The bigger the module, the bigger the ROI? Let’s crunch the numbers!
Is bigger always better? Had this year not already been dubbed the year of Covid-19, the solar industry might have remembered 2020 as the super-high-power modules year. In this pv magazine Webinar, we will discuss how EPCs and developers can maximize output and return on investment for their next project using these latest generation modules.
Is your company capturing the 2020 safe harbor?
In this pv magazine Webinar, we will discuss with Paul Wormser of CEA and Elias Hinckley of K&L Gates the IRS’ Safe Harbor Provision for Solar Energy Projects and how to take advantage of it.
Solar Resource Data for Project Development & Financing
While investment in solar energy has taken off considerably in the last decade, the science of investing is not a perfect one, and potential players require access to any and all relevant data relating to a project before they make big-bet decisions.
The Evolving Role of PV in Future Energy Systems
With the share of photovoltaics growing rapidly everywhere in the world, the energy transition is entering a new phase. For the next leg, the integration of PV will become much more important and PV plants will have to become smarter, more flexible and more integrated into overall energy networks.
Back-Contact’s Move to the Front
Back-contact technologies – metal wrap through (MWT) and interdigitated back contact (IBC) modules – promise high energy yields per square meter and are already making a significant impact in markets for residential rooftop and small commercial PV. In this pv magazine Webinar, we partner with leading materials company DSM for a closer look at how these technologies differ from conventional module designs, and the technology roadmap that could lead to bigger market impacts over the coming years.
Why Large-Scale Solar Alone no Longer Makes Sense
With grid congestion and curtailment plaguing utility-scale PV development in many parts of Australia and the proposed 5-minute settlement by AEMO, live from October 2021, the case for coupling solar arrays to large-scale storage is becoming increasingly compelling. But how can solar + storage projects be effectively executed? And what are the keys for developing a successful business model?
Data-driven monitoring starts at the inverter
Like so many other industries in 2020, operating a PV plant is all about data. Inverters, long known as the ‘brains’ of a PV system, are still getting smarter and, as the first component in a PV system where data on the energy being generated is gathered, have a key role to play here. In this pv magazine Webinar, we will take a closer look at the features of Sungrow’s CX Series inverters.
Large Scale Battery Energy Storage Safety: Trends & Standards
As battery energy storage technologies assume a bigger role in the global transition to renewable energy, the importance of developing and operating a safe system is paramount. In this pv magazine Webinar together with our initiative partner Clean Energy Associates (CEA), we will look at current safety trends in battery energy storage system design and installation, along with a review of relevant safety standards in the U.S.
Wind directionality and stowing position: A new nexus for single-axis tracker safety
In this pv magazine Webinar, we will welcome five experts to discuss wind directionality and stowing position of single-axis trackers, and how to avoid and mitigate common mistakes to build trust in the solar industry.
Bigger, better and more powerful: large wafers and HJT combine
The PV module technology landscape has an unavoidable feature in 2020: bigger modules with higher power output. But do bigger modules based on standard cell technologies really deliver? pv magazine Australia is partnering with Risen Energy Australia to examine what innovation looks like from the wafer, right through to the cell and a module – to investigate why 210mm wafers and the next-generation of heterojunction can cut through on cost and performance.
