SUMMARY:Energy Efficiency: A Vital Strategy for the Energy Transition
DESCRIPTION:About the event:\n“Energy efficiency is the workhorse of the clean energy world. Though solar and other renewable energy technologies usually take the spotlight\, energy efficiency often works quietly in the background\, making huge strides in lowering emissions without the fanfare.” – Kate Zerrenner\, Researcher\, Harvard Business School \nAs elsewhere\, developing countries in Africa and the Caribbean gain from energy efficiency in multiple ways\, including increased energy security\, job creation\, and environmental mitigation. A focus on energy efficiency in parallel with new sustainable energy supply can help reduce energy intensity\, realize energy savings\, lower the carbon footprint\, create jobs and markets for energy efficiency related products and services\, and allow electricity generation expansion to meet increasing demand in a timely\, low-cost\, and sustainable way. Energy efficiency is a critical tool for financial viability and energy security as energy demand and the pursuit of clean energy options continue to intensify in these developing countries. \nOutside the community of energy practitioners\, there is very limited awareness of energy efficiency initiatives in African and Caribbean countries. This EIN Webinar will provide insight into the status and effectiveness of energy efficiency initiatives in these countries and will outline ways in which energy efficiency measures can be made more well-known and relevant to the general populace in these countries.\n\nRegister here

SUMMARY:Agrovoltaics: How to integrate solar energy production with agricultural activities Inbox
DESCRIPTION:Agrovoltaics\, also known as agro-photovoltaics\, consists of using the same area of land for both solar energy and agricultural products. Solar panels coexist with crops in the same land. \nDesigning agrovoltaics projects is a balancing act to optimize energy generation with crop yields\, however it can save water and even augment crop production in very hot climates. However\, as NIMBYism grows against large-scale PV solar projects\, agrovoltaics may prove to be the key to alleviate local opposition to development of projects. \nIn this webinar we will analyse the design\, construction\, operation and maintenance of agrovoltaics projects and the most efficient business model combining solar PV generation systems with the development of agricultural activities. \nJoin this session to: \n\nLearn to design\, build operate and maintain agrovoltaics plants hitting the optimal balance between generation of electricity and of crops\nUnderstand how to define an optimal integrated management model for the O&M activities of the photovoltaic power plant and agricultural enterprises\nExplore efficiency maximizing business models which favor different aspects of the project depending on location and requirement\nAnalyze real experimental agrovoltaics projects under planning and development\n\nRegister here

SUMMARY:Module wind load resistance: Standards vs. reality
DESCRIPTION:Comprehensive testing at every stage has been vital to the solar industry’s impressive growth to date – investors\, insurers\, and other project stakeholders all need some assurance that this still young technology can live up to expectations\, particularly when those expectations are centered around the entire system being installed outdoors and left to the elements for a lifetime of 20 years or more. \nWhen it comes to trackers\, proving reliable wind resistance is among the most vital of these tests. However\, a closer look at common wind loading standards reveals that they do not accurately represent the way the wind loads the module. In this pv magazine Webinar\, we’ll look at this in detail\, as well as how bifacial and large format modules impact the maximum wind speed that can be supported by the modules and tracker system. \nWe’ll be joined by Yarrow Fewless\, CPP Wind Engineering\, who will demonstrate how the wind pressure PV systems are under in the field often does not match with what they’re tested against\, leaving the door open for costly failures after installation. \nFollowing on from Yarrow; GameChange Solar’s Scott Van Pelt will take us through their module testing procedure that more accurately simulate the distribution of stress caused by wind in the field\, and how findings gained from these have influenced the design of the company’s latest tracker system. \nFinally\, Daniel Chang of RETC will share his expertise on different combinations of module and racking system\, and how the latest round of module technology upgrades – in particular bifacial and the switch to larger formats – affect how the mechanical rating of the system and therefor the maximum wind speed it can support. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:How to Spot a Faulty Solar Performance Model
DESCRIPTION:Many solar developers assume that all solar performance models are created equal. \nHowever\, many different solar performance models are available\, and using the wrong one can damage your chances at closing a project\, or expose you to liability you may not realize. \nGetting the model right matters for solar developers for a number of reasons\, including the risk of over-promising if a model fails to show important design faults that will hamper performance. What’s more\, some developers are not able to tune their numbers to win the deal\, while others aren’t getting enough credit for the good work they are already doing. \nThis pv magazine Webinar explains how solar projects can become constrained\, and developers outright burned\, by using the wrong solar performance model when generating sales proposals. We’ll go in depth into the pros and cons of different performance modeling approaches\, identify where each one has blind spots\, and show how to spot modeling-related shortcuts in a competitor’s bid. \nPv magazine Webinar content:\n• Overview of different modeling approaches\n• Pros & cons of each approach\n• How industry technology trends are intersecting the latest developments in performance models\n• Key factors driving temperature loss\, and how to communicate that effectively\n• How different PV modules perform based on their cell type and other physics\n• Why some types of inverter clipping losses are upwards of 10 times more critical than others\n• Q&A \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Shade modelling for utility-scale PV plants: Why it matters and what you should do about it
DESCRIPTION:The utility-scale PV market is poised for exponential growth and yet the industry still has many fundamental opportunities to improve on standards and best practice. Tracker shade loss has been one of those topics that deserve more attention\, but has been typically handled by derate factors rather than trying to accurately forecast the loss over the life of the system. This has led to a majority of projects in the industry that have been shown to underperform against plant yield expectations and yet the low hanging fruit for more accurate financial modeling of plants is not being explored. \nThe industry needs to take a closer look at shade modeling as project portfolios are primed to grow in project numbers and investors and owners need scalable ways to reduce risk and rely on the forecasted return on investment. \nJoin Nextracker’s subject matter experts\, Aron Dobos and Neelesh Umachandran\, and Rounak Kharait\, director of solar energy assessments at DNV\, for a webinar about why shade modelling matters and giving recommendations on what the solar industry should do about it. \nRegister here
