bidding for 30GW of volume each next year and next year Through competitive bidding that started in May of this year, some solar power plant plans have already signed up to PPA For the remaining volume, there will be a competitive bidding for 3Gw next mon...
