PV technology is advancing by the day with new emerging cell technologies and improvements in module efficiencies. Latest technologies come with obvious advantages, however utility-scale PV developers such as ACWA Power, focus is mainly on reliability and long-term durability of a technology in order for large scale power plants to last the design operational term to provide reliable and sustainable renewables energy solutions to important clients and reduce the commercial risks of developers. The talk will focus on how a major renewable energy developer perceive the latest emerging technologies in the photovoltaics.
