The Q4 2022 edition of our downstream solar journal, PV Tech Power, is now available to download, including comprehensive coverage of efforts to diversify the supply chain.

The cover story of volume 33 details how solar manufacturers in markets such as the US, India and Europe are looking to leverage policy support to scale up production and take advantage of soaring domestic module demand.

As well as looking at how solar players can benefit from various tax credits included in the US’s Inflation Reduction Act, this issue reveals how satellites can provide more reliable insights into the construction of utility-scale PV projects in the country.

As always, ‘Storage & Smart Power’, the section of the journal contributed by Energy-Storage.news returns too. Feature articles in the latest edition are:

This session is a practical, operator-led conversation about the battery anomalies that erode utility-scale battery energy storage systems’ (BESS) capacity and availability, and what it takes to catch them before they materially impact the P&L. Neoen, one of the world’s leading independent power producers, brings the operator’s perspective from a growing storage fleet, and PowerUp provides the analytics that make these patterns visible earlier. You leave with a clearer sense of where these losses hide and what it takes to act on them across your own portfolio. Who’s it for: owners, operators, asset managers, and integrators of grid-scale BESS assets.
