TaiyangNews Annual Flagship Event: DAY1-VirtualConference on High Efficiency Solar Technologies – Today, Tomorrow and Beyond
It took almost only an instant for the solar cell technology world to look very different today than it did in the past. TOPCon has been accepted as the new state of the art with large capacities online and much more to come around the world, while PERC is a thing of the past. At the same time, several leading companies are also developing HJT, either focusing on HJT exclusively or considering HJT as the step towards moving to the next generation tandem structure together with perovskites. Moreover, there’s also increasing activity in back contact (XBC) cell architecture, the long-time efficiency leader that is now pursued commercially by a few companies.To provide an insight into the innovations and developments in each of the cell technology streams – TOPCon, HJT and XBC – TaiyangNews has hosted annual flagship event: TaiyangNews Conference on High Efficiency Solar Technologies 2023. In this 4-day event, leading PV manufacturers, material suppliers and equipment makers presented the latest updates on each of these technologies.

TaiyangNews Special Focus Webinar: Solar Getting Smart - How Digitalization Boosts Energy Efficiency In PV Power Plants
Digitalization is becoming increasingly important in the power sector. With the grid and other parts of the power distribution infrastructure digitalized, solar power, a renewable energy source, is also gearing up for digitalization. Monitoring and optimization, predictive maintenance, and demand response are just a few examples of solar digitalization. All of these parameters can be used as inputs for solar energy production, especially when the power plant is built with smart trackers.In this exclusive webinar,” Solar Getting Smart,” we will discuss the different aspects of digitalization in the solar power industry, including the policy framework, the digitalization architecture overview, and smart trackers.

Oct. 26, 2023: Reliable PV Module Design Conference
With solar module technology being in an innovation rush, quickly improving efficiencies and reaching higher power output as global deployment continues at record pace, there’s one key attribute beyond these two direct sales metrics of a PV panel – and that is reliability. Solar modules are a very rare commodity that comes with typical performance warranties of 25-30 years, making reliability an important part of new product design.TaiyangNews brings together key stakeholders active in the various parts of module manufacturing to discuss the topic “reliability” to facilitate designing and building high-performance modules that last for decades. TaiyangNews Reliable PV Module Conference brought together manufacturers, material suppliers and equipment makers from the solar PV industry to discuss the reliability aspect of solar modules Amid growing use of TOPCon, it is cell metallization paste that needs to be optimized to deal with corrosion issues of aluminum in silver/aluminum paste Glass-glass modules do score over their glass-backsheet variants, but the latter also have their use in distributed generation applications To survive in this industry in times of price pressures, some manufacturers may end up compromising on quality control which may end up impacting module reliability so there is a need to watch out for thisExecutive PanelModerated by TaiyangNews Head of Technology Shravan Chunduri, the panel discussion revolved around how to ensure a solar panel’s high performance for decades.When it comes to reliability, Huasun Energy’s Christian Comes believes the onus also falls on the customers to be cautious with what they end up buying. With price pressures coming in along with extreme competition, manufacturers may end up compromising the quality of materials to bring down their costs. This, borne out of an instinct to survive, can cost reliability of the end product.At the same time, not all companies are at the same level of technological efficiency, hence the market may also have some not-so-reliable products. This needs to be watched out.Defending the glass-backsheet modules against the general perception of these not being as reliable and long-lasting as their glass-glass counterparts, Endurans Solar’s Imco Goudswaard said transparent backsheets have a significant role to play in installations that require lightweight modules.For instance, distributed generation applications where aesthetics are more important, as well as building integrated PV (BIPV) segment.To deliver on reliability, Autowell Technology’s Paulo Rocha said that an equipment manufacturer needs to have a high production volume to be able to warrant consistent, quality manufacturing. What’s good is that newer developments in terms of technology are coming up, so if there is enough volume, companies can deliver equipment worthy of the efforts put in. Rocha added that it is good to see all players using various quality standards for their products and remain open to changes. The trio unanimously voiced that platforms such as the TaiyangNews conference offer a platform for the industry to come together and exchange information about technology, demand and markets, which wasn’t the case earlier. Even big players are open to finding solutions to make the industry more competitive.

TaiyangNews Virtual Conference on Advanced Solar Module Applications – From Agrivoltaics To Floating Solar And Building-Integrated PV
The field of applications for solar is quickly growing, What was new yesterday, might be an emerging segment today, and really big tomorrow. The segment of floating has developed rapidly into a significant market – and solar module applied need to have different characteristics than panels applied on power plants in the desert. Though still smaller, the field of agricultural photovoltaics (agri solar) has enormous untapped potential, and the opportunities for building integrated solar seem endless in the long run.The Conference took place on 26 September and had leading stakeholders from module manufacturing, research, and deployment discussing the latest developments in advanced solar module applications.
