Webinars

What is agrivoltaics and how can it provide value for the solar industry and the wider community? Our upcoming pv magazine Webinar will discuss the different types of agrivoltaic projects and how they can become part of a circular economy.

In regions where it’s too windy, stow is the most stable position the modules can assume. However, this is done at a much lower wind than the project design wind speed. In this pv magazine Webinar, tracker manufacturer Arctech will show us how increasing the wind speed threshold, allows for increased tracking time, as well as improved stowing parameters, which minimize energy losses when the tracker is in stow, helping increase the overall energy yield of a tracker project.

Suppliers are updating SCADA and monitoring platforms to provide new levels of data acquisition and analytics to provide PV project owners and operators with unparalleled insights into design, performance and O&M. Join this pv magazine Webinar, in partnership with TrinaTracker, to learn more about these developments with a leading PV solution provider. The webinar will see the global launch of the Trina Smart Cloud, including a demo of the platform drawing on real-world data from Trina-supplied projects in the field.

Solar-specific fuses have been developed to operate reliably in varying weather conditions and different times of day, both of which cause fluctuating levels of panel power generation and inconsistent levels of electrical current. They are also designed to cover a wider array of temperature fluctuations. In this pv magazine Webinar, we will learn about the role solar fuses play in projects, as well as how solar fuses are unique compared to general-purpose fuses and how to properly size solar fuses to increase efficiency.

In this pv magazine Webinar, we will be joined by leading industry professionals with experience across every aspect of Australia’s multifaceted large-scale solar market, considering the current state of affairs and the challenges facing a new wave of large-scale development Down Under, the next phase of large-scale development driven by energy storage and green hydrogen and the new world of big modules and innovative designs, and off-grid solutions.

La tecnología de módulos fotovoltaicos avanza rápidamente y los inversores fotovoltaicos siguen la tendencia de la mano. En esta presentación explicaremos el tema de compatibilidad en Inversores Residenciales GoodWe con módulos de potencias +500W, así como diferentes soluciones innovadoras y de fácil instalación para el mercado fotovoltaico en México.

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.

This year has seen a raft of developments in n-type technology, as the PV manufacturing industry looks to keep both efficiency and long-term performance figures rising. There are a few different cell technologies gaining ground under the banner of n-type, however, tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) looks set to be first to gain a real share of the module market. In this pv magazine Webinar, we analyze market trends and the potential for TOPCon over the coming years, and take a closer look at some of the technological developments allowing this. Chinese manufacturer Jolywood will share details of its technological progress and impressive expansion plans for TOPCon, as well as the increased reliability that allowed it to partner with insurance provider Munich Re to offer 30 years of warranty protection to customers.

Regularly working with spreadsheets for solar project and portfolio management can be challenging, inefficient, and hinder collaboration efforts and transparency. Until recently, most project development documents were kept in separate silos, updates were difficult to share, and important changes were sometimes missed altogether.
That picture is changing for the solar industry with the introduction of project management software. With ATLAS, a portfolio management software, FTC Solar is promising to offer the solar industry a “single point of truth” solution.

An increasing number of people choose to design their PV system so it can be used even when the grid power has gone – as a back-up, so to speak. But there are markets where off-grid PV is not the back-up solution, but it is the primary source of power. There are numerous examples ranging from holiday homes and house boats in the south of Europe, to remote farmhouses, and rural regions in Africa and Asia where people don’t always have grid access. To this end, our webinar partner Solis has introduced its latest off-grid inverter which kicks into life at a mere 500 V input voltage.
