Community Solar for Massachusetts Schools

As the pairing of solar and battery energy storage behind the meter is becoming increasingly preferred over standalone solar, DC-coupled architectures are fast becoming a preferred choice over AC-coupled systems. DC-coupled architectures provide superior round trip efficiency and reduced equipment costs by requiring fewer power conversion instances

Solar is lucrative business with high potential return on investment. However, there are some key differences between managing solar assets and managing financial assets. Solar assets entail a layer of complexity with physical and technical moving parts, which have a direct impact on yield and hence the ROI. So, how do you monitor and manage a solar asset to ensure maximum performance over the entirety of the system’s lifetime? In preparation for the inaugural edition of the Solar Asset Management Australia conference, we have joined forces with industry experts from Rystad Energy, Blueshore and Inaccess to bring you an insightful session on the asset management side of utility-scale solar projects in Australia.

The key role energy storage plays in the clean energy transformation has never been more clear — and 2022 will be a critical year to ramp up deployment of this critical resource. CESA’s annual Market Outlook webinar provides a look back on a historic year for storage deployment in California — with grid-connected storage growing 6-fold to 1,800 MW — alongside exclusive insights on what’s to come in 2022.

As solar PV projects embrace large-format and bifacial PV modules, inverters are evolving to deliver benefits across all three main LCOE variables, namely Capex, Opex and yield. However, asset operators are also demanding more oversight of the health of their projects, in turn demanding even more from modern inverter technology. This webinar discussed how modern solar inverters have evolved to keep pace with PV module technology, providing real-life examples of how GoodWe has solved challenges for solar project developers and asset managers.
