What's Hot in Solar Technology: New Tech Trends To Lower Costs & Improve Solar Product Functionality

Tuesday, June 18, 2024

Time: 11:30 am - 01:00 pm
Hall: ICM München
Room: Room 14 C

The advances in technology along the solar value chain in recent years have been breathtaking: Innovations have included considerably larger wafers, new cell technologies, much higher-efficiency solar modules, smarter inverters with management systems that can control fully electrified high-tech homes and less material-intensive fixed or tracking mounting systems that can be installed faster and boost system yields. This session will provide an overview of the latest technologies.
