 With the advent of the grid parity era, technological advanced PV plants equipped with high-efficiency solar modules are gradually coming under the spotlight of global users.

Some people hold that larger modules bring more value. Is this really the case?

As is known to all, solar modules, which are the core component of a PV power plant system, have a crucial impact on the stability, durability and efficient operation of the plant.

Comprehensively considering reliability and safety, the proper increase in module size can improve the product power and decrease the LCOE (levelized cost of energy).

On the other hand, we shall clarify misunderstandings. That is, bigger is not always better. What the market needs is always a product with optimal quality and value.

Just the Size

If we only focus on the size of a module can potentially cause a series of problems and risks to power plants and even do harm to revenue.

Which size

is the best choice for a quality station?

Let’s start from the entire life cycle.

Transportation

PV modules are shipped to all parts of the world mainly by container.

The current most widely accepted method for loading modules into a container is to place them on a pallet vertically in landscape orientation.

The standard module size is designed based on international container sizes and is calculated against various parameters, taking into consideration the risk of cracks and other damage during transportation.

“BIG ≠ SUITABLE”

(1) Risk of microcracks or breakage during transportation increases if the module size is too large.

(2) Risk of falling increases if the modules are laid upright.

Installation

In combining ergonomics and design, the optimal module width is derived from the natural expansion width of human arms.

“BIG ≠ BEST”

(1) The size of the module should be designed for easy handling by two persons, ensuring both safety and reliability.

(2) Too large a module size will cause problems in handling and installation.

Install on Rooftops

Digging deeper into maximizing revenues from limited installation area, higher module efficiency is the key.

(1) Higher efficiency represents more system capacity in limited areas.

(2) Reducing weight burden on structures opens a lot of opportunities.

(3) Use 550Wp module as benchmark, a simple comparison of 27,2kg (10.6kg/sqm) and 32.6kg (12.5kg/sqm), which one is more acceptable from owner’s perspective?

Application

Various factors need to be taken into consideration when defining module size.

An excessively large size may, for example, result in risk of hot spots and may also bring challenges and risks to load capacity.

“BIG ≠ RELIABLE”

It takes time to verify long-term reliability under extreme weather conditions.

Conclusion

Unlimited expansion of module sizes should not be the first choice to reduce the LCOE.

Bigger modules may result in inconvenience during product installation and maintenance.

A continual increase in size will also hinder the standardization of module products and impact the healthy and sustainable development of the industry.

It is essential to comprehensively consider reliability and safety during the entire life cycle of a power station when designing PV modules.

Which size PV module is the best choice for high-quality power stations in the grid parity era?

The ongoing pandemic has brought about a broad, deep, and irreversible shift to online for businesses and consumers, a trend that will continue in the new normal. Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, outlines three key predictions for the Philippine e-commerce market in the areas of payments, logistics, and digitalization.

Martin Yu, Director at Shopee Philippines, said, “2020 was an especially transformative year for e-commerce. As consumers adhered to social distancing measures and stayed home, they turned to online platforms for their daily needs and entertainment and interaction. 

Whether you’ve been together for months or years, new lovers, engaged, or married, there is no secret that coming up with some great ideas for Valentine’s Day can be stressful, perhaps even more so amid the coronavirus pandemic.

While things may seem different this year, there are still ways to make the love month extra special for your husband, wife, girlfriend, boyfriend or even someone special you’re not dating…yet. As the saying goes, if you really want to do something, you’ll find a way, especially for someone so dear to you.

For the past years, malls are the go-to place of most lovers particularly the young ones – watching movies at the cinema, buying each other’s gifts and flowers, and dining at their favorite restaurants, then here comes the public health crisis.

The good news is, shopping malls are now redefining customer experience to address the safety and minimum health standards as well as the constantly changing needs of customers.

To celebrate love month, SM City San Jose del Monte turned its plant exhibition at the mall atrium into a garden of love, where customer can buy a bouquet of fresh or dried flowers, or just a simple potted plant for their loved ones. Inside is a designated dining area where they can bring their take-out food from their favorite restaurants and be surrounded by ornamental plants curated to give the Valentine vibes.

Adapting to the “new normal”, SM City Baliwag also creates extended dining area that let diners create memories through its interiors, designed with royal red accents and surrounded by nostalgic toy soldiers. The attraction not only provides space for eating but also serves as a perfect spot to take Instagram-worthy photos.
