Dear colleagues,
The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) would like to draw your attention to
Boosting global PV markets: The role of quality infrastructure, the Agency’s handbook on the best practices to develop and implement
Quality Infrastructure (QI) for solar PV.
As solar
PV power systems become increasingly competitive, continued market
growth depends on assurances of performance and durability. Quality
assurance protects and accelerates future solar PV investments, lowers
capital costs, improves performance, extends module lifespans and
lowers the resulting electricity costs.
The
benefits achieved through QI have been consistently shown to outweigh
the costs of implementation, and a case study in the handbook shows that
independent quality testing under engineering, procurement and
construction
contracts can boost PV system performance by 2−3%.
The handbook’s data and analysis provides:
·
Guidance for establishing proper
QI mechanisms, showcased through successful experiences with
utility-scale, distributed-generation and off-grid PV development in 11
countries;
·
Five case studies offering quantified cost-benefit analysis for QI implementation at different stages of PV plant development.
To learn more and to read the
publication, visit IRENA’s website.
Best regards,
Michael Madsen
