Reaching for the rooftops
The solar industry is evolutionary, with costs and system efficiencies continually improving. Innovations like single axis trackers, storage, autonomous systems, bifacial modules, half-cut cells, reduced degradation, and multi MPPT inverters are helping to boost performance. Creative project owners and developers, meanwhile, continue to implement new ideas to maximize returns. This makes working as a technical solar PV consultant a fascinating prospect. With this in mind, Mathieu Labour, a partner at Everoze, reports about an exciting way to retrofit operational solar rooftop projects that was recently discovered in France.
The owner of a 10-year old solar rooftop system will likely be interested in replacing older modules and inverters with today’s established technology, taking heed of the lessons learned and best practices established from preceding years. This may sound appealing, yet it is necessary to receive proper authorization from the public offtaker of the power …
