Volume 41 of our downstream journal, PV Tech Power, is out now and available to Energy-Storage.news Premium subscribers.

The Q4 2024 edition tackles the “hope and hype” of perovskite PV, a technology attracting excitement and scorn in equal measure as it inches ever closer to commercialisation.

Our cover report looks at some of the milestones the technology has achieved, including its first reported commercial deployment earlier this year. The PV Tech team assesses whether it has the potential to dethrone crystalline silicon as the PV industry’s go-to technology or whether it will be one technology among many in a more diversified portfolio of solar generation technologies. We also feature a report from VDE Americas exploring the extensive bankability challenges the technology must overcome to achieve widespread adoption.

As always, ‘Storage & Smart Power’, the section of the journal contributed by our team at Energy-Storage.news, returns.

‘Storage & Smart Power articles in this edition of PV Tech Power:

  • Cutthroat competition: the race to the top of the BESS supply chain

Rho Motion’s head of research Iola Hughes analyses some of the market trends shaping the dynamic battery energy storage market as its growth accelerates worldwide.

  • Navigating the rigid world of energy storage warranties

Inflexible and complex, the warranty model for energy storage systems has failed to keep pace with rapid market growth. Valentin Lorscheid and Dr. Kai-Philipp Kairies of ACCURE Battery Intelligence propose ways in which warranties can be reformed as the industry matures.

  • BESS: Chile’s renewables saviour?

Grid constraints have prevented Chile from maximising the potential of its world class solar resources. Energy storage has, therefore, become a necessity to ensure the financial viability of PV projects, writes Jonathan Tourino Jacobo.
