The PV Project Development Summit South Africa is only one week away, taking place on 3-4 September at the Hilton Sandton Hotel in Johannesburg and over 150 of PVs most influential figures, innovators and hands-on experts have now confirmed to attend.
The event will bring together leading experts throughout the global PV industry and will tackle the financial, technical and infrastructural challenges unique to South Africa, as well as examine the key lessons learned in Round I & II of the integrated resource plan.
The roadblocks faced during the development of current projects will form a critical part of the discussion with Mainstream Renewable Power, Soitec, Momentous Energy and BioTherm Energy all confirmed to participate. Each developer will provide exclusive updates on their projects; as well as share the critical lessons that have been learned since round I bids were awarded, and the steps they are taking to achieve financial close.
Organizers PV Insider have also confirmed this week that Jinko Solar, Canadian Solar, MagPower, PV PowerWay, Convert Italia S.p.A and OMC-Sunspyre will sponsor the event to unveil their latest innovations in PV technologies for South Africa, which will enable solar project developers to maximize performance.
One of the key talking points of the conference is the "Global experiences in PV Project Development" sessions with participants from First Solar, Fotowatio FRV and Gestamp Solar. Delegates will hear exclusive case studies on how maximizing performance and lowering costs has been considered during the design and construction of current projects in Europe and the United States.

Featured Product
RBI Solar - Dahlia Has You Covered
What if you could maximize the Ground Coverage Ratio (GCR) on your next project and not have to worry about the complicated variables that come with a tracker system? With a low tilt and clearance design, Dahlia® has the highest GCR of any fixed-tilt system in the marketplace. The system is available in three tilt options (7.5, 10 and 12.5 degrees) and designed to accommodate any sized PV module. The lightweight system is engineered with fewer components, several of which are shipped to job sites pre-assembled. This design feature reduces freight costs and rapidly trims the amount of on-site installation time required to complete construction. Maximizing PV coverage on a site can lead to an increase of production, which creates greater financial return for project owners. Over 100 MW of Dahlia® projects have been deployed across the United States, in regions of variable snow and wind loads. How much can Dahlia® cover and save you on your next project?
