In this pv magazine Webinar, we will examine how solar project hail risk is increasing due to a perfect storm of market and technology changes including sharing lessons about and best practices for identifying, quantifying, and mitigating severe hail risk based on project location and fielded technology.

In this pv magazine Webinar, we will take a different approach to the conversation of hail and wind mitigation, sitting down with two of the most knowledgeable quality professionals in the industry, starting with a deep dive on the evolving nature of hail risk, before examining what steps can be taken in design, build and operation of the plants to mitigate risks and future proof projects in hail-prone geographies.

Forensic analysis provides a wide range of insights, from performance history to soiling, from weather events to wash cycles, and many more. Through testing, tracing and inspection, field forensics can help plant owners make better use of their solar assets. In this pv magazine Webinar, we will learn about field forensics and forensic analysis and discuss the process of action planning, underperformance attribution, and solutions engineering.

With extreme weather events becoming all too common, and a growing list of PV projects that have been damaged or destroyed by strong winds, ensuring that mounting structures are able to withstand the pressures they’ll face in the field is a vital concern for all involved. In this pv magazine Webinar, we’ll examine where current testing standards may fall short, and what this means for suppliers of trackers and mounting structures. And we’ll also be treated to a closer look at Gamechange Solar’s testing program, which takes into account the different pressure gradients across a module’s surface in a high wind environment; and ensures ample wind resistance.

We will discuss how rigorously tested modules and correctly engineered system designs create a major opportunity for U.S. utility-scale developers to lower project risk and LCOE.
