The Q4 2022 edition of our downstream solar journal, PV Tech Power, is now available to download, including comprehensive coverage of efforts to diversify the supply chain.
The cover story of volume 33 details how solar manufacturers in markets such as the US, India and Europe are looking to leverage policy support to scale up production and take advantage of soaring domestic module demand.
As well as looking at how solar players can benefit from various tax credits included in the US’s Inflation Reduction Act, this issue reveals how satellites can provide more reliable insights into the construction of utility-scale PV projects in the country.
Other features in this issue include:
• New PV module technologies’ impact on quality and LCOE
George Touloupas of Clean Energy Associates reveals how the rapid and simultaneous introduction of new technologies can increase quality risk.
• Solar and land use in the UK: balancing energy and food security
Molly Lempriere investigates how much land the UK needs for utility-scale PV plants as it transitions to net zero.
• From optimum yield to maximum profit: how to develop solar projects with O&M in mind
Jörn Carstensen of greentech explores how unforeseen effects from development, procurement and construction can have a significant impact on the economic viability of PV plants.
