Gain a Competitive Edge with N-type TOPCon: The New Standard for Solar – Part 1 of 2: Vertex N
Solar innovation remains a driving force that propels the industry forward as we enter the post-grid parity era. Among the latest advancements pushing the boundaries of PV module performance, n-type TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) solar technology shines as the new standard. Trina Solar’s cutting-edge Vertex N and Vertex S+ modules lead the way …
Leveraging N-Type Solar Modules to Accelerate Renewable Energy Deployment in the Face of Extreme Heat
N-Type PV modules present a compelling solution to mitigate the impact of rising temperatures on utility-scale solar projects. These advanced solar panels offer several key advantages that utility-scale solar project developers and EPC firms can leverage for lower levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) and improved project economics, two key factors in accelerating renewable energy deployment …
How Developers and EPCs Can Mitigate Utility-Scale Solar Project Risk to Avoid Costly Delays
Developers estimate that 54% of the 54.5 gigawatts (GW) of new utility-scale electric-generating capacity added to the U.S. power grid this year will be solar power, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) Preliminary Monthly Electric Generator Inventory. However, the surging growth of renewable energy installations in recent years has also led to …
The Importance of Engaging Local Communities During Utility-Scale Solar Project Development
The world needs inexpensive and sustainable renewable energy, and solar power leads the push for building a net-zero future. But for every noble cause, pushback exists. In the case of solar, one source of pushback has come from residents cautious of utility-scale solar projects built in their communities. How can the solar industry, specifically …
Quit Limiting Utility-Scale PV Project Potential and Start Using a Smart Solar Solution
Photovoltaic (PV)-powered generation will account for more than half of the 54.5 GW of new utility-scale electric generating capacity forecasted for 2023, according to recent data from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA). Forty-one percent of this new solar capacity will come in Texas and California, with an expected 7.7 GW and 4.2 GW of …
A Bright Horizon for Utility Solar in 2023
2023 Brings Opportunities for the Utility-Scale Solar Sector Despite disruptions, uncertainty, and ever-shifting regulations, the utility-scale solar sector again proves its mettle as industry analysts forecast another promising year. From Oct. 2021 to Oct. 2022, utility-scale solar experienced a 31.5% increase in year-over-year net generation (per 1000 megawatt-hours), according to the latest data from the …
TrinaPro: The Smart Solution to Solar Supply Chain and Procurement Challenges
The demand for solar energy (and the network of technologies that go with it) has never been higher. While the Inflation Reduction Act certainly gets some credit for this push, utility-scale solar projects have been leading the charge for new installations and expansions. This effort by utility operators to make energy resources more resilient comes …
23 PV Manufacturers Adopt 600W+ as Capacity of 210mm Wafers, Cells, and Modules Reaches 80%
A TrendForce EnergyTrend report for the second quarter states that 56 solar cell manufacturers, accounting for about 80% of all solar cell makers, can now produce 210mm solar cells. Amid the brisk growth of 210mm products, this capacity surge represents year-on-year growth of 51%. Twenty-three module makers have now adopted 600W+ technology. Large and ultra-high …
