Integrating TOPCon: PV markets and systems
The new year will see n-type solar cell technologies, and tunnel-oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) in particular, build on a successful year in 2022 and continue to grow their share in the global PV module market. In this pv magazine Webinar, we’ll hear exactly how this growth is expected to shape up in 2023 and the following years from a top market analyst. And then we’ll take a closer look at the technology behind TOPCon with module maker Trina Solar, who will take us through the workings of its latest Vertex N module series, and the process of integrating these modules into a PV system to ensure all their potential advantages are best realized in the field.
Responsible solar: enabling true supply chain transparency through comprehensive due diligence
Discussion around supply chain due diligence will very likely remain a concern throughout 2023. Join this pv magazine Webinar to get informed of the latest developments, strategies, and join the discussion to share your insights.
The IRA Impact on U.S. Clean Energy Manufacturing
In this pv magazine Webinar, together with the experts from Clean Energy Associates (CEA) we will discuss the incentives created by the Inflation Reduction Act and how they can boost domestic solar manufacturing in the United States. We’ll also look at the progress on the ground in terms of manufacturing announcements to date and examine some of the barriers to domestic manufacturing that remain, and what can be done about them.
Hail risk in solar: Identify, quantify, and mitigate
In this pv magazine Webinar, we will examine how solar project hail risk is increasing due to a perfect storm of market and technology changes including sharing lessons about and best practices for identifying, quantifying, and mitigating severe hail risk based on project location and fielded technology.
Understanding Australia’s tantalizing battery market
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.
New entrants bring new perspectives: Hybrid inverter series for C&I applications
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.
TOPCon heads to the rooftop
This year has seen solar manufacturers begin what is shaping up to be a major shift toward n-type technologies, and investors are keen to see these technologies in action in ‘real world’ installations. In this pv magazine Webinar, we take a look at the latest in TOPCon technology from one of n-type’s earliest backers, and share case study details from one developer already installing these modules and monitoring their performance in the field.
Understanding utility-scale solar and storage operations and maintenance cost drivers
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.
How to protect BESS to increase reliability and maximize return on investments
Electrical overcurrent, ground faults, arc-flash, and transient overvoltage are major concerns for battery energy storage system (BESS) operators and owners. To protect the system and extend the life of the equipment, a comprehensive circuit protection strategy is necessary. But selecting and implementing an appropriate one is no easy business. In this pv magazine Webinar, we will be exploring key components of the battery energy storage system, understand different types of architecture, learn how to design in safety with circuit protection, and discover real-world examples utilizing circuit protection to increase reliability, system efficiencies, and ROI.
Reduce LCOE and long-term O&M costs in utility-scale installations
In this pv magazine Webinar, we will learn how to simplify an EBOS installation to unlock ongoing solar field O&M savings and discuss utility-scale solar best practices that lead to lower cost of energy (LCOE).
