Module Technology

In this pv magazine Webinar, we will explore how resistance to extreme weather can be manufactured into modules and trackers for the utility-scale segments. As the frequency of extreme weather events increases, we’ll examine the solar technology that can mitigate risk from hail damage, high winds, and uneven snow loading.

We will discuss the real prospects of the commercial and industrial (C&I) market in Saudi Arabia and present virtuous business cases showing the path for future development.

In this pv magazine Webinar, we will explore what increasing weather events mean for the solar industry including the benefits of hail-and-wind-resistant modules from a utility, C&I, community solar perspective, as well as from a residential homeowner and installer perspective.

In this pv magazine Webinar, we’ll explore PV modules performance and safety issues that can arise from common faults and the steps that can be taken to prevent them. Drawing on years of experience conducting PV manufacturing inspections and supplier assessments, webinar partner Clean Energy Associates (CEA) will present findings based on the latest inspection data.

Ultraviolet induced degradation (UVID) is a major concern for PV manufacturers, and indeed anyone invested in durable module design. In this pv magazine Webinar, we will explore how testing has revealed weaknesses to UV in some TOPCon modules, and how manufacturers are already responding with more resilient designs, enhanced quality control, and other measures.

Heterojunction (HJT) products now represent a small but growing share of the market for PV modules. And this technology can already claim several advantages over others. In this pv magazine Webinar, we take a look at the latest in HJT innovation and how it is already having an impact in leading PV markets.

Back contact cell designs can be combined with many other PV manufacturing innovations, to push cell efficiency and module power beyond current limitations. In this pv magazine Webinar, we take a closer look at Chinese manufacturing giant Longi Solar’s latest product, incorporating hybrid passivated back contact (HPBC) cell technology, and a wealth of other innovations.

In this pv magazine Webinar, Trina Solar will present its own TOPCon Vertex N solar module technology and the results of a recent tests conducted by US-based independent safety science company Underwriters Laboratories UL. Experts from the Chinese manufacturer and the certification body will discuss a case study of an independent LCOE assessment of the Vertex N 700W+ modules in Brazil and Germany.

Heterojunction (HJT) cell technology offers some of the strongest possibilities for manufacturers to keep squeezing more efficiency and performance out of silicon solar cells. And with its new zero-busbar technology, Huasun aims to do just that. In this pv magazine Webinar, we take a closer look at this and some of the other innovations at work in the Chinese HJT specialist’s latest module offering.

The U.S. solar market has been experiencing an oversupply of PV modules, accompanied by rapidly falling prices. However, the threat of a new solar AD/CVD case could turn oversupply into scarcity overnight. In this pv magazine Webinar, we examine the risks and opportunities the industry’s rapidly changing supply environment presents to buyers and other project stakeholders and look at the most effective ways to manage them.
