With solar power having added more capacity than all other power generation technologies combined in recent years, governments around the world have been increasingly putting solar at the heart of their decarbonization strategies. Next to China, the European Union probably has the most ambitious PV targets. Through its first Solar Strategy, the European Commission has defined targets for solar capacity growth of around 50 percent to 400 GWac (500 GWdc) until 2025, and another 50 percent by 2030.This session will cover:Global Market Outlook for Solar Power 2023-2027 (report launch)The role of solar power in global and European decarbonization policiesPolicies and business strategies for the rapid deployment of extensive solar capacities

Both the residential and the commercial segments have seen a boom in rooftop PV. With nearly two thirds of all new solar capacity installed on buildings in the EU in 2022, the deployment of solar rooftop installations will continue in the short term. The energy crisis has been contributing to driving the demand for rooftop PV installations, with homeowners striving to protect themselves against surging retail energy rates and looking for affordable electrical heat and transportation options. This session will discuss:Drivers & challenges for rooftop solar PV in EuropeTechnical solutions for high levels of solar self-consumptionBusiness models for prosumers

Hybrid power plants can help overcome the limits of flexibility of renewable power generation sources. As solar and wind power are fairly complementary, combining them enables developers to extend their services. And when neither the wind blows nor the sun shines using solar and wind power together with other technologies, such as hydropower or battery storage, even makes a renewable energy supply around the clock possible.This session will discuss:The concept of hybrid solar power plantsOpportunities and challenges for energy supply around the clockLegal frameworks and technical boundary conditions for hybrid solar power supply

The pressing need to mitigate the impact of climate change and to deal with the ongoing energy crisis requires a new regulatory framework in Europe. This is why the European Commission has presented a legislative proposal for the adaptation of the EU Electricity Market Design in Q1 2023. But how would this new framework impact the energy storage market? How would the provision of flexibility be encouraged? How would existing entry barriers for energy storage be further reduced? In this panel, representatives from the EU, utilities, IPPs and storage providers will be discussing whether the new market design is suitable for incentivizing both the necessary energy storage installations and ideas for future improvements.
