Full-transparency quality assurance – new and enhanced testing, monitoring, and material controls
Claims of high-quality, highly durable solar modules are regularly made by manufacturers, and warranties are being extended. But how are quality assurance practices keeping step with the claims being made? And how can durable, high performance PV modules be produced while new cell and module technologies, formats and materials are being adopted at an ever-increasing rate?
Filling in the gaps: The evolution of high-density module design
In this pv magazine Webinar, developed in partnership with Q Cells, we will examine some of the different approaches to high-density module design that are appearing on the market, placing recent progress within the context of other developments in the module market, and examining the areas where solutions are still needed.
Optimizing bifacial gain and balancing investment costs
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.
LeTID and the future of module degradation testing – control for defects to deliver lower LCOE
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.
