WELCOME TO THE ONLy PV BALANCE Of SySTEMS ENgINEERINg fOCUSED EVENT IN THE US

Master Balance of System Engineering – and Win the Battle for PV Market Share

The Competitive Edge in Utility Scale PV With 6,600MW of utility scale PV under development solar is fast becoming a major supplier of US grid energy. This market is heating up - that means it’s vital that you harvest every kilowatt-hour possible from your plant. To do that you need exceptional engineering.

yet few companies are focusing on Balance of Systems (BoS) - components that account for over 50% of total system costs. If you act now and improve your plants BoS you will sharpen your competitive edge and improve your Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) in one smart move.

This is why CSP today has created The Utility Scale PV Yield Optimization Conference & Expo 2010 - an event packed with practical PV engineering advice that will help you win big in utility scale PV.

You Need To Get Your BoS Right - NowPlant production is critical in assessing solar project viability and the bigger the contract, the bigger the stakes. That’s why BoS is critical now that PV is ramping up to utility scale. you know how vital it is to secure capital - to do this you need attainable predicted production levels that guarantee enticing returns for your investors. In a market where every cent counts LCOE errors & poor engineering will kill your bottom line.

Proving Bankability Investor and PPA provider confidence is essential to project development. By getting BoS engineering right you give yourself the best chance of avoiding the electrical losses and efficiency shortfalls that lead to losing financial support. your plant will also demonstrate a consistent ability to meet your promised level of energy - a plus for you and PV as an industry in the on-going battle with other renewable energy solutions.

The BoS Difference Improving BoS means you need to evaluate your system by looking at plant design, component selection and integration and predicting how every change will affect costs and overall output. It avoids the buy and try approach to engineering. Simply, when you focus on BoS - your plant’s life expectancy goes up.

for example, smart BoS dictates that you never buy a cheap module to cut short term costs -

because by factoring in overall plant efficiency the numbers show that the cost cut is not worth it. Thousands of engineering decisions like this go into the development and operation of a successful PV plant - considering BoS at every step carves out the efficiency gains that dictate profit margins.

The Best in PV Engineering Experience Whether it is poor component selection, flawed plant layout, costly wire design or badly executed O&M - inadequate Balance of System Engineering costs you time, money and output - this results in lost market share, terminated PPAs, and ugly balance sheets. Don’t let it happen to you! Attend The Utility Scale PV yield Optimization Conference & Expo 2010 and put yourself on the path to long term success.

With only 92MW of utility scale PV running in the US there has been little time to develop best practices - but developers, EPC’s, utilities and installers can take a shortcut and look to lessons learned from Europe that will save time and money.

This is why the Utility Scale PV Yield Optimization Conference & Expo 2010 features experts from across the global PV industry who will share their BoS engineering experiences, best practice tips and strategies. In developing this agenda we have conducted hundreds of hours of research to pinpoint the discussion topics that will help you formulate a Balance of Systems approach to tweak your plant into a streamlined solar powerhouse. Here is a small taste of what you will learn at the show:

> Tips & strategies on how to meet PPA performance projections

> Case studies on how European plants achieved optimal performance

> System design considerations that reduce labour, wiring materials and overall costs

> Component manufactures speak on product reliability, warranty and O&M support for your plant

> How intelligent systems can give you essential performance data and forecast power output failures

This conference drills down into component selection & integration, optimal design, & O+M to an advanced technical level of detail – covering every major component and technology including:

> Inverter reliability & durability

> Mounting systems

> Corner junction boxes

> Wiring design

> String level monitoring & inverter monitoring

> fixed tilt,1-axis & 2-axis trackers

> grounding lugs, roof membranes and many more

Plus, we look at warranties and host an instrumental BoS discussion with major stakeholders, equipment manufacturers, design groups, and utilities on developing standards to maximize efficiency gains.

Your Technical Concerns answeredShould you take a hit on initial costs and shoot for for long-term efficiency, or keep initial costs low? Are fixed tilt or 1-axis and 2-axis trackers the best option? How do you reconcile projected vs actual performance? All these questions and more are tackled at the Utility Scale PV Yield Optimization Conference & Expo giving you the case study examples and the technical facts and figures you need to make smart BOS choices.
