Roundtables USA: Accelerating solar deployment – video now available

Solar industry leaders from across the United States and the globe gathered in an informative and especially timely virtual event as the新利18appnet美国圆桌会议于11月9日举行。

As the U.S. and global solar markets rapidly recover from disruptions caused by the18luckbet ，共享了最佳，有弹性的太阳能PV解决方案，以加快脱碳并应对存在的气候挑战。通过总共六个小时的策划会议，由美国高级编辑戴维·瓦格曼（David Wagman），美国编辑蒂姆·西尔维亚（Tim Sylvia），乔纳森·吉福德（Jonathan Gifford）首席全球编辑兼副编辑瑞安·肯尼迪（Ryan Kennedy）主持，设备制造商，研究人员，政策制定者和其他利益相关者都分享了他们的观点如何加速部署以追求国家和全球目标。

第二节专注于在不断变化的景观下快速部署太阳能的策略。在这里观看：

Session 2: Accelerating solar deployment

Garrett Nilsen, acting director of the U.S. Department of Energy's Solar Energy Technologies Office opened the second session, outlining the Biden Administration's clean energy goals with a focus on solar energy, and the related initiatives DOE is pursuing.

接下来，由四人组成的小组主持了一个题为“铅，跟随或摆脱困境的演讲：太阳能需要扩展。”大卫·瓦格曼（David Wagman）和蒂姆·西尔维亚（Tim Sylvia）采访的小组成员包括Sunpower政策和战略主管Suzanne Leta；Shoals Technologies Group的Dean Solon创始人；Solar Energy International执行董事Elizabeth Sanderson；和清洁能源协会技术副总裁Paul Wormser。

The group covered a range of subjects, including highlights of the DOE-backed SolarAPP+, an automated permitting app that is slashing residential solar permit wait times. A call for greater diversity in the solar workforce was shared, as only 30% of the workforce are women, and only 8% are Black. It also weighed in on how the U.S. may be able to expand its solar manufacturing base and over what period of time.

Michael Parr, director of the Ultra Low Carbon Solar Alliance, spoke in a one-on-one interview with David Wagman and addressed the environmental footprint of solar. He shared that about 70-90% of global solar manufacturing is located in China, where solar has near double the carbon emission intensity in its production process. He advocated for a more dispersed and geographically diverse manufacturing supply chain. He said that market forces will continue to be the strongest driver in decarbonizing solar products and that buyers must actively select low-carbon module sourcing.

在这次采访之后，HeteroJunction模块制造商Rocom提供了视频演示文稿，其中包括Hamlet Tunyan，首席执行官和首席执行官顾问Vartan Oskanian。该公司在其模块中结合了硅和薄膜技术，并在其供应链起源中提供了额外的透明度。ROCOM模块白皮书追踪材料从获取的位置，并跟踪模块中每个组件的总碳发射输出。

From PV modules to energy storage

Moving from modules to energy storage, the Roundtables covered the emergence of the alkaline battery as a low-cost, safe alternative to lithium-ion batteries. Joining Tim Sylvia in the discussion were Ann Marie Augustus, co-founder and VP of operations at Urban Electric Power, and George Schulz VP of clean energy at Ariel Re.

舒尔茨说，项目保险承保受到电池热跑道等问题的压力，而新技术很难准确地承保。尤其是储能的安全将继续是一个重要的问题，数据透明度对于限制所有人的风险将很重要。

然后，圆桌会议转向未来，并在驱动器中转向脱碳的未来。参加此小组的是明尼苏达大学的Massoud Amin，太阳能领袖Karl Rabago，Chris Gordon，EDF Renewables北美的项目开发经理以及Deloitte的美国和全球可再生能源领导者Marlene Motyka。

随着国家在网格上达到更高水平的可再生能源渗透率，功率分布将变得越来越重要。小组指出，一代人应位于负载中心附近，以提高效率和可靠性，但这带有一组高地成本和分区问题和敏捷性。得出的结论是，公用事业规模的项目和分布式太阳能的混合物既是大规模部署的最低成本和最快的方式，同时牢记弹性和灵活性。
