The Q1 2024 edition of our downstream solar PV and energy storage journal, PV Tech Power, is now available to download. This issue focuses on looming PV module quality issues in the face of an extreme price crunch.

As is so often the case, things have come full circle over the past decade. Volume 38’s cover story is an in-depth look at how Chinese dominance and global expansion have powered a PV price war that threatens to undermine module quality. Can low prices and high quality co-exist, and what impact does aggressive pricing have on markets in Europe and the US?

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