BALANCE OF SYSTEMS: UNLIMITED VERSATILITY OF PV POWER PLANTS
Summary
In the context of BoS
components, speakers will
answer questions on how
energy yields can be
increased despite
continuing cost reductions,
and on the current and
future role of inverters with
regard to different system
technologies such as
storage devices and hybrid
systems. Additionally, they
will look at how the global
inverter market may evolve
in terms of demand and
technology.

BALANCE OF SYSTEMS: INVERTERS – THE PACEMAKER OF PV POWER PLANTS
Summary
Presentations in this
session focus on the
increasing complexity of
inverters, the heart of a PV
power plant. Speakers will
talk about possible
technological trends and
concepts of the future, and
how inverter technology is
being adapted to meet the
requirements of an
increasingly smart power
system. New innovative
concepts and technological
achievements will be
shared.
