Utility-scale solar is evolving, shaped by higher power modules and demand for increasingly lower levelised cost of electricity (LCOE). Those trends are also changing project requirements elsewhere, with inverters capable of delivering high power density and power capacity in strong demand.
In this webinar, FIMER detailed how its innovative high-power, multi-MPPT string inverter and modular conversion solution can both meet those demands and transform the utility-scale solar sector for the better.
The solar, storage and EV industries in the UK are going from strength to strength. There is no better place for the community to meet, share ideas and do business than Solar & Storage Live from 23-25 November at the NEC.There’s something for everyone; more than 150 exhibitors, a high-level conference, a start up and innovation zone, a poster zone, strategic partners to network with and much more.
The race is on but we need to sprint… With global climate talks fast approaching and time running out to prevent the most disastrous impacts of climate change, now is the time to act.
The Summit will explore the opportunities that emerge from taking action on climate change and provide a clear pathway forward for governments, citizens and companies.
Taking place just 10 days before the G20 meeting in Rome, on 30-31 of October, and in the lead up to the critical COP26 meeting in Glasgow from 31 October–12 November, this event will be instrumental in influencing ambitious global action.
Join this free webinar to hear Martin Green, Scientia Professor, University of New South Wales explain the physical and technological limits for PERC cells and the potential efficiency advantages of TOPCon, HJT and IBC:
- How much further can PERC efficiency be pushed? Has it run out of puff or is it just getting started?
- The relative merits of TOPCon, HJT and IBC cell variants
- The manufacturing technologies that need to be optimised for each of these cell variants
(This is the keynote presentation from PV CellTech Online, 25th August 2021)
C&I consumers currently source only about 7% of their power requirement directly from renewables. Indian corporate renewable market has grown rapidly and holds huge growth potential as companies look to reduce power purchase costs and cut carbon emissions.
BRIDGE TO INDIA has built significant expertise in the corporate renewable business by working on over 30 consulting assignments and various research reports. We are organizing this conference to bring all stakeholders together and delve deeper into various market aspects.
The conference will be held on a virtual platform with excellent networking opportunities for all participants.
The 10th edition of the famous Metallization and Interconnection Workshop, MIW2021, will take place in the Thor Central venue in Genk, Belgium, on Monday, November 15, and Tuesday, November 16, 2021 as a face-to-face meeting. We are longing for direct exchange of knowledge and ideas after a long time. Hopefully you can be part of it! But of course, the organizors will keep an eye on the evolution of the Covid pandemic. It will be assess carefully, whether the workshop can be held without major risks or excessive restrictions. We are looking forward to exciting talks, discussions and meetings and to welcoming you in Genk!
As the solar market continues to grow and become cost-competitive with fossil fuels in markets across the world, the industry’s focus has become one of ensuring the best possible levelised cost of electricity (LCOE) for each project.
This equation, however, takes into account far more than just the cost or power of the modules and other components, and now the solar industry must learn to incorporate factors such as product reliability, mechanical load and overall system value to truly optimise LCOE and deliver a project that can stand up to the elements.
In this webinar, Trina Solar and Fraunhofer ISE experts discussed the need to incorporate these values into project economics.
Register to hear PV-Tech’s head of market research and Chair of PV CellTech, Dr. Finlay Colville, discuss and explain the latest developments by the PV industry to move technology from p-type to n-type:
- Hear about the latest developments in ramping new production lines for n-type cell variants
- Discover which of the n-type options are being promoted the most
- What are the challenges today in moving n-type to the multi-GW scale?
- Are leading p-type mono PERC producers reacting to the threat from n-type investments?
Additionally, Finlay will reveal the latest PV ModuleTech Bankability Ratings for leading PV module suppliers:
- Is the industry still dominated by a few PV module suppliers, occupying Ratings of A, AA, and AAA?
- Are there any n-type producers among the most bankable suppliers?
- Is consolidation a reality? Why are there so many new companies now entering the PV sector in China?
- Will the U.S. trade threats result in any major changes in global module supply?
The presentation will conclude by looking at key metrics through to the end of the year, including module price/costs, and polysilicon production/supply.
In this PV Tech TechTalk webinar, JA Solar discussed both Europe’s surging solar forecasts and how its product portfolio is designed to support that growth, utilising the latest technologies to improve your PV projects and ensure maximum reliability and performance.
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 is one of those topics that deserve more attention, but it has been typically handled by derate factors rather than trying to accurately forecast the loss over the life of the system. This has led to a majority of projects in the industry underperforming against plant yield expectations and yet the low hanging fruit of more accurate financial modeling of plants is not being explored.
The industry needs to take a closer look at shade modeling, as project portfolios are primed to grow in number and investors and owners need scalable ways to reduce risk and be able to rely on the forecast return on investment.
Nextracker collaborated with PV Tech and DNV to host a webinar on shade modeling for utility-scale solar PV projects, discussing tracker shade loss and its potential remedies.
