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.

LG Solar Unveils NeON R with Enhanced Aesthetics and Energy Savings
The NeON R module features "Back Contact" cell technology delivering an entirely black panel that is aesthetically pleasing and energy efficient. The cell's seamless, surface blends perfectly into nearly all rooftop designs while the module's electrodes are positioned on the rear of the cell. Using LG's N-type cell structure, the panels produce 365W of energy, up to 7.3kWp, compared to 5.8kWp of the p-type cell. The module's new design minimizes LID, thereby delivering a longer lifespan and increased energy output.
