Webinars

Solar and other renewable energy sources are rapidly growing their share in the energy mix all over the world. And as this grows, so too does the importance of energy storage in balancing the intermittent output of solar and wind and ensuring electricity is available wherever its needed. In this pv magazine Webinar, we’ll focus in on the role of storage across the Middle East and Africa regions, where we not only see batteries being deployed to support regional grids, but to provide backup power to commercial operations, form microgrids, and firm up the supply to off grid and rural electrification projects.

Join this pv magazine Webinar to learn what factors to consider when selecting a solar data service to support the lifecycle of your solar projects.

Since their introduction midway through the last decade, half cut cells have grown to become an industry standard technology adopted by virtually every module manufacturer. And as we see larger formats and other innovations that require cells to be cut into three or more pieces, the trend is only set to grow further; and this places the processes used to cut the cells at the heart of PV manufacturing. In this pv magazine Webinar we’ll take a closer look at the innovative thermal laser separation developed by 3D-Micromac, comparing this to the traditional ‘scribe and break’ processes still widely used in PV manufacturing, and taking a look at Voltec Solar’s production line in France where the TLS tool is in operation.

Achieving the best balance between cost and performance is the key point when planning and operating a solar PV power plant. In this pv magazine Webinar, our partner Ingeteam will introduce its new central inverter; the Ingecon Sun 3Power C Series. Alongside high-power density and a closed-circuit liquid cooling system previously only available in Ingeteam’s power converters for other applications, the inverter is packed with artificial intelligence and other features that promise to optimize O&M services and bring down costs across the full lifetime of a PV system – and these will be the focus of our webinar discussion.

Why are supply chain transparency and sustainability important? Are there tangible business advantages? Our upcoming pv magazine Webinar seeks to address these questions, by hearing from experts in both solar and the electronics industry, to understand what solar companies can do to ensure supply chain best practice.

In this pv magazine Webinar, we will be going behind the curtain at Sungrow to peak in at their processes from prototype to mass production, including the exploration of some of their most advanced quality test processes and equipment. This will include some new light on recent innovative features in the residential sphere including PID Recovery and Arc Fault Circuit Interruption with Sungrow’s new 3-phase and 1-phase PV inverters.

The future residential energy supply is complex and challenging for installers: solar panels on the roof, battery storage nearby, and an electric vehicle in the garage. And, in 2021, energy management systems for smart control to maximize self-consumption, and the share of green electricity in households.

For a number of reasons, replacing all of the inverters in an existing PV project is an increasingly common strategy among PV project owners, particularly for projects that have been in operation longer than five years. This revamping can bring advantages in terms of higher energy yields and lower operations costs, but it is also a complex process with potentially broad implications. In this pv magazine Webinar, produced in partnership with Sungrow, we’ll shine a spotlight on this revamping process, offering insight from successfully completed projects.

Join this webinar and learn more about wind effects on big modules, aerodynamic testing, structure codes, and how to ensure your next project is safe.

While the quality of materials and components has thus far been a particular focus for manufacturers looking to offer premium products that stand the test of time, sustainability is increasingly on the agenda as end-of-life waste mounts, and customer and policy demands change. A growing number of manufacturers recognize the benefits of integrating sustainable design and production principles, like lower long-term costs, due to material reuse, for example, without compromising on other aspects.
