Utility-scale solar projects face challenges like rising costs, supply chain volatility, and the impacts of extreme weather. Digitalization, including digital twins and advanced analytics, enhances O&M, asset management, and data integration, though implementation hurdles remain. Ensuring module reliability, product quality, and end-of-life practices like recycling and repowering is crucial. By embracing digital tools and robust strategies, the sector can optimize performance and sustainability throughout the project lifecycle.

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.
