Description: Heat and steam generation can be complicated to source for industrial players. In fact, for commercial and industrial (C&I) purposes, the demand for heat is vastly superior to the demand for electricity (74% vs 26% respectively). In this webinar, we explore the cost-opportunity for industrial players to use solar as their main source of heat and steam.

Description: Over past decade, PV has gone from an early adopter to a mainstream technology. In that process, the industry has professionalized greatly. Today, more than 340 GW are installed and PPAs have dropped from 45 US$ cents in 2006 to around 3 US$ cents kWh in 2017.
With PV margins getting thinner, the industry is more competitive than ever; and optimizing every aspect of the design, construction and operation is essential to win projects and lead the industry.
