“The NREL reliability team regularly receives reports of glass breakage in silicon modules unrelated to direct damage from maintenance or storm impacts. The team found that the average quality of solar glass appears to be decreasing over time.” Initial costs can be reduced with thinner glass, which may seem attractive to some purchasing teams. Yet, the long-term cost and maintenance can significantly impact a project's ROI if cheaper panels are installed. “It used to be the case that modules would pass the IEC 61215 static load test with a big safety factor,” said National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s Teresa Barnes. “Today, modules are either barely passing the base static load test or not passing with higher safety factors.” My team at Sinovoltaics inspects modules every day, all over the world. Verifying equipment has been our staple for over a decade. More and more we are working with buyers to review module contracts before production begins. Reviewing module standards to verify that the modules being described are truly modules of quality. The mass deployment of renewable energy is not the goal here. The goal is to set up sustainable energy infrastructure that will endure. https://lnkd.in/eq_V3uyN

💬 The expansion of photovoltaic power plants has transformed the global energy landscape, facilitating the transition to cleaner and more sustainable energy. However, as the use of this technology increases, so does the need to ensure its operational safety. | #TheDailyTalks In today's blog, the Technical Advisory team discusses the necessary short-circuit protections for PV power plants, which are essential to ensure their safety and proper operation. #RenewableEnergy #SolarEnergy #Photovoltaic #GreenEnergy #ESG

What’s the best connector for PV systems? Photovoltaic systems, also known as PV systems, have become increasingly important around the world. Using solar cells to convert sunlight into electricity, these devices are essential to the pursuit of renewable energy resources. As PV systems increase in power output, and with many countries and markets expanding their investment in photovoltaics, we can expect the demand for safe and efficient PV systems to accelerate even further in the coming years. Ensuring there are innovative PV connectors available to support this increase in power and installation quantity is a vital step. Fortunately, companies like Weidmuller are changing the game with industry-leading connector solutions. https://lnkd.in/edGyjEWY Northern Connectors Ltd.

A new study shows the importance of considering power plant dispatchability in PV project planning. The researchers claim assessing a project’s levelized cost of energy (LCOE) could be misleading, especially with variable and sometimes negative electricity prices. #loce #cost #energy #plantperformance #ipp #epc #solarprojects https://lnkd.in/gtyD8yBS
