Tipping Point

The impact of oversupply is being felt throughout the PV value chain, raising big questions for industry and policymakers alike. Lagging demand isn’t exactly helping. But the solar marketplace has experienced similar cycles before and come out the other side.
Exploring how the current turbulence is impacting the PV supply chain is a focal point of this November edition of pv magazine, as is the innovation and ambition that characterizes a solar sector that thrives when solving problems.

Description

On the African continent, we look at how rooftop solar is stepping in to plug the gap left by dampening enthusiasm for large solar projects. Commercial and industrial arrays are leading the charge and there has been a wave of merger and acquisition activity as companies try to keep pace with the opportunities opening in front of them.
From one set of opportunities to another, solar industry veteran Jigar Shah has some things to say about virtual power plants (VPPs). Known as the father of the solar power purchase agreement, Shah leads the US Department of Energy’s Loans Programs Office and explains some of the knowns and unknowns of rolling out VPPs.
This edition also offers readers the last chance to catch up on some of the outstanding entries that were submitted to the pv magazine Awards 2023.
