Roth & Rau AG has received a major order to supply two turnkey production lines worth €26 million to the Korean solar cell manufacturer Millinet Solar. The lines, which have production capacities of 60MWp each, will be supplied from June 2009 and November 2009.

This follows a substantial increase in new orders at Roth & Rau in the past 2008 financial year. Orders totalled €269.2 million, a 10.1% improvement compared with the previous year.

This major order confirms that companies are continuing to invest in the development and expansion of production capacities in 2009 and that turnkey projects are in high demand.

The Millinet project is the first to be handled by Roth & Rau in conjunction with its new partner, Manz Automation AG.

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.
