PV Tech and Seraphim Solar hosted a 30-minute TechTalk Product Series webinar on the 23rd July providing attendees with a comprehensive introduction to Seraphim’s S2 full-black half-cell series modules and their rooftop applications, an overview on how half-cell and half-module cell to module losses are minimised, protecting against potential shading issues and an overview on how module performance and system needs are met with superior aesthetics.

Leading ‘Solar Module Super League’ supplier, JinkoSolar has teamed with experts from TÜV NORD and Soltec to provide as usual a technically driven PV Tech ‘TechTalk’ series webinar to further understand the Tiger PRO modules impact on LCOE metrics.

This PV Tech TechTalk Product Series webinar is designed to provide an overview of this new module that has 540Wp performance with gallium-doped, newly defined M10 (182mm x 182mm) wafers, half-cut monocrystalline PERC (Passivated Emitter Rear Cell) cells and 9BB (busbar) ‘Smart Soldering’ cell interconnect technology.

This TechTalk Product Series webinar with Huayu New Energy was designed to help installers, PV project developers, asset owners and interested parties to increase their understanding of the HY-2000-Plus microinverter and its ability to meet the need for more cost effective inverter solutions that deliver higher performance and safety. This webinar was presented by Andy Tang, the overseas sales director for Huayu New Energy, with 10 years of global sales experience with solar inverters.

In this TechTalk, JA Solar maps a path to lowering the Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) of utility-scale PV power plants, through a greater understanding of the choices available in the era of multiple large-area solar panels with peak power ratings ranging from 400Wp to above 500Wp. JA also introduces its highest performing large-area PV panel series, DEEPBLUE 3.0, which integrates a number of key technologies to provide power outputs of over 525Wp.

In this TechTalk Product Series Webinar, JinkoSolar presents its tiling ribbon TR technology for the new high-end Tiger Pro series on June 8th, pressing ahead with plans to shift to a 500+ Wp range. As the first 580Wp utility solar panel, boasting an efficiency of 21.6%, Tiger PRO has been described as the world’s most powerful commercialised panel.

In this TechTalk, Tristan Erion-Lorico, head of PV module business at PV Evolution Labs (PVEL), will share 2020's top-performing PV modules and discuss key findings from PVEL’s PQP testing, with a special focus on the performance of bifacial PV modules. Dr. Dana Olson, global solar segment leader at DNV GL will offer an analysis of trends in PV module quality and discuss how PVEL’s test data is used by DNV GL as part of a module useful life analysis. Mark Osborne of PV Tech will also join the webinar to cover his top highlights from the 2020 Scorecard as compared to the previous editions.

This TechTalk Product Series will cover everything from the science behind DSM’s turnkey Retrofit AR coating to industrial-scale use cases done in Germany, Italy, and the Czech Republic. Also, the practical application process and all other aspects of this turnkey service in detail, from pre-inspection and business case definition to full data analysis of the plant, pre- and post-application. Finally, DSM will share the outcomes of two recent bankability reports: an in-depth cleaning study by DSM and a performance study by TÜV Rheinland.

In this webinar, Jörn Brembach, Commercial Manager Europe at DSM Advanced Solar, will outline the key features of the Retrofit AR coating, its durable technology, and its application process. Importantly, he will also share the results from industrial-scale use cases in Germany, Italy, and the Czech Republic. Jörn will also address the service’s bankability and explain which solar parks could benefit most from the coating. Jörn will be joined by Andrea Viaro, JinkoSolar’s Head of Technical Service and Product Management Europe, who will elaborate on the tests JinkoSolar has undertaken to ensure product warranties on its modules are not affected. Finally, Diego Molina, Innovation Manager at WiseEnergy, will discuss the coating’s impact and application from an asset management perspective, explaining how WiseEnergy evaluated the product on smaller PV power plants and why the company also decided to apply it to larger-capacity plants. Diego will also benchmark this solution against other repowering options available on the market.

Jinko Solar’s Head of Technical Services Europe, Andrea Viaro, will discuss the award-winning Swan bifacial module with transparent backsheet from DuPont, its features, benefits and differences vs. standard glass-glass modules. Jinko Solar’s new bifacial technology innovations will also be highlighted, specifically covering profitability in deployment at utility-scale PV power plants. Andrea will be joined by Dr. Lars Podlowski, Executive board member of PI Berlin and Director Global Technical Services, who will give a comprehensive introduction to all aspects of bifacial PV technology, with a special focus on benefits and risks industry buyers and investors should pay attention to. Stéphane Lebeau, Senior PV Engineer of DNV GL, will discuss bankability improvement for bifacial technology.
