On the African continent, we look at how rooftop solar is stepping in to plug the gap left by dampening enthusiasm for large solar projects. Commercial and industrial arrays are leading the charge and there has been a wave of merger and acquisition activity as companies try to keep pace with the opportunities opening in front of them.
From one set of opportunities to another, solar industry veteran Jigar Shah has some things to say about virtual power plants (VPPs). Known as the father of the solar power purchase agreement, Shah leads the US Department of Energy’s Loans Programs Office and explains some of the knowns and unknowns of rolling out VPPs.
