Join ASU's LightWorks at two event opportunities featuring Mahesh Morjaria from First Solar.

The Development of Utility Scale PV Plants
This talk will cover a number of technical challenges in achieving both scale and reliability of utility scale photovoltaic (PV) plants required to make solar energy affordable and sustainable. Experience gained from the development and execution of utility scale projects for a very large (over 3 GW) contracted pipeline provides valuable lessons. The discussion will include a road map to cost-reduction through standardization and scale, critical developments in grid integration systems, and the advancements in these cost-effective systems.
