Residential

The last decade saw residential storage take off, achieving vast industry growth and customer adoption in a relatively short time. While the 2010s became the decade of residential solar, can energy storage follow the same blueprint for success in 2021?

Across Europe, markets for residential PV are evolving. Shifting policy priorities, new module technologies and new use cases for solar mean that component suppliers need to be ready to adapt to different requirements from installers and system owners.
In this pv magazine Webinar, we’ll introduce the latest addition to Sungrow’s residential portfolio in Europe– a 3-phase PV inverter that’s both scalable and packed with features. We’ll take a look at how the inverter enables system designers to meet varying customer needs in terms of power, space, and security, and why this type of flexibility is key in many of Europe’s rapidly diversifying residential PV markets.

Battery storage is much talked about in the solar industry. But when is a battery an economically sensible addition to a solar rooftop? Together with this webinar’s initiative partner Solis, we will discuss residential storage opportunities across various European markets. There will be insights and lessons learned from mature residential solar markets such as the UK, but we will also look ahead and see what some newer markets such as Belgium, Poland, and Sweden hold in terms of residential storage deployment opportunities.

According to the Solar Energy Industry Association (SEIA), one third of new residential solar PV systems in the U.S. will be coupled with energy storage by 2025. Even today, more than 70 percent of solar installers are already offering storage – but many of them still struggle to convert buyers successfully. If you’re thinking about adding storage as a service offering for the first time – or simply trying to fine tune your current process – this webinar is for you.

Hail is becoming a bigger financial risk for insurers, and they’re not covering all the damage. As glass gets thinner and storms get worse, solar asset owners need to take notice. In this pv magazine Webinar, we will discuss the technological and meteorological trends that are leading to more frequent, severe and destructive hailstorms, as well as how projects are traditionally insured against hail-related damages.

As larger, heavier and more powerful modules have dominated the past year’s new product announcements, ‘what about the rooftop segment?’ has become an increasingly common question. In this pv magazine Webinar, hosted in partnership with Trina Solar, we’ll take a look at the company’s new Vertex S series modules, designed for rooftop projects. Rated up to 405 W, the module promises higher energy yields than earlier products, without the added size and weight of new large-scale products. We’ll hear from Trina about the technologies contained within the module, and its work to ensure compatibility with balance-of-systems. Experienced engineers in rooftop PV evaluate the implications of designing systems with this module. We will also throw light on it from a wholesaler perspective and the strategic placement of the product in the diversified markets of Europe.

Whether by design or necessity, the allure of an interconnected home, one which generates, manages and uses all of its own electricity on-site, grows by the day. LG states this vision was critical in the launch of its new NeON R ACe AC residential solar module. With a built-in micro-inverter, the product has been designed specifically for ease of installation and without the level of complication that can overwhelm new consumers. In this pv magazine Webinar, we will discuss if LG’s NeON Ace is the complete solution to enable the home of the future.

Traditional methods of optimization are a thing of the past. Modern technology now affords PV professionals with better solutions that produce more energy and greater lifetime reliability. In this pv magazine Webinar, learn how recent advances in services technology are streamlining PV operations and reducing business risks associated with system downtime and truck rolls.

In this pv magazine Webinar, produced in partnership with Ginlong Solis, we’ll take a closer look at the Solis-HVES inverter series, and its secure smart home solution.

Back-contact technologies – metal wrap through (MWT) and interdigitated back contact (IBC) modules – promise high energy yields per square meter and are already making a significant impact in markets for residential rooftop and small commercial PV. In this pv magazine Webinar, we partner with leading materials company DSM for a closer look at how these technologies differ from conventional module designs, and the technology roadmap that could lead to bigger market impacts over the coming years.
