Industry awareness and mitigation of PV cell microcracks have improved in recent years, but there are signs that the problem may still be grossly underestimated by many. Microcracks can grow over time into full-fledged cell cracks and begin to have serious impacts on a PV system’s performance and safety. In this pv magazine Webinar, an expert from Clean Energy Associates (CEA) guides us through the risks posed by undetected microcracks, and what module buyers can do to prevent their development.

String inverters continue to grow in capacity to support the growing size and output of high-power and high-current PV modules becoming more normal at utility-scale. And that’s changing the equation for LCOE, at a critical growth point in the solar industry. In this pv magazine Webinar, we’ll hear from Sungrow about its new maximum-power three-phase 352kVA utility string inverter, the SG350HX, and discuss availability, certifications, and how LCOE is affected.

Recent years have seen silicon wafers, solar cells and PV modules introduced to the market in a range of different sizes, as manufacturers seek cost optimization all along the supply chain. And though this move away from standardized dimensions has caused a few disruptions, the industry is generally keen to realize potential for cost reductions where it exists and has been quick to embrace larger format products. In this pv magazine Webinar, we’ll take a closer look at Trina Solar’s latest innovation, producing rectangular shaped cells that promise to revolutionize the industry by packing more watts into shipping containers and onto rooftops and racking systems, bringing big BOS savings for project owners and developers.

In this pv magazine Webinar, we’ll be joined by experts from GoodWe to learn what to consider when defining the different use cases for residential BESS and how to estimate the right system size. We’ll look at how to identify customer load profiles, shed light on the difference between back-up power options, and understand the options for charging batteries from different sources. In addition, we’ll discuss power versus capacity in battery storage systems, and the importance of each, as well as what to consider when selecting technology components, and much more.

The promises of a longer lifetime and better performance under harsh conditions, such as desert heat, are among the key reasons the PV industry is beginning to make the switch to n-type technologies. While the cell technologies themselves are a major factor, there’s a whole lot more to think about when it comes to ensuring long-term reliability for modules in the field. In this pv magazine Webinar, we examine the joint roles of advanced cell technology and proven bill of materials in ensuring reliability as expected lifetimes for PV modules move to 30 years and beyond.

Mainstream PV’s switch to n-type is gathering pace in 2022, and we are already seeing modules based on heterojunction (HJT) and other n-type architectures roll off production lines in increasing numbers. As these modules are deployed in a wider range of projects, the whole industry is keen to see new insight from the operations side. In this pv magazine Webinar, we take a closer look at the technology behind Huasun’s new HJT module series. And we’ll hear from expert project engineers about the benefits and possibilities of working in the field with this new generation of PV modules.

Just as navigation continues to evolve from paper maps to MapQuest, and on to mobile mapping like Google Maps, solar data has the opportunity to iteratively improve and become more insightful and user-friendly.
In this pv magazine Webinar, we will cover how solar industry members can benefit from the use of data in their businesses and introduce the concept of solar intelligence.

Neste pv magazine Webinar, vamos comparar as tecnologias de inversores centrais e string da TBEA para usinas de geração centralizada e investigar quando faz sentido usar cada tipo de tecnologia. A empresa Chinesa de inversores tem as duas tipologias de inversores no seu portfólio e diz-se assim em posição para apresentar uma comparação não tendenciosa.

Supply chain issues, increased interest rates, and a slowing economy are mounting pressures on solar installers today. Many of these economic conditions are out of our control, but there are several tools at the disposal of solar installers to continue growing their business.

In this pv magazine Webinar, together with our partner Aurora Solar, we will demonstrate how solar installers can continue to grow their solar businesses by improving the things that are within their control.

EV ownership is driving solar take-up, and solar is driving EV take-up as well. These virtuous cycles just need the right hardware, and smart software to flourish. In this pv magazine Webinar, we’ll look at Sungrow’s new EV charger, the latest addition for its residential portfolio in Europe as the EV market continues to grow.
