After a successful European edition early this year, we are thrilled to announce that REGlobal, in collaboration with Global Transmission Report, is organising a conference on Floating Solar in US on July 23, 2024 in New York City. The United States has a tremendous untapped potential for floating solar installations and the country is now finally witnessing an increasing uptake of these projects. Estimates suggest that floating solar projects over the country’s 25,000 man-made reservoirs could generate 10 per cent of its annual national electricity. Further, even without any major new policy developments, the US floating solar deployments can cross 300 GW by 2030.    The mission of the conference is to highlight potential, growth opportunities, policy initiatives, developers’ plans, technology trends, financing landscape and outlook for the floating solar sector in US.

“Solar-Ready” has become a buzzword in the industry, but what does it really mean? Commercial rooftops are an appealing option as a platform for installing PV arrays to support energy generation, as well as corporate and community energy initiatives. However, it is important to remember that the roof’s primary function is to protect the building and its contents from the elements. There is a tremendous amount of coordination required to install rooftop solar successfully. Today's #technicaltuesday post is focused on these aspects.

Had a great time in Golden, CO last week at the Reliability of Photovoltaic Inverters Workshop hosted by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory! Many great insights into PV inverter reliability from many different perspectives including government, industry, academia, and national labs. Inverter reliability is not where it needs to be as we enter the renewable energy transformation towards a more sustainable electric grid. This is a large concern for not only asset owners, operators, and grid stability, but also is a national security concern. Hopefully, the outcomes of this workshop includes sending a clear message to all stakeholders that this is a priority to being us closer to our clean energy goals faster! #NREL #Energy #PV #Inverters #Reliability #Resilience EPSi #FIU Sukanta Roy Arif I.

💨Wind plus PV is a Win-Win🌞 Combining a Wind farm and a PV plant on the same or adjacent plots brings significant advantages for both installations. At Evergy, we are increasingly involved in such #Hybrid Projects, across various countries. Hybrid Projects offer several benefits, including cost efficiencies achieved through the synergy of different generation resources. By sharing existing infrastructure and land, economies of scale are realized. These projects typically use the same grid connection point, requiring less capacity compared to the sum of both nominal powers. This reduces CAPEX and smooths out fluctuations and seasonality. Moreover, reactive power balancing enhances the efficiency of the resulting hybrid system while reducing grid imbalances. #RenewableEnergy #HybridProjects #Synergy The graph illustrates  the overlay of typical production profiles of a Wind farm with a PV plant, either as a fixed system or a one-axis tracker.

starting soon. 🔜 This is quite technical, but recommended to companies working with #rooftopsolar installations. After all the game is about reliability and #energy yield - bringing benefits to all parties & contributing to a greener future. 💚 #solarenergy #solartechnology #webinar #passion #passionandpurpose #sustainability pv magazine Global

Last week Zeitview's Fan Zhang was at National Renewable Energy Laboratory PV Reliability Workshop sharing their poster on the approaches and challenges in detecting glass cracking in large solar panels. It was a fantastic event enabling us to explore diverse solar topics and connect with our industry peers. One of the key topics was the ever increasing unpredictability and severity of weather events that coupled with thinner glass is leading to lower resiliency and higher breakage rates of PV modules. We can't wait for next year! #SolarIndustry #ResearchInsights

🔔 Are you interested in #PositiveEnergyBuildings, #energycommunities, #energyefficiency or the European Commission #RenovationWave? 📝 Then join us for the upcoming EXCESS Project online event, Expanding Positive Energy Buildings across Europe!   🗓 When? 8 December 2023 – 11:00-12:30h CET   ℹ Positive Energy Buildings (PEBs) show new opportunities for the production of renewable energy and self-consumption, while providing benefits for residents and maximising cost-efficiency. The EXCESS EU Horizon 2020 project brings together 21 partners from 8 countries to showcase how nearly-zero energy buildings can be transformed into positive energy buildings. EXCESS is in the final steps of developing four innovative demonstration projects, introducing technical solutions that enable buildings to produce more renewable energy than they consume over the course of a year. During this online webinar, Andreas Tuerk and Joaquin Villar Rodriguez will introduce the latest developments of the EXCESS policy roadmap for the rollout of PEBs on a European level and share details on the EXCESS replication plans. The webinar will give opportunity to discuss barriers and drivers for the expansion of PEBs on a policy level and the development and uptake of PEB replication.   🌐 Please click the link below to register. https://shorturl.at/tIJNW   🏙 We look forward to seeing you there!
