Unveiling the Magic of Movie Making [Complete Guide] Behind-the-scenes in film is the unseen, yet vital heartbeat of any production. It involves the myriad of processes and personnel that contribute to the creation of cinematic magic before it reaches the silver screen. From set design and costume creation to script revision s and post
Average annual investments in renewable energy grew ten-fold from less than USD 0.5 billion in the 2000-2009 period to USD 5 billion in 2010-2020. Distributed renewable energy solutions, including stand-alone systems and mini-grids, are playing a steadily growing role in expanding electricity access in off-grid areas and strengthening supply in
South Africa is aiming to procure utility-scale battery storage with two tender programmes: its Battery Storage IPP Procurement Programme as well as hybrid battery storage and
Strong growth occurred for utility-scale batteries, behind-the-meter, mini-grids, solar home systems, and EVs. Lithium-ion batteries dominate overwhelmingly due to continued cost reductions and performance improvements. And policy support has succeeded in boosting deployment in many markets (including Africa).
New figures from the World Bank reveal the average potential of solar energy around the world, with Africa leading the charge. Long-term output exceeding 4.5kWh/kWp per day is described as ''excellent conditions for solar power''. Africa''s average long-term practical yield of a utility scale solar energy installation is 4.51 kWh/kWp/day.
As of 2022, the accumulated installed capacity of residential battery energy storage systems reached 7.0GWh in Germany, making it the leading country in Europe''s residential energy storage market. Government policies have played a crucial role in this success.
