Utility-Scale Solar Power I: Trends in Development, EPC, O&M, Asset ManagementWhile administrative hurdles are still a great concern for solar developers, EPCs also face material supply shortages, continuously new products and a shortage of qualified installers. At the same time, the current inflationary environment is creating immense cost pressure at each step. As high systems yields are crucial for the profitable operation of utility-scale power plants, O&Ms and asset managers employ sophisticated digital tools and advanced analytics to optimize the performance of utility-scale solar plants. This session will discuss:The status of utility-scale solar power in EuropeHow to address project development challengesThe evolution of solar EPCThe latest digital solutions in O&M and asset management

While new-generation PV modules come with a 30-year performance warranty and lower degradation rates, the high innovation speed of solar technology, constant product changes due to material supply constraints and heavy cost pressure are casting doubt on the quality and reliability of solar system technology, in particular for multi-million, large-scale solar power plants.This session will discuss:Quality and reliability concerns for solar power plant technologyProcurement strategies for solar system componentsBest practices for quality controlHow to decarbonize the grid with 24/7 renewable energy supplyWhy the first big corporates are asking for 24/7 renewable energy supply
