Kosol Energie Powers 10 MW Solar Project in Kutch with GoodWe Inverters
Bhuj: GoodWe, a global leading
solar inverter
manufacturer and energy solution provider, is driving sustainability across a wide range of applications. One such impactful story comes from Kutch, Gujarat, where
Kosol Energie
, a prominent module manufacturer and EPC service provider, successfully completed a 10 MW
solar
installation for the Gujarat State Electricity Corporation Limited (GSECL).
The project is located in a region known for its extreme temperatures, which poses challenges in maintaining reliable energy production under harsh environmental conditions. To meet these demands, GoodWe's 350 kW UT string inverters were chosen for their proven reliability and high efficiency in such environments. Powered by these inverters, the system achieves an impressive 70 MWh per day.
It provides anti-Potential Induced Degradation (PID) and PID-recovery functions, effectively mitigating energy losses caused by PID effects, especially in high-temperature and high-humidity conditions. With an IP66 rating and up to C5 protection, the inverter demonstrates resilience in harsh environments.
"GoodWe's inverters have been performing exceptionally well in extreme heat, delivering high efficiency and energy generation. The service from design to installation and operations was outstanding, and the system's reliability has exceeded our expectations." stated Harish Sharma, Project Head - Kosol Energie, "Based on our previous experience,
GoodWe inverters
are producing 10-15% energy generation compared to previous products we used".
He also added, "GoodWe's performance and support have made it Kosol's first choice for future projects, making it the preferred string inverter for all upcoming solar installations."

Pre-bid meet for Deonar tobe held amid Mulund delay
Mumbai: As the BMC prepares to conduct a pre-bid meeting on Friday for the bioremediation of 185 lakh ton of legacy waste at the Deonar dumping ground (for reclaiming land), uncertainty continues to loom over the reclamation of the Mulund dumping ground, where also bioremediation efforts are underway. Earlier this week, during a meeting, the contractor informed the BMC that an additional extension would be required to complete the Mulund work. The pre-bid meeting for the Deonar project is expected to shed light on interested companies. "While June 3 is the end date for bid submission, those interested can raise queries in the tender floated by the BMC," said an official. In previous instances, if the BMC deemed queries raised by bidders to be important, a corrigendum was issued accordingly. Meanwhile, officials highlighted ongoing delays in the Mulund dumpsite project. "The Mulund dumping ground ceased operations in 2018. It was designated for a biomining project, but progress has been slower than anticipated," said an official, noting that the Covid-induced lockdowns had led to a shortage of manpower and machinery. "There was a six-year deadline to complete the work and last year a one-year extension was given to the contractor. Once Covid restrictions began to ease, asked the contractor to speed up work," the official said. "The BMC's priority is to reclaim the entire 60 acres of land as soon as possible." Further payments to the contractor will only be processed if civic authorities approve the extension.

Golden rule
Times change but world's trust in gold as a store of value doesn't. Good reasons for that There's a legend – not undisputed – that Roman soldiers were sometimes paid in salt. Hence, the word 'salary'. With table salt at around 35 cents a kilo, it won't do today. Even the lowest ranks would need a truck to cart away their wages. But gold, the other ancient store of value, soldiers on. About 15 years ago, Duke University researchers calculated that a Roman centurion – paid 38.6 ounces or roughly 1.1kg of gold per annum – was 30% richer than a US army captain. Since then, the price of gold has risen 3.6 times, which is unlikely to be the case with US army salaries. It's not surprising then that nothing, from Dutch tulips to crypto, has dulled gold's appeal. Stocks are a steady parallel, but everything else comes and goes like a fad. Gold is precious because it's rare – not more than 6 parts per billion in earth's crust, but up to 8,740ppb in meteorites – but that's only half the story. Iridium and osmium are even rarer, and pricier, but the world isn't lining up to buy them. Iridium's price doesn't shoot up or plummet with Trump's mutterings. When gold hit its all-time high on April 22, iridium was at its lowest this year. That's not to say gold never takes a tumble. It fell big in 1975-76, and in 2008, only to recover and scale greater heights. Talking of Trump, gold is also a measure of the madness of his schemes. When he hit China with bigger tariffs on April 9, gold swung up. He took shots at US Fed chief Jerome Powell, gold moved up even higher. When he backtracked, gold swung down promptly. It just goes to show that, when times look bad, ancient gold – not newfangled stocks and derivatives – get our vote of confidence. If gold continues rising, it's a sign of more instability ahead, some of it Trump-induced. But if Trump makes good on his promise to personally check all the gold in Fort Knox – 4,175 tonnes or some 3.4L bars – there could be a few weeks' respite.

Japan's economy shrinks more than expected as US tariff hit looms
Japan's economy shrank for the first time in a year in the March quarter at a faster pace than expected, data showed on Friday, underscoring the fragile nature of its recovery now under threat from U.S. President Donald Trump's trade policies. The data highlights the challenge policymakers face as steep U.S. tariffs cloud the outlook for the export-heavy economy, particularly for the mainstay automobiles sector. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Highest Earning College Majors—2025 Edition Best Paying Degrees | Search Ads Learn More Undo Real gross domestic product (GDP) contracted an annualised 0.7% in January-March, preliminary government data showed, much bigger than a median market forecast for a 0.2% drop. It followed a revised 2.4% increase in the previous quarter. The decline was due to stagnant private consumption and falling exports, suggesting the economy was losing support from overseas demand even before Trump's announcement on April 2 of sweeping "reciprocal" tariffs. "Japan's economy lacks a driver of growth given weakness in exports and consumption. It's very vulnerable to shocks such as one from Trump tariffs," said Yoshiki Shinke, senior executive economist at Dai-ichi Life Research Institute. Live Events "The data may lead to growing calls for bigger fiscal spending," he said, adding the economy could contract again in the second quarter depending on when the hit from tariffs intensifies. On a quarter-on-quarter basis, the economy shrank 0.2% compared with market forecasts for a 0.1% contraction. Private consumption, which accounts for more than half of Japan's economic output, was flat in the first quarter, compared with market forecasts for a 0.1% gain. Capital expenditure increased 1.4% compared with market forecasts for a 0.8% gain, the data showed. External demand shaved 0.8 percentage point off GDP growth as exports fell 0.6%, while imports rose 2.9%. Domestic demand, by contrast, added 0.7 point to growth. "Capital expenditure rose probably due to front-loading ahead of Trump tariffs. The economy may avert negative growth in April-June, but will lack momentum," said Takeshi Minami, chief economist at Norinchukin Research Institute. "If the impact of Trump tariffs is fairly light, the Bank of Japan could raise interest rates again in September or October. But if the tariffs deal a severe blow to capital spending and exports, rate hikes could be put on hold," he said. A global trade war touched off by U.S. tariffs has jolted financial markets and complicated the BOJ's decision on when and how far it can push up interest rates. Having exited a decade-long stimulus last year, the BOJ hiked rates to 0.5% in January and has signaled its readiness to keep hiking borrowing costs if a moderate economic recovery keeps Japan on track to durably hit its 2% inflation target. But fears of a Trump-induced global slowdown forced the BOJ to sharply cut its growth forecasts at its April 30-May 1 policy meeting, and cast doubt on its view that sustained wage hikes will underpin consumption and the broader economy. While a de-escalation of U.S.-China trade tensions offered markets and policymakers some relief, there is uncertainty on whether Japan can win exemptions from U.S. tariffs in bilateral trade talks with Washington. The gloomy GDP data may also pile pressure on Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba to heed lawmakers' demands to cut tax or compile a fresh stimulus package.
