Talk of session: Solar Financing: How to Finance the Fast and Large-Scale Deployment of Solar Power in Europe

An inflationary environment with high product and labor costs as well as rising interest rates have made investments into solar projects less attractive at a time when Europe needs to accelerate deployment in order to meet its climate targets. On top of that, policy makers are creating uncertainty among investors by implementing caps on revenues and rushing to modify an established electricity market design.

This session will cover:

  • Overview of the solar project financing landscape
  • Business models and solar investment trends
  • Insurability and risk assessment in PV projects
