The Disruptive Design Technologies Powering the Next Generation of Utility-Scale PV

Time: 11:50 - 12:30
Date: 16 April 2026

Synopsis

  • Is PV design now the critical constraint in scaling to multi-GW deployment?
  • The hidden cost of redesign cycles between concept, detailed design, and construction.
  • The financial and risk implications of yield shifting between stages
  • Can we eliminate the redesign between feasibility and IFC?
  • Can one engineer now design 5x–10x more capacity per year than they could a decade ago?
  • In the European context, do geopolitical influences on the development process make energy bottlenecks better or worse?
