New technologies arrive in the market every year, but which ones can already be used and which ones still need to mature for use? In this panel, some of these technologies will be addressed, such as BIPV, floating photovoltaic solar energy, agro-photovoltaic, integration of photovoltaic solar energy to vehicles, among others.

Photovoltaic prices have fallen continuously in recent years - a trend that should translate into a growing market for off-grid solutions. Declining costs are crucial for rural electrification in particular, making sustainable energy supply economically viable in remote regions. However, so far many of these price advantages have not yet reached the people that need them most. Do existing framework conditions to foster rural electrification still work in this new market reality? Which measures are needed to ensure that cost reductions reach our target group? This session discusses strategies for improving the availability of low-cost off-grid solutions, financing and innovative business models. A look at successful practical examples shows which political, economic and technological levers need to be pulled to make off-grid PV accessible on a large scale.
