Distributed Solar PV Generation

Recording of Wednesday, August 27, 2025 | Intersolar South America | Conference Program | Language: English | Duration: 84:29 .

Distributed Solar PV Generation

Distributed solar photovoltaic generation (DG) holds a key strategic role in expanding renewable energy sources across Brazil. As the legal framework becomes firmly established, fresh opportunities and challenges are arising for integrators, investors, manufacturers, and consumers alike. This panel will examine the current landscape of solar DG, exploring market trends, regulatory implications, evolving business models, and how new technologies are driving more efficient and cost-effective projects. A vital discussion for anyone looking to grasp today's realities while gearing up for the future of decentralised energy generation.

Despite strong research capabilities and the presence of leading production equipment suppliers, Europe has been struggling to rebuild competitive wafer-to-module manufacturing, while the USA and India have enabled a local renaissance in solar manufacturing. In Europe, even long-established inverter manufacturers have been losing considerable ground. With the EU's Net Zero Industry Act yet to deliver momentum, attention is turning to the upcoming Industry Accelerator Act. This session examines how policy, investment and value-chain strategies can strengthen domestic manufacturing and increase internal value creation.Key topics:Overview of EU and national policy frameworks to support local manufacturingStatus of Europe's solar manufacturing value chainInvestment gaps and competitiveness challenges Strategies for triggering a sustainable solar manufacturing revival

Discover how green hydrogen and fuel cell technologies are transforming decentralized energy systems worldwide. This session will be presenting hands-on experience from pioneering projects in Thailand, Ghana, Namibia and South Africa. Find out how solar-powered hydrogen microgrids can replace diesel generators, strengthen energy resilience and enable short- to long-term storage, while supporting environmental and climate goals. Project partners including German SMEs and research institutes, share insights on lessons learned, local benefits and the replication potential of these systems. Selected projects were implemented with the support from the Export Initiative Environmental Protection, a funding programme of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Climate Action, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety.
