How the rapid advancement of bifacial module technology is being matched by the needed durability and performance over expected lifetime. Findings from a leading utility-scale player on the yield differential and lower LCOE of modules with glass/transparent backsheet will complement this session.

• How Clear Tedlar® backsheets are transforming bifacial modules by maximizing reliability & performance and lower total cost of ownership.
• Providing excellent weatherability, higher output power, field-proven materials, mature manufacturing, lower installation and O&M cost.
• Understand the impact of bifacial modules on the LCOE of a project: how to adapt the design of PV plant for better matching to demand or value profile over time
• Losses in bifacial PV systems – how to reduce the impact at module and system level?

• Overview of UK solar pipeline going into Covid crisis
• Main short-term impacts – planning, connections, delays
• Routes to market: merchant risk, PPAs and CfD auctions
• Adapting work practices for social distancing
• Policy priorities from industry to UK government

• Overview of proposed amendments to the scheme
• Opportunities and challenges for solar deployment
• Optimal technology pot structure
• Allocation round design considerations

This seminar will look at enhancements in asset tracking and machine learning; how companies are collecting ever more complex data and we ask if asset owners and asset managers are really turning collected data into actionable knowledge?
