First Solar et SunPower vont introduire le yieldco 8point3 en bourse. Improved access to public finance for solar may unlock the potential for distributed generation in Brazil. Next to the utility segment, the commercial/residential rooftop segment of the Brazilian PV market offers good market potential, driven by very favorable conditions for self-consumption of generated power.
Yet, the segment to date has not been able to reach significant scale. One of the main reasons for this is a lack of affordable funding. Apricum Project Manager Martin Mitscher examines Brazil’s solar financing challenges and advocates the role for public and private actors in developing suitable financing solutions, as successfully demonstrated abroad. Insignificant PV market development to date despite legislative backing. Materials for long-term PV performance and higher financial returns. In this interview with Florian Haacke, Apricum partner and head of the solar materials practice, we find out how innovative materials drive PV module performance directly determining system cost and why they are therefore an important consideration for PV system owners.
Looking back over the last 12 months, can it be said that PV module technology matured in 2014? With projected annual growth rates of around 15–20% over the next five years, PV is still a highly dynamic growth market. Grid parity has been achieved in several parts of the world, with many additional regions to follow in the next three years. FOE_Full_Report.

How Results Based Financing is spurring solar market development in Tanzania. By Martijn Veen, Josh Sebastian & Maarten Kleijn, SNV Tanzania With only 14% of Tanzanians having access to electricity and a vast majority of the country expected to remain off-grid for the coming decades, innovative financing mechanisms are needed to spur last-mile distribution of clean energy solutions.
SNV is among the first organizations world-wide piloting Results Based Financing (RBF) in the energy sector, aimed to overcome market failures constraining private sector delivery of modern energy services to isolated communities. The key feature of RBF is payment upon delivery, with the private sector expected to take the full risk until the moment of delivery of the contracted results. In Tanzania, the RBF initiative was launched for pico-solar PV lighting applications in the Lake Zone, which is considered to be the first operational RBF fund functioning under the global Energising Development (EnDev) programme as managed by GIZ and RVO and funded by DFID.
