If you are a solar park owner, investor, or O&M engineer looking for ways to increase the power output of your older solar parks, DSM’s Retrofit AR coating is the turnkey solution for you. The Retrofit AR coating, an offspring of DSM’s industry-leading Anti-Reflective coating, gives older, uncoated solar modules an instant power boost of up to 3%. Application is fast and reliable. Commercially launched in 2019, it has already been applied to 50MWp of installations in Europe, representing a strong vote of confidence for this innovative technology. In this webinar, Jörn Brembach, Commercial Manager Europe at DSM Advanced Solar, will outline the key features of the Retrofit AR coating, its durable technology, and its application process. Importantly, he will also share the results from industrial-scale use cases in Germany, Italy, and the Czech Republic. Jörn will also address the service’s bankability and explain which solar parks could benefit most from the coating. Jörn will be joined by Andrea Viaro, JinkoSolar’s Head of Technical Service and Product Management Europe, who will elaborate on the tests JinkoSolar has undertaken to ensure product warranties on its modules are not affected. Finally, Diego Molina, Innovation Manager at WiseEnergy, will discuss the coating’s impact and application from an asset management perspective, explaining how WiseEnergy evaluated the product on smaller PV power plants and why the company also decided to apply it to larger-capacity plants. Diego will also benchmark this solution against other repowering options available on the market.

Jinko Solar’s Head of Technical Services Europe, Andrea Viaro, will discuss the award-winning Swan bifacial module with transparent backsheet from DuPont, its features, benefits and differences vs. standard glass-glass modules. Jinko Solar’s new bifacial technology innovations will also be highlighted, specifically covering profitability in deployment at utility-scale PV power plants. Andrea will be joined by Dr. Lars Podlowski, Executive board member of PI Berlin and Director Global Technical Services, who will give a comprehensive introduction to all aspects of bifacial PV technology, with a special focus on benefits and risks industry buyers and investors should pay attention to. Stéphane Lebeau, Senior PV Engineer of DNV GL, will discuss bankability improvement for bifacial technology. Webinar Content: - Gain a comprehensive introduction to bifacial PV modules, looking in detail at the different financial benefits and extra yield potential. - Understand the impact of bifacial modules on the LCOE of a project: calculation of the higher energy generation levels for different environmental conditions and installation setups. - Learn more about the bifacial product roadmap from one of the most innovative companies in the PV industry – the SWAN bifacial module and other innovative projects that are still to be launched in 2019 by Jinko Solar.

ORIGINALLY PRESENTED/RECORDED on 29-05-2019 This webinar was presented by Mr. Philip Napier-Moore, Renewables Programme Leader, Asia Pacific of Mott MacDonald Ltd Key points: - Floating solar is now becoming a mainstream option for developers - Costs are falling and installations becoming ever larger - Technical challenges differ from ground-mounted plants, and require special attention Five key questions that will be addressed by the webinar: - What key milestones has the floating solar industry now reached? - What new opportunities does this progress unlock? - How can we design against natural hazards affecting floating projects? - What additional PV module quality requirements apply? - What other risks and considerations do you need to considered? About the speaker: Phil Napier-Moore leads Mott MacDonald’s technical advisory work for solar and wind power in the Asia Pacific region. Supporting plant investors and lenders from the sector’s infancy in 2008, he has overseen technical inputs to more than 9000 MW of projects in Asia, including 250 plants now in operation. He has directed and managed projects for multilateral agencies, national governments and a large number of private companies, working internationally on low-carbon power projects in 30 countries around the world, in particular within Asia and Europe. A Chartered Energy Engineer, he obtained his Masters of Engineering from Oxford University.

Presented by Andrea Viaro, Head of Technical Service Europe from Jinko Solar, the initiative partner of this webinar, as he outlines the key features and benefits of using ultra high performance modules. Viaro discusses how Jinko Solar’s new technology innovations impact the LCOE and IRR of the PV utility-scale power plants. Viaro is joined by Athanasios Bakalis, Group Technical Director and Nikos Sokos, General Manager MEA and Central Asia of METKA EGN, who presents a currently announced 300MW project in Spain, that will be fully powered by Jinko’s Cheetah modules and will deliberate potential cost benefits and risk assessment of the utility scale projects and what drove METKA EGN to choose Jinko’s ultra-high efficiency modules. Ruben Ron Head of Section Solar Iberia and LATAM for DNV GL, also joined the webinar to discuss an impact of the reliability and bankability of solar panels and how world-class best practices in manufacturing and upholding stringent quality standards, coupled with the use of field-proven components can help protect solar investments?

Driven by the rapid industry transformation, continuous technology evolution and increasingly complex market demands of the solar landscape in recent years, JinkoSolar has utilized its technical leadership to create cutting-edge technologies of tomorrow. Presented for the first time during SNEC 2018 in Shanghai, JinkoSolar Cheetah module is commercially mass-produced monofacial module, bringing the industry into the new age of PV 4.0. Cheetah series has created a new benchmark for ultra-high performing modules with its industry leading performance in metrics such as output, limited degradation, shade tolerance, and durability.
