SUMMARY:AFSIA webinar: Sun meets Water
DESCRIPTION:Even more than access to electricity\, access to (drinkable) water can be a challenge across Africa. Luckily\, more and more ingenious technology is being developed to use existing water resources for irrigation or for human consumption. \nThese technologies are inextricably linked to solar as this often is the only way to power them. \nIn this webinar we will learn about solutions combining solar energy and water and changing the lives of millions across Africa. \nDuring this webinar we will address \n\nHow Genius Watter manages to deliver drinkable water in the most extreme environments thanks to solar energy\nHow Aptech Africa plans to impact the agricultural output of Uganda by making irrigation affordable through its solar-powered PAY-N-PUMP solution for small-scale farmers\nWhy solar is the most economical choice when it comes to irrigation and how investors such as InfraCo Africa are supporting developers to offer pre-financed solar irrigation solutions\nHow floating solar could be a real game-changer in the African large-scale solar projects industry and legal and contractual aspects need to be considered for such projects\n\nThe webinar will give ample time to listeners to engage with and ask questions to the panelists at the end of their presentations. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:webinar - Risk vs. reward: Optimizing energy yield with 182mm wafers
DESCRIPTION:The shift to larger wafer formats has been by far the most important trend in the PV supply chain over the past year. While other sizes are also being introduced to the market\, the 182mm product is initially expected to represent the largest share. And it is viewed by many as the optimal way to ensure considerable gains in energy yield whist minimizing disruption to supply chain and end markets. \nIn this pv magazine Webinar\, produced in partnership with Jinko Solar\, we’ll delve into these claims surrounding modules based on the 182mm wafer\, taking a closer look at Jinko’s Tiger pro module series. We’ll demonstrate how the Tiger pro achieves savings of more than 2 cents per watt over the previous generation of PV modules\, and why it offers the most effective strategy in terms overall investment cost and rate of return. We’ll also take a look at the market dynamics driving PV this year\, and examine the technologies and strategies likely to come out on top. \nPV InfoLink Chief Analyst Corrine Lin will take us through what we can expect to see in 2021 – as products based on new\, larger wafer formats begin to roll off production lines in significant quantity\, and the market gains new insight into optimal cost/performance strategies\, both in manufacturing and further downstream. Waleed Alhallaj\, Business Development Manager for the Middle East and North Africa at Jinko Solar\, will demonstrate the Tiger Pro’s potential for higher yields\, and how this allows it to achieve savings of more than two cents per watt when it comes to balance of systems costs. \nQuestions can be submitted beforehand or during the webinar through a chat window. Mark Hutchins\, editor at pv magazine\, will be the moderator of this webinar. We look forward to your participation! \nRegister here

SUMMARY:webinar - On-site solar and sustainable electrification in sub-Saharan Africa
DESCRIPTION:On-site solar has the potential to contribute to increasing access to affordable\, reliable\, sustainable\, and modern energy (UN Sustainable Development Goal 7) for businesses and citizens across sub-Saharan Africa. The commercial and industrial (C&I) rooftop market segment has shown strong growth in recent years\, with developers seeking to circumvent administrative barriers and grid issues associated with of large-scale solar projects. \nThere is also a strong market incentive for C&I customers to develop on-site solar projects as it can contribute to their competitiveness. Recent studies have shown that on-site solar is cheaper than electricity tariffs paid by C&I clients in seven markets in sub-Saharan Africa . Furthermore\, on-site solar installations coupled with storage can also provide electricity more reliably than the grid in several markets. In addition to this\, cost reductions and novel business models have made solar accessible for many citizens in sub-Saharan Africa where only 48% of the population had access to electricity in 2018 . Since 2015\, Pay-as-You-Go (PAYG) business models that allow first-time African consumers to buy solar systems on a rent-to-own basis have connected to 5 million households in Africa to off-grid power. \nIn this webinar\, SolarPower Europe in collaboration with GET.invest – a European programme supported by the European Union\, Germany\, Sweden\, the Netherlands\, and Austria – will gather European and African experts of on-site solar to explore the existing opportunities for on-site solar in sub-Saharan Africa. The webinar will include a presentation introducing the main trends\, challenges\, and opportunities for on-site solar in sub-Saharan Africa. The presentation will be followed by an open discussion that will focus on the technical and business innovations that are bringing sustainable electricity to sub-Saharan Africa. \nregister here

