Panel discussion

As co-located solar and storage projects scale across Europe, developers are navigating vastly different market rules, grid behaviours, and revenue opportunities. This session explores how to optimise hybrid project design and operation in the real world, practical strategies for constraint management, and how co-location supports risk diversification and better utilisation of existing assets.

  • How market rules shape dispatch strategy and revenue stacking across countries
  • Using storage to manage constraints, curtailment, and grid compliance in real time
  • Where co-location delivers value and where it fails to justify added complexity
