Photovoltaic installations have an intuitively strong correlation with electricity demand, as hot days are often sunny ones. However, photovoltaics are a variable generation source and are not considered firm, controllable power from an electric utility perspective. Several methodologies have been developed by researchers to show statistical capacity values, but from a practical standpoint, they have not been readily adopted by the utility industry. Valuing photovoltaic capacity could provide economic and technical benefits for both utilities in planning generation supplies, as well as photovoltaic generators.
The workshop is designed to bring the solar and utility industries and researchers together to discuss different methodologies to calculate photovoltaic capacity and attempt to narrow down the options through common understanding and consensus. While technical in nature, the working paper will be the basis for discussing not only the methodologies, but also their practical applications. Utilities, researchers, and solar industry members with relevance and expertise on the topic are encouraged to register for the workshop and contribute to the group discussion.

Featured Product
SolarEdge Technologies - EV Charging Single Phase Inverter
The SolarEdge PV inverter combines sophisticated digital control technology with efficient power SolarEdge's EV charging single phase inverter offers homeowners the ability to charge electric vehicles up to six times faster than a standard Level 1 charger through an innovative solar boost mode that utilizes grid and PV charging simultaneously. This product is the world's first EV charger with an integrated PV inverter. Reducing the hassle of installing separately a standalone EV charger and a PV inverter, the EV charging inverter eliminates the need for additional wiring, conduit and a breaker installation. By installing an EV charger that is integrated with an inverter, no additional dedicated circuit breaker is needed, saving space and ruling out a potential upgrade to the main distribution panel. Whether you own an EV now or just want to be EV-ready, future-proof your home with SolarEdge.
