Workshop «Technical Requirements of Components for Alpine PV Systems»
The realisation of alpine PV plants faces specific challenges compared to plants on the Swiss Plateau. In the Alps, wind loads are higher, snow drifts occur, temperature cycles are faster and more extreme, and irradiation of energy-rich UV light is increased. These conditions result in additional requirements for module design, supporting structures, system technology, maintenance, and operational management.
This workshop will provide insights into the requirements for components of alpine photovoltaic systems and offer the opportunity to exchange views on technical topics. The main focus will be on modules, their connection to the substructure, and system technology.
The workshop is aimed at experts involved in the design and realisation of photovoltaic systems in the Alps.
Discover the unique technical challenges of alpine PV systems and learn how experts design solutions for extreme conditions. Join us for insights, best practices, and real-world experiences from pioneering projects above 1,500 metres.
