MEMC Singapore, a unit of MEMC Electronic Materials, and Northland Power have signed a Master Module Supply Agreement for the purchase of solar PV modules to be manufactured in Newmarket, Ontario. The modules will be used for Northland’s 130MW Ontario solar portfolio and as part of a CAN$600 million investment by Northland for the construction of ground-mounted solar projects in Ontario. The monetary value of the deal was not disclosed.

“Northland's significant investment in ground-mounted solar builds on our 25-year history of being an innovative and entrepreneurial energy generator in Ontario,” said John Brace, president and CEO of Northland Power. “We are pleased to be partnering with MEMC because of their commitment to high quality standards, and their demonstrated willingness to invest in Ontario for the long-term.”

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.
