Ascent Solar has signed a cooperation agreement with Giscosa Sociedad Limitada of Spain, a rubber membrane manufacturer and distributor, for the development of building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) roofing products for distribution in Europe.

The agreement will see both Ascent and Giscosa working together in developing BIPV roofing materials using the latter’s RubberSun roofing products. Ascent will enable the development and certification of the products by supplying Giscosa with product from its 1.5MW production line.

The companies may continue with this cooperation agreement in the future, in the form of demonstration-scale products with the aim of further marketing the BIPV roofing products.

Shade modelling for utility-scale PV plants: Why it matters and what you should do about it

19 August 2021

The utility-scale PV market is poised for exponential growth and yet the industry still has many fundamental opportunities to improve on standards and best practice. Tracker shade loss has been one of those topics that deserve more attention, but has been typically handled by derate factors rather than trying to accurately forecast the loss over the life of the system. Join Nextracker’s subject matter experts, Aron Dobos and Neelesh Umachandran, and Rounak Kharait, director of solar energy assessments at DNV, for a webinar about why shade modeling matters and recommendations on what the solar industry should do about it.
