Jörg Althaus of @CEA_Global shared case studies to show the concern areas for solar module reliability, dividing these into 3 broad categories of junction box soldering, cold soldering on cells, & glass breakage that can impact project returns @TaiyangNews #ReliablePVModule

@CEA_Global found microcracks in over 50% of solar modules tested so far. Our durable, roll-formed steel #solar module frames are designed to prevent this problem with optimal performance. https://t.co/U74n58sGnt

Just over 2 weeks to go until #PVModuleTech Europe 2023, Barcelona on 28-29 November 2023. The perfect forum to discuss all issues around PV module selection, technology trends, testing and inspection. Thank you to all our attendees! Book Tickets at https://t.co/aBp0uHX5sf

.@CEA_Global sees 88 GW of solar cell manufacturing in the USA by 2027 - that's bigger than I thought.

What will it take to make #greenhydrogen cost-competitive? That’s the topic of a new column in @pvmagazine from CEA’s George Touloupas, where he lays out the key drivers of green hydrogen’s cost. Read the full article: https://t.co/vCSFPA8Klc

Our latest #energystorage supplier market intelligence report forecasts that the global lithium-ion battery (LIB) cell nameplate capacity will triple by 2025, with North America's capacity growth expected to outpace Europe's.

Last Friday, the U.S. Treasury Department and IRS issued a notice of intent providing guidance on the Domestic Content Bonus for the ITC & PTC. CEA has developed a briefing summarizing this guidance and the relevant issues for the PV and storage industries. https://t.co/A6b7fKIQLI

#Solar supply chains have been volatile, leading to broken contracts & project delays. In this @pvmagazine article, our supply chain expert Martin Deak offers a buyer's guide for those navigating the challenging landscape of solar equipment procurement.

#CleanEnergy developers should be cautious about defect rates as new production lines emerge in the wake of the US Inflation Reduction Act and EU proposals. Quality assurance is crucial for maintaining the industry's reputation for quality. Read more:

CEA's technology director George Touloupas discussed #greenhydrogen project development challenges (such as electrolyzer costs, Capex, LCOE and capacity factor) and the current price trajectory of green hydrogen technologies with @pvmagazine.

In this @REWorld article, CEA's Mark Hagedorn shares key factors to consider when choosing a site for your #cleanenergy factory. Water quality, power reliability and labor supply are just a few of the critical elements that can make or break your operation. https://t.co/8soDssF2bj

Our conversation on domestic solar manufacturing continues with @CEA_Global's Vinayak Gupta as he and Nick discuss supply chains and what it takes to bring new technology to production at scale. You can listen here:  https://t.co/QHQcEnKsYe

As the solar industry faces increased regulation, companies must ensure they are compliant with various programs. Our experts spoke with International Trade Resources Podcast about navigating complex solar regulations and supply chain compliance audits.

Developments in PV module technology have accelerated over the past few years. Our team recently calculated the price premium that solar developers will need to pay in return for the LCOE savings offered by the latest generation of high efficiency modules.

We look forward to the Energy Storage Summit next week in Austin! On Day 2, CEA will share best practices for an effective BESS procurement plan, including a guide to supplier selection, contract negotiation, traceability of upstream materials, and QA.

When choosing an energy storage supplier, it's important for buyers to be proactive to avoid long-term risk. It's not just as simple as who you're buying the batteries from - there are many different components in the #energystoragesystem that need to be carefully considered.

CEA reviews the January 2023 batch of energy yield results from the @pvmagazine outdoor test field. The average bifacial boost for the testing period was 6.73%. The average specific energy yield of the bifacial TOPCon category leads overall. https://t.co/f9qFNM3cok

We look forward to attending #ESSUS23 in Austin on March 28-29! On Day 2, our storage expert Jeff Zwijack will discuss best practices for an effective BESS procurement plan, including supplier selection and QA. Use code SPEAKER20 for 20% off your ticket
