Boviet Solar USA Explores Large-scale Solar Energy Production in August Issue of The Current E-zine

Latest Issue of Boviet’s Digital Magazine Examines Adoption of
Utility-scale Solar Production and Advances in Solar Energy Storage

SAN JOSE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#solar–In the August issue of The Current, the e-zine by Boviet Solar
Technology Co., Ltd., a global leader in the manufacture of high-quality
PV technology, Boviet experts discussed opportunities in large-scale
solar deployment and strategies to adopt utility-scale production. The
e-zine is published as part of an ongoing program to share the latest in
clean tech news and insights to move the North American economy forward.

In an article focused on large-scale solar deployment, The Current
discussed industry trends over the last decade tracked by the Powerway
Group, Boviet’s parent company, that are shaping the utility-grade solar
market, including:

• More efficient operating costs;
• Solar use in markets traditionally reliant on water to run steam
  turbines;
• New opportunities for solar site selection and space optimization; and
• Free market alignment with residential solar that is creating a
  waterfall effect.

The article reviewed critical steps needed to make large-scale solar
deployment a reality.

The August issue of The Current also explored one of the biggest
impediments to large-scale solar adoption – solar energy storage.
Advances in battery technology coupled with reduced prices are making
large-scale solar energy storage both feasible and economical. Navigant
Research predicts that by 2020, 29.4 GW of new energy-storage capacity,
primarily batteries, will be in place worldwide, with utilities
deploying 9,000 MW. Navigant also estimates that energy storage for grid
and ancillary services will grow from 1.1 GW in 2016 to 21.6 GW by 2025.
As battery technology continues to progress, the installation of new
microgrids will provide more clean energy production and
commercial-scale battery storage opportunities.

“Boviet is partnering with customers to combine utility-scale solar
systems with state-of-the-art energy storage,” said John Bereckis,
President of the new Modules Division for Boviet Solar USA. “Combining
high-output PERC solar modules with battery storage not only reduces
dependence on an aging power infrastructure, it creates energy
efficiencies that were previously unattainable with just solar power.
Our goal is to help our customers lower energy production costs, reduce
risk, and increase predictability.”

Every month, The Current draws from Boviet’s leading solar module
design/production insights, and Powerway’s decades of manufacturing
expertise and customer-centric best practices. The Current is
designed to drive solar’s narrative forward.
