Ever wondered what truly sets apart the most accurate energy forecasting models? Inaccurate forecasts cost renewable energy companies money if they under- or over-predict energy production. This can also disrupt the grid if there's not enough backup power to compensate for shortfalls. Elliott Chorn (VP of Product) of Amperon joins Kerim Baran from SolarAcademy to discuss the key ingredients that unlock superior forecasting power. This Solar Conversation explores: ⚡ Amperon's unique three-pronged approach to forecasting: domain knowledge, data hygiene, and weather mastery. ⚡ How their team of data scientists leverages their deep understanding of the energy market. ⚡ The critical process of data cleaning to ensure model integrity and reliable results. ⚡ Why incorporating vast amounts of weather data is a game-changer for forecast accuracy. Watch the video here: https://lnkd.in/gQc-qYbw How can we leverage improved forecasting accuracy for better project planning and grid integration?

"It's not really a game plan other countries can adapt, and that's what we need. We need ways for everyone else to get onto the clean energy train." Portugal's achievement of powering its grid entirely with renewables for six days straight is a major milestone. But what can we learn from their success, and how can it be applied elsewhere? Julian Spector (Sr. Reporter) of Canary Media Inc. was the first to report on Portugal’s remarkable achievement. He joins Lisa Ann Pinkerton as they assess the practicalities of grid management, the role of energy storage, and how different regions can adapt similar strategies to their unique contexts.

“I look forward to permaculture and natural barriers instead of fences one day.” Solar energy and biodiversity - can you have the best of both worlds? Being one of the largest developers of utility-scale solar farms in the world and balancing that act as stewards of large land areas, Lightsource bp shared with us what it's like to take on these challenges. Alyssa Edwards (Sr. VP Government Relations and Environmental Affairs) and Virginia Brown (Director of Ecosystems) of Lightsource bp joined Kerim Baran from SolarAcademy and NICO JOHNSON 🎙️deep dived on how thoughtful land stewardship can: ☀️ Enhance long-term project success through a healthy ecosystem. ☀️ Promote biodiversity with pollinator-friendly plants and wildlife habitat creation. ☀️ Embrace innovative solutions like agrivoltaics (co-locating solar and agriculture). ☀️ Reduce maintenance costs with practices like sheep grazing under panels. Watch the conversation here: https://lnkd.in/g9vuaXgw As solar professionals, how have you integrated responsible land management practices into your projects?

We get it. ➡️ Tradeshows and conferences are where your company actually gets to be out in front of your customers and prospects. You finally meet face to face, show off your team and products, and hopefully move those deals forward. But with packed schedules and busy booths, you can’t reach everyone and many don’t even make it by your Booth! So, how do you effectively share your expertise with potential partners and customers who didn’t get a chance to meet you even after that huge expense? 🗣️ We’ve helped dozens of companies maximize their event experience and reach beyond the show floor. How? ➡️ We call it an Exhibitor Showcase, and it allows you to capture the in-booth experience with your hard-to-reach thought leaders and duplicate their wisdom in a one-to-many format - video! 🤝 Focus on Networking, Not Filming: Our professional video team captures in-depth discussions showcasing your company’s innovation and unique approach. 📹 High-Quality Videos that Keep Learning Going: Turn those insightful booth conversations into engaging video content that educates your target audience long after the event ends. ✨ Personalized Approach for Maximum Exposure: We tailor each engagement to amplify your brand message and capture what you feel most engages your prospects, and deliver it to you (and to our audiences too) in a personalized and curated manner (+ you get all the raw footage to do with as you please!) ⏰ RE+ is around the corner! Whether you're unveiling groundbreaking solar technology, driving change through innovative software, or building the next battery storage breakthrough, let SunCast Media amplify your voice. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/ez8sdAXR

Reaching New Heights in Solar Technology with 700W+ Modules Just two decades ago, solar module efficiency hovered around 9-10%. Today, we’re at 23-24%, thanks to advancements in silicon-based technology. However, we’re nearing the upper limits of efficiency with silicon. That’s why the focus is shifting to making modules bigger and more powerful. Remember when 200W and 300W panels were the norm? Now, we’re installing 600 and 700W+ modules. 🤯📈 One of the most powerful modules now on the market is Trinasolar's Vertex N 720W series, which leverages N-type modules using i-TOPCon technology. These high-power modules are set to make up much of the global production this year. The Vertex N 720W series brings numerous benefits: ⚡Lower LCOE (Levelized Cost of Electricity) and BOS (Balance of System) Costs ⚡Low-voltage, high-power, and ultra-low degradation ⚡Bifaciality and higher string power ⚡Reliability in rugged conditions, including high-altitude areas and vast deserts Vertex N 720W series is paving the way for the industry to embrace the 700W+ era. It's an exciting time for solar energy. When do you expect to see 700+W modules in your neighborhood? Your project? #SolarEnergy #RenewableEnergy #Innovation #Sustainability
