Introduction: PV in its many forms

German installers play a key role in the energy transition, shaping the future of solar, wind, and efficient heating systems.

The rapid expansion of Brazil's PV industry, which mirror global growth trends, makes it vital to understand the challenges posed by trade barriers and tax policies in ensuring competitiveness and sustainability across the supply chain. This panel will bring together specialists in international trade, taxation, and logistics to examine key regulatory, tariff, and operational hurdles affecting component imports, technology localisation, and the distribution of solar equipment. The discussion will also cover how these factors influence project costs and sector growth strategies. For businesses and professionals, this represents a crucial chance to prepare for ongoing changes and adapt operations in an evolving landscape. This is a unique opportunity for companies and professionals to anticipate changes and adapt their operations in a continually evolving environment.

This session will explore how emerging monitoring practices and technologies can enhance the effectiveness of solar power plant operations and maintenance, and how AI-driven solutions can take this efficiency to higher levels.

Repowering and upgrading solar PV plants offer an effective pathway to enhance both efficiency and operational longevity. With ongoing technological advancements, operators can implement cutting-edge equipment and innovative strategies to optimise energy output while streamlining operational costs.
