Wafer, cell and module production technology is constantly evolving. With a market share of around 95 percent, silicon-based solar modules dominate the global market. While the passivated emitter and rear cell concept (PERC) is the working horse of the industry, we are now seeing a transition towards new technologies: The global production of tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon), silicon heterojunction (SHJ) and interdigitated back contact (IBC) cells has already reached GW level. European machine manufacturers are the leading suppliers of solutions for the global market. Their innovative equipment has been developed to enable the high-quality, efficient production of solar cells. In this session, machine and equipment suppliers will be talking with European cell manufacturers about the state-of-the art of production technology and the future trends in the beyond-TW-scale market.

Industrial and commercial flexibility is no longer experimental - it is becoming a core part of network operation and market participation. Across Europe, DSOs, transmission system operators (TSOs), aggregators and retailers are moving from isolated pilots to coordinated programs that avoid grid upgrades and deliver real capacity and financial value for all participants.This session focuses on the operational integration of C&I flexibility into routine grid workflows through dispatch, settlement, verification and commercial models. It highlights how flexibility is embedded in daily operations: from automated dispatch and verification tools to new contractual models that reward large energy users for adapting consumption. You will gain insight into replicable approaches for scaling flex portfolios, integrating them into control-room workflows and ensuring fair value-sharing across utilities, service providers and industrial consumers.
