Utility-scale PV in Europe is set for rapid growth in 2021. But with opportunities come challenges, and new large scale solar markets are emerging in new regions and countries. This geographical expansion can mean complications when it comes to grid connection requirements, supply chain management, and system design and construction. Join this special pv magazine Webinar to hear from market analysts, technologists, and project financiers, to learn how the new generation of solar project components can unlock 2021’s market opportunities.

In this pv magazine Webinar, we’ll take a closer look at Sungrow’s SG3125HV-30 central inverter, its ability to connect storage on the DC-side and, together with the Inaccess PPC/EMS, the litany of grid ancillary services – like voltage control, power frequency control, fault management and integration on weak grid algorithms.

The shift to larger wafer formats has been by far the most important trend in the PV supply chain over the past year. While other sizes are also being introduced to the market, the 182mm product is initially expected to represent the largest share. And it is viewed by many as the optimal way to ensure considerable gains in energy yield whist minimizing disruption to supply chain and end markets. We’ll delve into these claims surrounding modules based on the 182mm wafer, taking a closer look at Jinko’s Tiger pro module series.

Big data and artificial intelligence have a place in the solar industry – and that is in the maintenance sector. The inanimate nature of PV modules easily tricks one into thinking that all that needs taking care of is the owner sitting back and watching how the sun shines onto the array generating electricity and cash. Reality is much more complicated. This is why solar monitoring systems are continually evolving, much like the components they are designed to check. Our webinar partner and monitoring system provider, Solare Datensysteme – Solar-log, has concluded a process in which the company jointly developed the latest product iteration, with a selection of its customers.

Utility scale solar developers are increasingly factoring in very long project lifetimes in their financial models. Given this, expectations for the durability of the components have never been higher. The mounting structure is literally the component on which the weight of these expectations rest – whether fixed tilt or single-axis tracker. But is the material from which the mounting structure is constructed built to last 25, 30 or even more years in the field?

According to the Solar Energy Industry Association (SEIA), one third of new residential solar PV systems in the U.S. will be coupled with energy storage by 2025. Even today, more than 70 percent of solar installers are already offering storage – but many of them still struggle to convert buyers successfully. If you’re thinking about adding storage as a service offering for the first time – or simply trying to fine tune your current process – this webinar is for you.

La nueva serie de módulos Tiger PRO de JinkoSolar y, en particular, los productos con backsheets transparentes serán analizados en un Webinar de pv magazine, en el cual se discutirá sobre si y cómo estos productos pueden mejorar el coste nivelado de la electricidad (LCOE) de los proyectos fotovoltaicos a gran escala en los mercados solares de América Latina.

Hail is becoming a bigger financial risk for insurers, and they’re not covering all the damage. As glass gets thinner and storms get worse, solar asset owners need to take notice. In this pv magazine Webinar, we will discuss the technological and meteorological trends that are leading to more frequent, severe and destructive hailstorms, as well as how projects are traditionally insured against hail-related damages.

Claims of high-quality, highly durable solar modules are regularly made by manufacturers, and warranties are being extended. But how are quality assurance practices keeping step with the claims being made? And how can durable, high performance PV modules be produced while new cell and module technologies, formats and materials are being adopted at an ever-increasing rate?

Dans ce pv magazine Webinar, Stephan Padlewski et Lucie Garreau de la société DuPont discuteront des solutions innovantes pour prolonger la durée de vie des panneaux photovoltaïques. Au cours du webinaire, nous présenterons aussi des cas spécifiques de failles sur les panneaux.
