As Europe’s solar fleet ages, repowering existing PV projects with updated components is becoming an increasingly attractive strategy. After more than a decade in operation, many power plants experience performance issues in the field, making upgrades not just beneficial, but essential.

While smarter inverters and more efficient modules often take the spotlight, updated cabling and electrical balance of system (eBOS) components can also dramatically extend project life and improve energy output. In this pv magazine Webinar, Shoals Technologies Group will introduce their solutions for the repowering market, designed to cost-effectively boost efficiency, enhance reliability, and extend system lifespan to 35 years and beyond.

This pv magazine Webinar will feature Nicholas Bramel, product line manager for Solar at Shoals, and Masha Birger, senior manager, product & content marketing at Shoals. Together, we will discuss common challenges faced by aging solar installations and show how Shoals’ latest eBOS solutions directly address them. Our guest speakers will also present a real-world case study from a project in Europe, showcasing the tangible performance gains achieved by implementing Shoals’ repowering solutions.

Join us to learn how strategic upgrades to eBOS infrastructure can breathe new life into older projects and unlock new value for years to come.
