Industry Insights 💡 ☀️The International Energy Agency (IEA) published its annual flagship #World #Energy Outlook 2024 on the 16th October 2024! Here are some of the insights👇 ➡️ Solar will dominate growth of #renewable #energy up to 2030 ➡️ 80% of #renewable #growth will be #solar PV 💡 About 50% of that will come from #utility #solarpv 💡 About 30% of will be #distributed That said, the International Energy Agency (IEA) almost always underestimates #renewables in general and #solar #pv specifically. ➡️ #Renewable it projected additional #RE capacity at 440 GW ➡️ The actual installed #solarpv capacity alone exceeded that, at 447 GW. #Africa is still underrepresented despite it having 40% of global solar resources There's more work to be done Global Solar Council (GSC) 🙌 #Solar #solarpv #solarenergy #renewables #renewableenergy #iea #Africa
Solar is powering renewables growth worldwide ☀️ Solar PV alone is set to account for 80% of new renewable capacity added globally between now & 2030 This comes from new large power plants & rooftop solar panel installations by households & businesses 👉 https://iea.li/3BwaLFF

Member Insights 💡 🌟The co-founder of our member PVinsight RSA, Dr Jacqui Crozier McCleland outlines 5 reasons why #PV modules should be tested before #installation. 🌟Read more about reason below on #quality, #performance #manufacturing faults, transportation #damages, #long term reliability #investment protection many others! #testing #modules #solarpv #quality

𝟱 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗣𝗩 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. 𝟭. 𝗘𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 • 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗡𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿: Pre-installation power measurements at Standard test conditions (STC) allow you to confirm that the modules meet the manufacturer’s stated power output. This ensures you're getting the power class you paid for. • 𝗜𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗮𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀: Some modules may have manufacturing defects, such as v-cracks, poor soldering, or delamination. Testing helps identify and reject defective modules before they are installed, preventing future issues. 𝟮. 𝗜𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗲 •𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗲: Modules can be damaged during transport or handling, leading to micro-cracks, broken glass, or cell degradation. Pre-installation testing including both Visual and Electroluminescence can identify physical damage and micro-cracks. 𝟯. 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘇𝗲𝘀 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗟𝗼𝗻𝗴-𝗧𝗲𝗿𝗺 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 • 𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗣𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗟𝗼𝗻𝗴-𝗧𝗲𝗿𝗺 𝗜𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗲𝘀: Early identification of defects or under-performance ensures that the installed modules will perform reliably over the long term. This is critical for systems with expected lifespans of 25 years or more. 𝟰. 𝗘𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 • 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴: Pre-installation testing provides baseline performance data for each module, which can be used for comparison during routine system maintenance or if performance issues arise later. 𝟱. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 • 𝗠𝗮𝘅𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘇𝗲𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 (𝗥𝗢𝗜): By ensuring that the PV modules meet expected performance levels and are free of defects, pre-installation testing helps maximize the return on investment for solar projects. • 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗸𝘀: Identifying and addressing issues before installation reduces the risk of financial losses due to poor system performance or the need for early replacements. • 𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘆 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Many warranties require that modules be tested before installation to validate the warranty coverage. By testing beforehand, you ensure that you can claim warranty coverage if issues arise later. Pre-Installation testing offered on-site by PVinsight RSA includes: • 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 • 𝗠𝗮𝘅𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗺 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 • 𝗘𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 (𝗘𝗟) 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 #pvinsight #pv #pvmodules #pvquality #renewableenergy #solarenergy
