Solar companies that want to maintain their position in the market cannot compromise on the quality and reliability of their products, even in the face of today's immense price pressures. But how can high-quality, long-lasting products be guaranteed in a highly competitive business environment that demands constant innovation in product design and changes in the bill of materials to quickly reduce costs?This session will provide:Best practices for maintaining high-quality standards while innovating product designStrategies for PV product procurement ensuring long-term reliability despite continued cost pressuresDiscussion on quality assurance programs and benchmarks for product reliability testing, from procurement, pre-production, production to post-shipment

Amid rising geopolitical tensions, Europe's dependence on imported solar products continues to grow. While the European solar market is growing, domestic manufacturers across the entire value chain are struggling, losing market share, shutting down facilities, or exiting the sector due to declining profitability. So far, support from Brussels and national governments has been insufficient and too slow to create the conditions needed for a revival of European solar manufacturing. Now, hopes are pinned on the Net Zero Industry Act (NZIA), which aims to boost local production through domestic content requirements in auctions and public procurement.This session will provide:Update on the European solar manufacturing landscape across the value chainCost-competitiveness analysis of European solar manufacturersInsights into policy support, investment opportunities, and start-up potential for European PV manufacturingHigh-level panel discussion on the future of solar manufacturing in Europe

Hybrid solar power plants are an emerging area in the energy sector, combining various technologies to provide more efficient and reliable power generation. With a close look on various case studies of hybrid solar power plants we will demonstrate that these systems are increasingly being used as viable solutions to meet growing energy demands, particularly in regions with variable weather conditions. By integrating solar installations with other energy sources, such as wind power or conventional power plants, a continuous power supply can be ensured, even when solar radiation fluctuates.
