Achieving a 40-year module warranty through data science and engineering
How long does a solar system last? On March 3, Maxeon will show how testing, field data, modelling, and design enhancements have given the company enough confidence to support a 40-year warranty.
New Fraunhofer study details multi- versus single-MPPT inverters
PV inverter manufacturer Kaco has quantified the compatibility problems of multi-MPPT inverters and high-performance modules in their own study. In this pv magazine Webinar, our speakers will present new research results on the use of multi-MPPT versus single-MPPT inverters and explain why string inverters with only one MPPT do not have such problems compared to multi-MPPT inverters.
Suitable solar+storage: New residential solutions from Jinko Solar
In this pv magazine Webinar, two new battery energy storage system (ESS) products from JinkoSolar will be announced. Key elements of energy storage technology will also discussed, with technical expertise on hand.
N-type TOPCon solar modules conquering new markets
In this pv magazine Webinar, Jinko Solar will present its own TOPCon technology and analyze market trends and the potential for TOPCon over the coming years, especially for markets in the MENA region. Some business cases will be introduced to present the technology main features that, according to the manufacturer, will make TOPCon modules prevail in the global market.
Reducing the environmental impact of PV mounting structures
ArcelorMittal, a leading supplier of steel and a major actor in the solar industry, will join us to talk about its foray into the world of low CO2 steel and present solutions to improve mounting structure design, durability, and environmental impact.
Purchasing modules in 2022 – What should be in your purchase contract?
Join this pv magazine Webinar for a discussion about what elements should be placed into a purchase agreement, from adequate quality requirements to emerging supply chain requirements, and what support you can get from an accredited inspection body to ensure high quality PV module manufacturing and delivery.
How US solar companies can manage supply chain risk following Customs WRO on Hoshine
In late June, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection placed a Withhold Release Order (WRO) on products containing material from China’s largest metallurgical-grade silicon (mg-Si) manufacturer. We will discuss the ramifications of this decision on the U.S. solar industry and look at the critical points from the WRO to understand how solar goals and plans could be affected.
Grid code compliance in megawatt projects – Practical commissioning in the Netherlands
Europe’s booming solar markets have seen new grid code compliance standards being introduced recently, and we will discuss what that exactly means for plant operators.
Can you design sustainable PV backsheets without compromising performance?
While the quality of materials and components has thus far been a particular focus for manufacturers looking to offer premium products that stand the test of time, sustainability is increasingly on the agenda as end-of-life waste mounts, and customer and policy demands change. A growing number of manufacturers recognize the benefits of integrating sustainable design and production principles, like lower long-term costs, due to material reuse, for example, without compromising on other aspects.
Meeting the expectation of a 30+ PV project operation lifetime, from the ground up
Utility scale solar developers are increasingly factoring in very long project lifetimes in their financial models. Given this, expectations for the durability of the components have never been higher. The mounting structure is literally the component on which the weight of these expectations rest – whether fixed tilt or single-axis tracker. But is the material from which the mounting structure is constructed built to last 25, 30 or even more years in the field?
