Q&A & Conclusions: Utility-Scale Solar Power II: Quality, Reliability & Performance

free account

Recording of Tuesday, June 13, 2023 | The smarter E Europe | Conference Program | Language: English | Duration: 6:50 .

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 technology
  • Procurement strategies for solar system components
  • Best practices for quality control
  • How to decarbonize the grid with 24/7 renewable energy supply
  • Why the first big corporates are asking for 24/7 renewable energy supply

Photovoltaic prices have fallen continuously in recent years - a trend that should translate into a growing market for off-grid solutions. Declining costs are crucial for rural electrification in particular, making sustainable energy supply economically viable in remote regions. However, so far many of these price advantages have not yet reached the people that need them most. Do existing framework conditions to foster rural electrification still work in this new market reality? Which measures are needed to ensure that cost reductions reach our target group? This session discusses strategies for improving the availability of low-cost off-grid solutions, financing and innovative business models. A look at successful practical examples shows which political, economic and technological levers need to be pulled to make off-grid PV accessible on a large scale.
