Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) is dividing the solar industry. There are ardent defenders of the single MPPT-channel approach and those that cannot seem to get enough channels. To understand the conflict, it is necessary to know how the technology works in string-inverter based utility-scale projects and what it does. Is this a crucial inverter feature, what are the tangible advantages in the design and over the lifecycle of a PV system?

As commercial PV is becoming more competitive, it’s critical to improve business efficiency, close more deals, and increase ASPs (average selling price). However, there are numerous challenges in commercial PV systems that can make the design and planning process complicated. With innovative and easy-to-use design and simulation tools, installers can become more efficient in the sales, planning, and design process. Join this webinar to learn how to overcome some of the top challenges in the design of commercial PV systems.

Hot-dip galvanized steel promises improved robustness and durability. Nevertheless, there are shocking findings from photovoltaic mounting systems. Steel posts rammed into the damp earth only a few years ago have shown signs of heavy corrosion underground, compromising the stability of the entire installation. Both wrong material selection and incorrect grounding are the culprits of this expensive mistake. In this webinar we will look into real cases, clarify which mistakes have been made in the past and look at how they can be avoided in the future.

There is a difference between maximizing bifacial gain, and cost effectively optimizing a bifacial pv system, which means balancing increased investment costs and energy yield payback. It’s often claimed that bifacial technology can deliver energy yield gains of 20% or more, but where is the line between this potential and the added investment cost required for bifacial optimizations? In the first part of this upcoming webinar, Bruno Wittmer, chief development engineer at PVSyst, will show us how bifacial gain can be maximized through insight gained from system simulations in PVSyst.

This webinar will provide a deep dive into the functions of the O&M monitoring software of Gantner Instruments Environmental Solutions. Experience a live demonstration of the software on a real-world plant and ask your questions about best practices.

Today Bifacial PV is becoming mainstream with capacity available at GW scale and corresponding utility scale projects globally, as the deployment of bifacial PV technology has proven to be the most effective solution to reduce the LCOE and increase the IRR of PV systems. Join our webinar to understand the impact of bifacial modules on the LCOE of the project, including calculating the higher energy generation level for different environmental conditions and installation setup.

il webinar fornirà un’introduzione alla tecnologia bifacciale con riferimento ai moduli ad alta efficienza e alle ultime innovazioni tecnologiche, permettendo allo stesso tempo di conoscere tutti i dettagli e il potenziale dei moduli bifacciali Swan di Jinko attraverso esempi specifici e illustrazioni grafiche. In particolare, verrà illustrato come e quanto i moduli bifacciali possano incrementare il rendimento delle installazioni fotovoltaiche, assicurando così un maggiore ritorno economico.

Light and elevated temperature induced degradation (LeTID) is a pain for investors and EPCs. In this webinar, Q CELLS will openly demonstrate how it ensures that the modules that it produces are LeTID free. The company pioneered research and investigation into this effect several years ago.

System paybacks for commercial and industrial (C&I) rooftop systems throughout Europe can be as low as five to six years. But to do this, the solar array needs to be sized correctly to meet the specific customer need. Additionally, the underlying business case and technical solutions needs to be aligned.

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.
