Agenda
Trouble in the South: Hurricanes, floods and damp heat
Join pv magazine for our Quality Roundtable at the Solar Power Southeast trade show in Atlanta to explore the unique challenges of deploying solar in Southern states. Through both our interactive investigations of projects gone wrong and a panel discussion with industry experts, we’ll look at how to deal with the many challenges that the South can throw at solar projects, including hurricanes, flooding, and the ever-present difficulties posed by warm, humid climates.
Our panel discussion will feature experts from NEXTracker, Shoals, First Solar and PV Evolution Labs, who will share experience from both the field and the lab to inform developers, installers, engineers and contractors – as well as financiers and asset owners – on dealing with this diverse set of challenges.
The Quality Roundtable will be held on May 30 the Solar Power Southeast show. Be sure to sign up today to reserve a spot.
Light lunch will be available
