Release
The design and construction of solar power plants requires the assessment of multiple technical factors to ensure that the plant is as cost effective as possible. With the first solar power plant tendered for in Morocco being CSP, the practical and technical criteria for optimization of such a plant have been explored extensively over the past year. With PV power plants expected in future tenders across North Africa, First Solar experts will lead an interactive and informative workshop to discuss the key criteria that must be evaluated to ensure the success of such a project. A select group of governmental, industrial and financial representatives have been selected to join this workshop to discuss and learn how to make PV power plants a success in the Maghreb region.
