DuPont and Enerpoint Highlight Risk Management for Rooftop Solar Installations in Italy

News

DuPont Photovoltaic Solutions (DuPont) and Italian Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) firm, Enerpoint, are hosting two key events during Solarexpo, April 8-10 in Milan, Italy, to help educate rooftop solar installers about best practices to mitigate risk and help ensure optimal system performance, lifetime and financial returns for rooftop solar energy systems.

"There are key considerations for rooftop solar installations that are very different from ground mounted systems and DuPont, together with Enerpoint, has developed some important insights on these variations to share with installers," said Stephan Padlewski, regional marketing manager, DuPont Photovoltaic Solutions.  "From sourcing panels with the right bill of materials, to operations and maintenance, it's our aim to help ensure rooftop photovoltaic (PV) systems power reliably for their expected lifetime of 25 years or more."

During Solarexpo, Padlewski will be a featured speaker addressing the key differences between ground and rooftop PV installations, in particular thermal stability of the protective backsheet, UV considerations and risk mitigation strategies to prevent long-term reliability issues.  He will also be sharing the results from a recent survey of Italian-based rooftop installers and project developers that focuses on market trends and forecasts, the perceived role of materials in increasing the power output and overall reliability of solar systems, improvement areas and remaining challenges.

DuPont and Enerpoint will also host an exclusive PV Quality Clinic where installers of PV rooftop systems will be able to directly interact with technical experts to discuss reliability and durability issues they are confronted with in the field, and get recommendations and solutions.

"Enerpoint announced its collaboration with DuPont in 2014 and began closely monitoring the performance of rooftop solar panels in order to better understand and educate our customers about how to mitigate risk for rooftop systems in Italy," said Paolo Rocco Viscontini, founder and managing director, Enerpoint.  "We're looking forward to sharing some fascinating findings from this work during Solarexpo."

DuPont is the leading supplier of specialty materials to the solar energy industry, with advanced materials including DuPont Solamet photovoltaic metallization pastes and DuPont Tedlar polyvinyl fluoride films, designed to improve the power output, reliable lifetime and return on investment for solar energy systems.