SUMMARY:SEforALL Youth Summit 2021
DESCRIPTION:Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG7) calls for affordable\, reliable\, sustainable and modern energy for all by 2030. Yet we are nowhere close to being on track to achieving it. With only a decade left to provide universal electricity and clean cooking access\, dramatically improve global energy efficiency and increase the share of renewables in the energy mix\, we need immediate action to be taken by a wide range of energy stakeholders. \nThere are currently around 1.8 billion people between the ages of 10-24. And these youth must live with the consequences of today’s action or inaction on SDG7 and the climate crisis for decades to come. This is why youth should have a central role in shaping the sustainable energy transition. If we’re to meet SDG7 by 2030\, the innovation\, commitment and drive of young leaders is not just desirable—it is essential. \nSEforALL will host the first ever SEforALL Youth Summit\, to be held 9-11 February 2021. This virtual summit aims to: \n\n\n\n\nEducate youth on the scope and importance of SDG7 for global development\nConnect youth across the globe to networks\, academic and career opportunities in the energy sector\nInspire youth to actively participate in achieving SDG7 during the Decade of Action\n\nYouth will have the opportunity to network with peers from around the world and interact with key figures from government\, the UN\, businesses and international organizations and with other inspirational speakers from the sustainable energy movement. \nYoung people aged 15-30 will be able to register for the summit from mid-January. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Innovative financing for African solar
DESCRIPTION:Financing can make or break a solar opportunity and it is key to have knowledge of and access to the appropriate sources of financing to be successful in this industry. \nBut some companies are more creative than others and have pushed the thinking of novel financing approaches for different segments of the solar industry. \nThis session will shed light on the innovative financing approaches of some of the most successful solar companies in Africa. Our guest companies are truly different in the way they address financing of their respective business activities and this is probably one key element of their ongoing success. \nDuring this webinar we will address \n\nThe impact of carbon credits to finance the pico-solar industry (Namene Solar)\nHow crowdfunding and block-chain technology can combine to create one of the most powerful C&I financing mechanism in South Africa (The Sun Exchange)\n\nThe webinar will give ample time to listeners to engage with and ask questions to the panelists at the end of their presentations. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:e-conference: Using end-user subsidies to achieve universal energy access
DESCRIPTION:Solar home systems\, productive use equipment\, mini grids\, and other decentralized renewable technologies transform the lives and livelihoods of those living in energy poverty\, and have provided first time access to millions of low income and rural households. Yet even before the COVID-19 pandemic\, estimates projected that hundreds of millions of people would still be unable to afford off-grid solar solutions by 2030. The impact of COVID-19 has pushed a further 70 million people into extreme poverty\, intensifying this “affordability gap”. \nEnd-user subsidies\, which directly reduce costs for consumers\, have the potential to address the affordability challenge and enable energy access for the most vulnerable communities. However\, for them to be as effective as possible\, they must be considered alongside other enablers\, such as supportive fiscal policy and supply side subsidies. In addition\, as end-user subsidies are complex and create the risk of market distortion – which can hamper other energy access efforts – they need to be designed very carefully. \nThis event will explore the ‘smart’ design of end-user subsidies to address this complexity and uncover solutions. It will have a particular focus on stand alone solar technologies. \nAt the event\, participants will: \n\nJoin energy access experts as they explore how end-user subsidies can fit within the ‘tool-kit’ of public financing solutions to achieve universal energy access\nShare their own experience and insights around end-user subsidy design challenges in the off-grid solar standalone space and ‘smart’ solutions\nLearn from\, and participate in the design of\, four pilot standalone solar end-user subsidy country programs\nIdentify clear next steps to advance clean energy access for hundreds of millions of people living in energy poverty\n\nFor further background on end-user subsides\, supply side subsidies and smart subsidy design\, please click HERE.

SUMMARY:webinar: Key benefits of DC coupling ESS solutions
DESCRIPTION:Until now\, AC-coupled systems have been the solution of choice for coupling large battery storage systems to PV power plants\, due to their lower costs. These involve two or more energy systems (PV and storage systems or only storage systems) working separately from one another on the DC side. The energy paths are then coupled together on the AC side upstream of the connection to the medium-voltage grid / Point of Interconnection (POI)\, hence the name of AC coupling. \nIn the case of high DC/AC ratio\, the power limitation of POI has become another obstacle to increasing the revenue of photovoltaic power plants. Traditional storage plus solar applications have involved the coupling of independent and PV inverters at an AC bus. The equipment cost is high\, the technology is complicated\, and the system reliability can be poor. \nJoin this PV Tech TechTalk Product series webinar with major PV inverter manufacturer and ESS provider Sungrow to fully understand the key benefits and applications of DC-coupling solutions for utility-scale PV power plants across Europe. \nKey points: \n\nLearn about the key benefits of using Sungrow’s ST3727KWH(L)-D1250HV+SG3125HV-MV DC-coupling solution\nUnderstand how the DC-coupling solution provides essential functions for future proofing ESS integration and operation\nFind out why the system comes with minimalized system costs compared with AC solutions in certain cases\, enhanced energy conversion performance and higher levels of reliability and durability\n\nRegister here

SUMMARY:webinar: Corporate PPAs in Africa
DESCRIPTION:Across the globe\, renewable energy generators are increasingly entering into corporate power purchase agreements (PPAs) – a long-term contract that allows corporates to secure a supply of clean electricity for the long-term and at a competitive price. Corporate renewable PPAs can also limit market risk exposure over the contract period and are therefore essential when state revenue stabilization mechanisms are unavailable. These two benefits make PPAs an effective tool to drive a cost-effective energy transition\, supporting the competitiveness of the industries. The potential for this market segment is immense\, considering that the electricity demand of overall commercial and industrial (C&I) sectors is two-thirds of the world’s end-use of electricity. \nWhile in some parts of the world like the US and Europe corporate PPAs are on the uptake\, Sub-Saharan African countries may face specific\, mainly regulatory challenges in this regard. These include strict licence requirements and lack of net-metering options. Addressing these barriers can be the key to help unlock the corporate renewable energy PPA market in Africa. \nIn this webinar\, SolarPower Europe in collaboration with GET.invest – a European programme supported by the European Union\, Germany\, Sweden\, the Netherlands\, and Austria – invite you to explore the opportunities and barriers for corporate sourcing of renewable electricity in Africa. We will bring together European and African experts to discuss how corporate PPAs in Africa could be supported on the regulatory\, technical\, and financial level. \nRegister here
