Registration is Open for the 10th PVPMC Workshop and Systems Symposium in Albuquerque (May 1-3, 2018)

Co-sponsored by Sandia National Laboratories, CFV Solar Test Laboratory, and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), this three-day workshop will examine the technical challenges and opportunities related to PV systems and their grid integration.

There will be two (overlapping) tracks. Performance Modeling and Monitoring will be held Tuesday-Wednesday, and the Systems Symposium will be Wednesday-Thursday. There will also be a PVLIB User’s Group Meeting on Thursday morning.

• Tuesday: PV Performance Modeling Collaborative Workshop (day 1)
  Networking Reception (evening)
• Wednesday: PV Performance Modeling Collaborative Workshop (day 2)
  EPRI/SNL Systems Symposium – tutorial (day 1)
  Networking Reception (evening)
• Thursday: EPRI/SNL Systems Symposium (day 2)
  PVLIB Users Group Meeting (morning only)

Featured presentations and technical discussions will relate to:

• PV module performance measurements, practices, and standards
• Solar resource measurements, data, and uncertainty
• Challenges and progress towards modeling new PV technologies (e.g., bifacial modules, embedded power electronics, new module designs, and more…
• Updates from PV performance modeling application developers
• Advanced monitoring methods and strategies for efficient PV plant operations and maintenance
• Grid integration of PV in distribution and transmission systems
