How to Sell Commercial Solar

According to the UN, more focused attention is needed to improve access to clean and safe cooking fuels and technologies for 3 billion people, to expand the use of renewable energy beyond the electricity sector, and to increase electrification in sub-Saharan Africa.

In this webinar IRENA provides an overview of the role of patents and standards and their importance to foster the development of renewable energy technologies. How to use IRENA’s online platform, INSPIRE, to gather the latest information on patents and standards worldwide. Showcase how policy makers and other key actors in the renewable energy field can benefit from INSPIRE.

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

The corporate world is the end consumer of almost 60% of all the energy produced in the world, making it a vital link in the global energy transition. The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) estimates that - following the current path - by 2050 corporates will be taking up 18% of total renewable energy consumption. However, in order to stay below the 2 degrees Celsius limit defined at the Paris Climate Accords, this figure should be 80%. That is a large gap to fill. Multinational operations have large production and supply chain footprints across Asia, but struggle to find suitable ways to engage in renewable energy in a number of countries in the region. Solarplaza is hosting two webinars (20 & 27 September, 2018) dedicated to corporate renewable energy in Asia. During the webinars we will look at the market opportunities and bottlenecks for corporations to power their operations with renewable energy.
