The final entries for this year’s pv magazine Award are in, and expert juries in each category are beginning their deliberations to decide on the winners, which will be announced in January. In the meantime, the following pages offer some highlights from the entries received, and a look at the emerging trends across PV technology. On the modules side, we see the move to larger formats getting into full swing, while newer technologies wait in the wings. Balance-of-systems suppliers, meanwhile, have focused their software offerings this year to place ever more granular data in the hands of plant operators, offering new ways to control and optimize energy output.
