Subsidy free PV: Transforming the energy landscape
Thank you for joining us, alongside our initiative partner SolarEdge, in exploring one of the most exciting developments in the 2019 European solar market – subsidy-free PV!
New features together with our interactive Roundtable format, make our events participatory and engaging, providing the opportunity for high level discussion, and a deep dive into the critical technical and technological issues.
*Prize draw closes Friday 24 May @ 5pm
Identifying new benckmarks and innovative technologies defining PV’s future
As utility scale subsidy-free arrays in Europe’s south gain momentum, and the right to self-consume becomes secured across the EU, the role of the prosumer, intelligent battery storage, P2P energy, and distributed PV models such as VPPs are growing in importance.
The Future PV Roundtable will address a range of issues across this dynamic and fast-emerging sector including an examination of the key benchmarks required for subsidy-free utility scale arrays – and the technologies that will enable their rollout. Looking to the rooftop segment, how solar energy from distributed generation and storage systems can be monetized on energy markets is a growing concern, and optimizing self consumption becomes king: energy management, optimization and monitoring, vehicle-to-grid, frequency response and more.
