“By 2030, we’re aiming for every Google data centre to operate on clean energy every hour of every day. As we work towards this goal, we are committed to ensuring that the communities where we operate benefit from the clean energy transition,” said Christopher Scott, energy lead at Google.

In addition to Google’s carbon-free energy goal, the collaboration also aims to support local communities where the projects will be built. Both Google and Sol Systems will deploy capital to seed critical investments into regional community organisations that serve under-resourced and minority communities, focusing on reducing energy burden by enabling critical weatherproofing and safety upgrades to low- and moderate-income households.

“[Google is] a pioneer in renewable energy procurement and community investment. As they have [done] in the past, they continue to provide leadership and innovation for our industry,” said Yuri Horwitz, Sol Systems’ CEO.

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?
