Analyzing PV system safety and the promise of optimizers
There is no question that rooftop PV systems have to be safe, for residents, fire and emergency services, and for installers. However, how justified are some concerns being raised about system safety? And what missteps have been made while trying to mitigate some perceived threats? In this pv magazine Webinar, experts from SMA and Fraunhofer ISE will present real-world data on rooftop PV system safety and argue that some claims made about certain system architectures might not be as robust as claimed.
Reasons for repowering
In many of the world’s more mature PV markets, repowering – the replacement or upgrade of all or part of an existing PV system – is an increasingly common strategy for asset owners looking to boost their returns or overcome performance issues caused by aging components. There is, however, much more to consider than simply hardware replacement, and various risks that need to be managed. In this pv magazine Webinar, SMA introduces services it has developed specifically for the repowering market, and takes us through the whole process via examples from successful projects.
Illuminating a more effective way to optimize PV systems
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.
SMA presenta una nueva solución para optimizar los sistemas fotovoltaicos residenciales
Los optimizadores de potencia convencionales y sus procesos ya son algo del pasado, según el fabricante alemán de inversores SMA Solar Technology. En el seminario web la empresa presentará a los profesionales fotovoltaicos la que define una mejor solución para sistemas residenciales que produce más energía y una mayor confiabilidad de por vida.
More power, less components – Can software substitute optimizers?
Higher yield and more safety are some of the arguments of module-level power electronics suppliers. SMA, on the other hand, claims that its string inverters with integrated yield optimization outperform module optimizers regarding safety, performance and lifetime of the whole PV installation.
Greenwashing vs. verifiable sustainability: What’s the difference?
How green is PV? And why does it matter?
Safety through module electronics? SMA advises less is more
Do residents and firefighters gain heightened security from additional solar module shutdown facilities, like Module Level Power Electronics (MLPE), or would they fare better without them? And if MLPE are used, how can they be made safer? Despite TÜV Rheinland finding that fire safety is sufficient and Fraunhofer ISE stating that current PV systems are […]
Emergency power supply – what are we really talking about? Is it a ‘full home backup’, or something else?
What is emergency power, what is ‘full home backup’, and what is the difference between the two? Additionally, what do different homeowners need and how do you install an emergency power or ‘full home backup’ system? These questions will be answered during the next pv magazine Australia webinar – hosted in partnership with SMA. The webinar will dive into what […]
From Volatility to Stability – Reducing currency risk through integrating locally-produced components
SMA is tapping Australian-made medium-voltage expertise, and have integrated it into a new central inverter solution. The SMA Power Skid Australia is expected to result in reduced delivery times and will significantly reduce the considerable currency risk faced by PV project developers. From SMA Bernhard Voll will join the discussion. Quantifying the currency risk, Voll […]
