Overview of BELECTRIC GmbH and Hybrid PV System Designs

BELECTRIC GmbH, a prominent EPC provider in solar and battery sectors in Europe and Israel, is celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2023 and is part of the Elevion group since 2021. The emphasis is on optimizing system designs for profitability, spearheaded by Johannes Linder, head of system design and innovation. A comparison reveals that grid-optimized PV systems of 60 megawatts using one-to-one grid sizing maximize capacity, whereas tracker systems are inefficient in space usage and limit output. Regulatory changes in Germany have eased restrictions on oversizing, thereby enhancing operational capabilities. Challenges such as grid restrictions significantly influence the design of hybrid photovoltaic (PV) and battery energy storage systems (BESS). Effective project strategies necessitate a well-defined framework, where crucial decisions on project type, technology, and design parameters significantly affect outcomes. Simulation and scenario analysis play vital roles in optimizing PV designs, revealing market dynamics through evaluating aspects like discount rates and optimizing system performance for improved economic viability.

Talk of session: Solar Power Plants and Storage I: From Concept to Commissioning - Development and Building Strategies for PV Power Plants in a Changing Market

While most new PV deployment in Europe is now utility scale, development and construction arebecoming more complex. The combination of grid congestion, curtailment, slower permit approvals and reduced capture prices is squeezing profit margins while storage integration, cost versus performance considerations and climate adaptation measures are transforming project design and financing. This session examines how developers and EPCs accommodate their strategies from concept to commissioning in order to deliver bankable, future-proof solar-plus storage assets.

Key topics:

• Development of strategies in the face of grid and cost pressure
• EPC best practices
• Automation and digital tools for system construction
• Storage integration and co-location design
• Contracting, risk allocation and bankability
