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

The advances of 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:

  • Wafer-to-module technology innovations
  • Grid-connection and system control devices
  • Mounting technology for solar system installations
