The photovoltaics market continues to grow: the cumulative installed PV capacity in Europe reached 151.7GW at the end of 2020. The potential for both residential and commercial applications is still huge. But the market requirements change. In addition to larger modules with higher outputs, visual aesthetics play an increasingly important role. This also influences the requirements for assembly systems. PES spoke with Christoph Dorscht, Head of Mounting Structure Division of IBC SOLAR, to discuss current trends and why size certainly matters.
