Building resilience

From geopolitics to geological disasters, the solar industry has had to learn to expect the unexpected and deal with crises head on. This month’s magazine explores how solar can contribute to a more resilient energy system and how the sector itself can grow more resilient in the face of threats, big and small.

Solar is becoming more sophisticated in managing risks like flooding and extreme weather, and in monitoring sites to catch problems like rust early on. But there’s still plenty to learn, and new risks emerging as the technology advances.

PREVIEW

Beschreibung

Policy has a major effect on how solar performs. This month, we explore Romania and Turkey’s growth amid a stalling European market, and Bruce Douglas, CEO of the Global Renewables Alliance, is among those arguing that in today’s uncertain geopolitical landscape, the most credible path to energy security is rapid electrification powered by renewables and smart grids.

Also in this month’s magazine, we dive into topics such as grid forming inverters, innovative financing structures for batteries, robot module installers, and a community electric vehicle charging scheme in the Canadian sub-Arctic.

Time will tell how war in the Middle East will impact this progress. Increased risk can dampen investor appetite, but conflict over fossil fuels and supply disruptions also make the transition from fossil fuels to cleaner, cheaper and more reliable sources like solar and batteries an even more attractive prospect.

What you’ll find in this issue:

Data centers in the desert: Abundant solar irradiation, but also numerous risks and complications.
Reframing energy: Ember’s Daan Walter on why we need a new way of looking at the energy system.
Resisting rust: Remedies for structural, electrical and fire safety issues for solar installations.
Module quality compromise: The delayed impact of falling prices on module quality and long-term performance.
Bankability: Tolling becomes a bankability tool with utility-scale energy storage.
