Storage & Smart Grids

In this pv magazine Webinar, we will discover more about how autarky can be achieved in residential and commercial applications, and its benefits. New energy management and storage solutions are coming onto the market that allow businesses and homes to achieve autarky – essentially providing an off-grid system for grid-tied premises.

In this pv magazine Webinar, we will share insights on how battery design and engineering platform pvDesign is being used, having recently been expanded to include AC-coupled battery storage systems.

In the rapidly changing PV inverter market, innovation is front and central. From the ever-growing array of smart features to monitoring, as well as integrating storage and providing support for EV charging and heat pumps, new products are bringing fresh competition delivering complete solutions. In this pv magazine Webinar, we will learn about Solinteg’s 20-50 kW hybrid inverter and its many smart features ahead of its market launch. A special treat, the outfit will be opening the doors of its lab in Slovakia and allowing us a sneak peek into the reliability testing processes performed there.

In this pv magazine Webinar, leaders from U.S. national laboratories will share data collected on factors and drivers of operations and maintenance (O&M) costs in utility-scale solar and energy storage systems. We will review how particular storage technologies were selected, O&M data collection processes, and ongoing challenges in this space.

Effectively procuring energy storage is a real challenge today. Automotive buyers are dominating demand for the lithium-ion market, and battery prices have started increasing for the first time. To make matters more challenging, not all battery manufacturers are equal – engaging new suppliers can carry additional commercial and technical risk. In this pv magazine Webinar we will offer a guide to navigating those risks as a buyer of energy storage systems.

How do we get a higher return from our projects over time? What’s the best way to attach energy storage to solar in new construction or as a retrofit? In what ways can digital tools and automation help and reduce risk over time? These questions and more will be answered in an interactive pv magazine Webinar with our panellists.

We will discuss the world-wide need for battery storage, the challenges that have plagued the sector, and how to best overcome them.

We will go into more details to understand AC- and DC-coupled BESS, discuss how old and new batteries can be combined, and dig into safety optimization.

EV ownership is driving solar take-up, and solar is driving EV take-up as well. These virtuous cycles just need the right hardware, and smart software to flourish. In this pv magazine Webinar, we’ll look at Sungrow’s new EV charger, the latest addition for its residential portfolio in Europe as the EV market continues to grow.

In this pv magazine Webinar, two new inverters and a battery energy storage system (BESS) from German-originated power electronics specialist Sunways will be announced. Inverter trends and energy storage technology will also be discussed, including what installers should know and be able to pass on to customers.

In this pv magazine Webinar, home storage and its opportunities, challenges, and future are set to be discussed, dissected, and evaluated.
