First Solar wins EPC and module supply contract for 130MW Imperial County power plant

Free webinar - Hear an updated and live talk that was first delivered by PV Tech's Head of Research, Dr Finlay Colville at the PV ModuleTech conference in Napa on 15 June 2022: - The PV industry has moved beyond its legacy supply/demand dynamics: why has this happened? - ASPs can’t go down globally in the near to mid-term: why is this the case? - Is there new capacity coming to the rescue? - Has China’s polysilicon industry become a new PV pricing cartel? - Making products & deploying domestically in a TW annual landscape: how can the U.S. really do this in practice? - The real PV technology roadmap: why do only 2% of producers matter today?

As New South Wales is gearing up to become a renewable energy superpower, an exciting clean energy event is coming to Sydney. Energy Next is a free-to-attend industry event focusing on the latest renewable energy and energy management technologies, which will be held from 19-20 July 2022 at the ICC Sydney in Darling Harbour. Organised by the same people behind the country’s largest clean energy event, All-Energy Australia, Energy Next will bring a quality exhibition and technical session series to NSW. Energy Next will also host the Clean Energy Council’s Solar Masterclass with a program developed for solar designers and installers. Across two days, Energy Next will provide an extensive exhibition, workshops and networking opportunities for those working in the renewable energy industry to meet with leading suppliers, discover the latest technologies and gain an understanding of how to successfully launch new clean energy projects.

Join us for this free webinar on 20th July as Finlay Colville, Head of Research at Solar Media, provides a detailed update on the UK's solar industry today: Where is growth coming from, how much deployment is likely over the next 12-18 months? The large-scale solar farm pipeline at 40 GW and still going up – how much is getting built today? Commercial rooftops - the big story of UK solar in 2022; but is this just the tip of the iceberg? Why are PV module prices going up? What will happen in the next couple of years? The era of PV modules at 500 Watts and above: what is driving this?

The rooftop solar PV market is set for significant growth, but installers are being held back by complicated design software that is slow, cumbersome and fails to take into account rooftop shading, module compatibility and energy storage. Huawei’s SmartDesign 2.0 is a web-based PV and energy storage system tool that promises to solve all of those issues, and much more. This webinar will provide a live demonstration of the SmartDeisgn 2.0 tool, showing how installers can quickly complete Huawei PV & ESS system designs and assemble a professional report with 3D site view for potential customers, streamlining the design and sales service.

The corporate renewable market is growing rapidly driven by increasing focus on decarbonisation and sustainability. There are several procurement options already popular today – open access, rooftop solar, RECs and green tariffs. Some new procurement routes as well as technologies are emerging – VPPA, storage, round-the-clock PPAs etc. Each procurement option comes with unique benefits and challenges related to policy and regulatory framework, commercial feasibility, contractual terms, execution and operational aspects. This programme is designed to empower business managers with adequate knowledge and skills to analyse different procurement options and develop an optimal roadmap based on their individual needs. The programme will be conducted by BRIDGE TO INDIA team supported by leading experts from the renewable energy industry.

As solar PV projects embrace large-format and bifacial PV modules, inverters are evolving to deliver benefits across all three main LCOE variables, namely Capex, Opex and yield. However, asset operators are also demanding more oversight of the health of their projects, in turn demanding even more from modern inverter technology. This webinar will discuss how modern solar inverters have evolved to keep pace with PV module technology, providing real-life examples of how GoodWe has solved challenges for solar project developers and asset managers.
