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 webinar will provide a comprehensive overview of the current grid constraint landscape in Germany, with a focus on what it means in practice for the storage business case. Attendees will gain a clear understanding of how ramp rate restrictions and grid limitations translate into concrete business model challenges, with real-world examples illustrating how developers can structure tailored, constraint-aware models for a single project, including the multiple-scenario analyses increasingly required in Flexible Connection Agreement (FCA) processes. The session will then address the critical question of financing: how do route-to-market (RTM) players continue to assess and price battery projects in a constrained environment? And what do lenders actually need to see to get comfortable?
