Almost anywhere in the world, solar power is now the cheapest way of generating electricity. For the first time in history, this "home-made" electricity is able to compete with grid power. The technical options are diverse, ranging from off-grid to on-grid and many hybrid forms. This could completely change the way in which electricity is supplied, affecting both off-grid and on-grid applications. This panel discussion will be addressing the opportunities and challenges of the coming years.
