Revamp Ready: Using Data to Guide Smart Upgrades

Recording from Wednesday, February 18, 2026 | Solar Quality Summit | Language: English | Duration: 64:23 .

As solar and storage systems mature, every upgrade decision – whether re-sizing through revamping, integrating BESS, or replacing core components – carries significant financial and technical consequences. This session shows how targeted interventions can transform legacy assets into high-performing, future-ready power plants. Through realworld case studies, participants will see how to diagnose system bottlenecks, prioritize upgrades that deliver the greatest return, and integrate new solutions – such as advanced inverters, trackers, storage, or re-sized plant layouts – without compromising existing performance. Emphasis on the human+analytics collaboration demonstrates how expert judgment complements operational data, providing actionable frameworks to maximize energy yield, extend asset life, and strengthen bankability.

Attendees will leave with practical strategies to turn aging portfolios into resilient, high-value assets – ensuring that every retrofit delivers measurable, lasting impact.

The smarter E Europe Conference 2023 | Conference Program

Our European energy system is undergoing a major transformation, moving towards decentralization with increased penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) connected to the grid, such as PV solar, battery storage, and EVs. While DERs provide clear benefits such as limiting costs, reducing CO2 emissions, and helping to empower consumers, there are still challenges to overcome to develop DERs to their full potential. This session will focus on best practices and innovative projects, both from a grid and user perspective (e.g. energy communities) and we will discuss how the regulatory framework can be improved to facilitate the penetration of DERs and active participation from consumers.
