Recording from Tuesday, February 17, 2026 | Solar Quality Summit | Language: English | Duration: 70:03 .
As next-generation PV technologies like TOPCon and bifacial modules enter the field, traditional AI forecasting faces a critical challenge: past performance no longer reliably predicts future outcomes. This session explores how these advanced modules can behave differently in realworld conditions compared to lab results, revealing the limits of historical datasets. Attendees will learn strategies for capturing early field insights, understanding when AI predictions may falter, and leveraging expert oversight to complement machine learning. The result: a smarter, more adaptive approach that integrates human judgment and AI to guide evolving solar technologies.
