Webinars

With the emergence of bifacial modules, tracker suppliers are in the process of figuring out the new optimal set-up with regard to tracker height, row spacing and tracking algorithms. The old paradigm of merely tracking azimuth position no longer applies.

In this webinar, we are joined by Soltec who believe they have a solution, and will share with you their expertise in tracking with bifacial modules. Colin Caufield, VP of Sales USA and Javier Guerrero, R&D Engineer PV from Soltec will present a summary of the results obtained from September 2018 to June 2019 at Soltec’s Bifacial Tracking Evaluation Center (BiTEC) in Livermore, California.

In this pv magazine webinar we will discuss the necessity and complexity of establishing a bespoke wind design code for single-axis PV trackers. We will also clarify how project developers and asset owners can assess wind tunnel reports and validate findings.

As developers are looking to install on hilly sites and sloped terrain for new projects, some are depending on tracker algorithms as a cure-all for undulating topography. Join our webinar to find out what combination of steps can be taken to mitigate energy loss.

We are currently seeing more and more heterojunction modules coming onto the market. So we asked Panasonic, the pioneer of this technology, to focus on reasons why HIT modules last longer and yield more than standard modules, and to explain the pros and cons.

En el próximo webinar de pv magazine analizaremos dos soluciones para reducir el LCoE en grandes proyectos y en el segmento de la generación distribuida (GD) en toda América Latina. JinkoSolar, que colabora en la organización del seminario web, presentará sus módulos Cheetah y Swan, y detallará los nuevos estándares que han establecido.

The three most important influence parameters to achieve the longest life cycle of a solar tracking system are standard structural design, corrosion and wind stability. Can the tracker system be bankable for 30 years? And how does the wind stability relate to reliability?

In this pv magazine webinar, we will assess the impact of wind stability on bankability, and deep dive into a solution to improve wind stability.  Our webinar partner, IDEEMATEC will present their unique rope system as the solution, which increases reliability. The result: through structural measures the risk of torsional galloping is more or less eliminated.

As utility scale projects and distributed generation (DG) gain momentum in the Middle East and North Africa, what part will ultra-high efficiency modules play? And how much can choosing the right module minimize LCoE, and maximize IRR in the Middle East and African regions?

Join our webinar to find out how module technology innovation can increase production yields in Middle East and African regions, as well as how ultra-high efficiency modules will enhance reliability and performance and reduce risk.

As community solar is a relatively new concept, it is critical to understand what makes a successful community solar project and how to obtain smart financing for long-term success. According to our webinar partner Standard Solar, the foundation for good community solar projects are good partnerships. Join our webinar and learn step-by-step how great projects happen.

This webinar will feature three industry experts discussing community solar and why it ‘takes a village’ to execute successful projects. From the initial vision to project siting to financing to subscribers, learn how great projects happen

Tracking is worth the effort when the yield gains exceed the additional costs of acquiring and running a tracker. When using bifacial modules, however, the tracking algorithm should be changed in a way to maximize the sum of front and rear side yield. In this pv magazine webinar we will discuss the Trina Solar turnkey solution, TrinaPro with bifacial n-type modules and single axis trackers, and look into the planning process for bifacial plants.

Ensuring proper system design is key to installation success for rooftop solar PV project developers. K2 Systems says it streamlines the workflow with a new free software planning tool, automizing the planning process with information of different manufacturers in “cloud-based synchronicity”. In this pv magazine webinar, we explore the new feature.
