SUMMARY:webinar: Carbon Offsetting: The What\, Why and How of Project Certification
DESCRIPTION:Investors\, businesses and institutions alike are increasingly turning to the carbon market to become more sustainable and offset their carbon emissions. Innovation and new technologies have created new opportunities to finance climate action that not only delivers emissions reductions\, but economic\, health and social benefits too. But how can we know that carbon offsetting projects are effective? \nJoin our webinar to find out what it means to get your projects certified\, why it’s important for carbon offsetting and how to achieve it. We’ll hear from Namene Solar\, who recently received the Gold Standard certification for their solar lights\, and get the carbon-buying perspective from Plan A\, a Berlin startup that enables companies to offset their emissions. We’ll then discuss technology versus nature-based solutions with expert Johannes Ebeling and answer audience questions. \nAgenda \n3:00 – 3:05 – Introduction \n3:05 – 3:25 – How to get projects certified and why it’s important for your carbon strategy – Bernardo Lazo\, Director of Sustainability\, Namene Solar \n3:25 – 3:35 – The buyer perspective on carbon offsetting – Amy McPherson\, People and Culture Manager\, Plan A \n3:40 – 4:15 – Nature-based or technological solutions for carbon offsetting? Interactive panel with Bernardo\, Amy and Johannes Ebeling\, Managing Director of BioCarbon Group \nHosted by Emma Patmore\, Greentech Alliance co-founder & Senior Marketing Strategist at ecoligo. \nThis webinar is organised by the Greentech Alliance\, a global network that supports sustainable companies to transform awareness into action. \n  \nRegister 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: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: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:ARE Technology & Innovation Forum
DESCRIPTION:Innovation is a key driver of economic growth\, development\, as well as climate mitigation and adaptation. In emerging markets\, new high-quality and modular technologies\, such as AI\, advanced GIS mapping\, remote monitoring\, new control software and systems\, as well as innovative energy storage solutions are helping drive last-mile rural electrification with decentralised renewable energy (DRE). \nThese technologies boost efficiency of systems\, increase their longevity and technical sustainability\, help project developers better estimate demand\,  increase financial sustainability of projects\, mitigate climate change and help communities respond to health crises\, for example via the deployment of modular health clinics for rural communities. \nIf technology can be seen as a vehicle to achieve development\, then investments and financing are the fuel that help drive its engine and bring these innovations to market. Investing in technological innovation is thus investing in the future of DRE sector\, progress on all the SDGs and rural socio-economic development. \nIn light of these recognitions\, ARE will organise the “ARE Technology & Innovation Forum” virtually on 27-28 January 2021. \nThe target audiences of the event are private and public stakeholders from or active in emerging markets in Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia-Pacific\, especially technology providers\, project developers\, private investors\, international funding partners and policy makers. \nThe event is supported by GET.invest\, a European programme which mobilises investments in DRE\, supported by the European Union\, Germany\, Sweden\, the Netherlands\, and Austria. \nThe Forum will feature:\n\n\nHigh-level discussions on the status quo of technological advancement to support rural electrification with DRE in Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia-Pacific.\n\n\nTopical sessions showcasing innovative applied technologies that support the provision of clean\, affordable and reliable electricity in rural areas and power rural economies via productive uses of energy.\n\n\nDebate on the role of finance and support programmes in bringing technological innovation to markets in the DRE sector.\n\n\nGET.invest Matchmaking sessions to connect investors\, technology providers\, project developers\, as well as other innovators in the sector.\n\nRegister here
