According to Eurostat data, the current share of renewable energy in Czechia could double to 35% by 2030. This presents a huge opportunity for the already-growing industry in the country.
But what are the opportunities and trends that you need to look out for in this region? This session will examine all this and more with lessons from case studies.
The Italian market is well-established, but challenges persist in permitting, planning, and grid investment, among other challenges varying from region to region. With these issues creating flux, change, and frustration within the industry, what actual opportunities are available to help drive positive change for the future of the Italian market?
This session will examine and propose solutions to these issues, sharing learnings from across the value chain on how to deal with this transition period.
JinKo Solar's Carlos Magistris will dive into the latest product innovations, including advancements in N-type technology, and will reveal the latest product roadmap.
What are the 'easy wins' that developers can move forward with in order to alleviate bottlenecks?
What can we learn from other countries' permitting and planning processes, and what lessons can we learn from those countries that have cleared the way for solar deployment
Uncapping the bottlenecks through collaboration and communication across all points
What role do farming, agricultural, historical and even archaeological associations & organisations play in deploying solar PV projects?
How can developers bring local communities along with them, and what are the benefits of doing so?
As the most successful technology in the RESS 3 auctions and the fastest connecting renewable energy resource, the Irish solar industry is developing at a tremendous pace. The first utility scale solar project became operational in 2022. By the end of 2023, there was 1GW solar connected to the grid. These are milestones to be celebrated on the path to energising 8GW of solar by 2030. This session will delve into how Ireland is super-charging its’ renewable and solar PV industry growth, and what you need to be aware of when operating in this region, using project case studies to illustrate key challenges and learnings.
Brought to you by Astronergy, this session will demonstrate how a sustainability strategy has been implemented and how it has been taken into operation.
Speakers Timo Franz & Dr. Yi Deng will also share solutions for helping others gain green power and share case studies.
Using best practice case studies, this session will examine strategies for effective monitoring, maintenance, and optimisation of solar assets.
The importance of proactive risk management and mitigation planning, and what to consider: climate change, political landscapes, impact on asset performance.
How to be proactive in planning in order to respond to an increasingly dynamic market.
What is the effect of AI, how can it be used for greater efficiency of assets?
The skills and recruitment gap remains one of the biggest barriers to successful project deployment, but how can companies armour themselves with the best workforce possible? The answer lies in upskilling and retention.
