Upcoming Webinars

Astronergy has introduced its latest module product series, ASTRO N7 and ASTRO N7s, both of which utilise rectangular wafers. ASTRO N7, based on the 210mm*182mm wafer, is specifically tailored for utility-scale systems. It features dimensions of 2382mm*1134mm and a 66-cell layout design that effectively lowers Voc and increases string size. This design feature significantly reduces tracker and cable costs, leading to a reduction in LCOE by 0.44% to 4.37% compared to 182mm-wafer TOPCon modules. Furthermore, ASTRO N7 incorporates advanced cell and module technologies such as laser-induced firing, super multi-busbar, light-redirecting film, and double-layer coating glass to enhance module power output and reliability. Join us to explore the latest advances in module technology and how they can improve module performance and learn about the economic advantage of rectangular-wafer modules and their benefits at a system level.

Almost half way through another turbulent year in the PV industry, where have we got to so far in 2024? This webinar – delivered exclusively form PV Tech’s head of research, Dr. Finlay Colville, will shed light on how the PV industry is adapting to a new phase of cut-throat pricing, loss-making and trade-war complications. A perfect time to ask questions – before, during and after the live webinar – Dr. Colville will offer his thoughts on: - Why there is so little consolidation in the sector - Why so many companies appear untroubled to accumulate losses - Whether this somewhat toxic manufacturing environment is potentially making technology roadmap projections somewhat easier than in the past

Join us to learn how the X1 US AC Coupled Storage System can cover the needs of customers in the US from the perspectives of the three main market drivers: disaster preparedness, energy independence and electricity savings. In the webinar, we’ll also discuss how the X1’s innovative modular design and parallel-connection systems architecture enables installers to best match each customer's needs to the correct system sizing, and more.

The webinar will provide the very latest trends in PV module supply and what is important when assessing product quality and reliability. How many of the imported modules for example, from Southeast Asia and India, are based on n-type TOPCon and heterojunction now? What is important to look at when assessing these new technologies’ reliability?

This special webinar will look at one of the most important changes impacting PV manufacturing today; how to establish and sustain new facilities around the world. For more than two decades, policy-makers have grappled with the challenges of nurturing domestic manufacturing sectors. Many countries have tried to create domestic sectors: Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, India, Europe and the U.S. But success stories have been rare. Mistakes seem to be repeated. And all the while, Chinese dominance of the industry has only increased. However, in the past 2-3 years, new drivers have emerged that suggest the dream of a global PV manufacturing ecosystem could be a reality. Join us as we shed light on this.

What will PV manufacturing and supply look like in 2024? Which manufacturers are best placed to get through what could be a year of manufacturing downturn and loss-making? Will the U.S. implement new investigations into module traceability and supply-chains for products being shipped from Southeast Asia and India to the U.S.? Will Europe be able to accelerate policy to stimulate domestic manufacturing investments? Will the first major capacity expansion investments be made into the technology that will replace TOPCon in 3-5 years? So many questions to consider in 2024. This webinar, featuring PV Tech’s Head of Research and Chair of the PV CellTech and PV ModuleTech conferences, Dr. Finlay Colville, will offer a stimulating insight into all these issues and many more.

ROTH MKM and Sustain SoCal invite you to the 6th Annual Sustainability Private Capital Event to be held virtually on December 6-7, 2023. This year’s conference will consist of Company Quick Pitches and 1-on-1 / small group ZOOM meetings. This format will provide investors from venture capital, private equity, family offices and strategic investors the opportunity to meet with early stage sustainability companies (mostly A, B, C round companies). We will feature ~ 40 companies from the Solar/Storage, Hydrogen, e-Mobility, Smart City, Circular Economy and AgTech verticals.

This webinar will look at the expected technology on offer from the PV industry during 2024, including a special look at new European heterojunction manufacturing.

Join Alva Svoboda, Principal of Market Design Integration at PG&E, and Drew Skau, Principal Product Manager at Fluence, to dive into how the right partnerships, tools, and other essential strategies helped their teams successfully navigate recent rule changes that were implemented regarding the bidding of energy storage into the California Independent System Operator (CAISO). Alva and Drew will provide essential lessons learned and key takeaways to help asset owners in energy markets across the world be prepared to navigate rule changes.

This webinar will examine PV module supply to Europe, reflecting on how it has evolved over the years and identifying the current trends in pricing, technology and product availability. PV module performance is going through a key technology change from p-type mono PERC to n-type variants, in particular TOPCon and heterojunction variants. Understanding which module suppliers are going to be key to European deployment growth in 2024 and 2025 – and what technologies they plan to offer - are the main questions to understand today.
