As Australia and the broader Asia-Pacific region accelerate utility-scale solar and energy storage deployment, design choices made today will shape project safety, reliability, and long-term value. With growing concerns over fire risk, workmanship variability, and rising O&M costs, developers and asset owners are rethinking systems from the ground up to ensure they last.
Designing for safety and longevity means looking beyond modules and inverters to the electrical balance of systems (EBOS). This includes the wiring, cabling, and connections that underpin every solar and storage project. Prefabricated, industrial-grade, plug-and-play solutions are emerging as effective ways to reduce risk, simplify deployment, and improve cost efficiency.
In this pv magazine webinar, Anqi Shi from S&P Global Commodity Insights will provide an overview of APAC and Australia’s solar and storage trends. Aaron Zadeh of Shoals Technologies Group will share strategies for designing safer, longer-lasting systems using prefabricated EBOS. Bruno Martins of Beyond Electrical will offer field-based insights into eBOS safety and reliability.
Join us to explore how smarter design choices can safeguard solar and storage projects against tomorrow’s risks.
