When to overbuild a solar array

This webinar will cover key technical specifications for string inverters and how those translate to savings from initial capital investment to installation and O&M. Sungrow’s 60kW and 125kW inverters will be used as case studies to show how plant reliability and power yield can be optimized. Topics to be discussed include DC/AC ratio optimization, balance of systems cost savings, O&M/Serviceability considerations, dealing with site-specific/geographic challenges, and other key product features and specifications.

Some utilities have begun developing solar projects specifically to serve low-income customers and underrepresented neighborhoods. This webinar featured two utility pilot projects that are installing solar panels on rooftops in low-income neighborhoods. Paul Tyno of Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus in Buffalo, New York presented on National Grid’s Fruit Belt Neighborhood Solar Partnership, a project which is installing 500kW of rooftop solar in the Fruit Belt neighborhood of Buffalo. David Castro of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) in California discussed LADWP’s Solar Rooftops Program, which is installing up to 1MW of residential rooftop solar in Los Angeles, focusing on neighborhoods that have had low penetration of distributed solar. This webinar was produced by CESA for the Sustainable Solar Education Project as part of a series on strategies to ensure that solar remains consumer friendly and benefits low- and moderate-income households. This project is funded through a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy SunShot Initiative.

With falling prices, new government initiatives and new business models, the opportunities for solar seem endless. However, intermittency issues and curtailment risk threaten this growth of solar energy in emerging markets and need to be addressed. In this webinar Ana Verana Lima (Bloomberg New Energy Finance), Frederik van Pallandt (FMO) and Javier Relanchio (Mott MacDonald) will shed their light on the evolving landscape of solar energy in emerging markets.
