Session 7 | Policy, reality, and vision: 360-degree solar in EU

As the energy storage sector continues to grow and mature, understanding costs and revenue opportunities is the highest priority for many stakeholders. As lithium-based batteries continue to dominate the sector, the outlook on costs, materials, and technology remains the key question. In addition, we will also explore the most attractive markets and revenue opportunities for BESS in Europe, beyond the wins in transferring energy from generation to times of demand.

Let's speed it up! 

The hydrogen economy is coming, and it will be big. But when will the market develop, and what prospects will it open for the solar industry to increase revenues and find off-takers? We'll dissect where hydrogen production works and why, where it falters, and where it's commercially sound. We&rsquo;ll dive into the heart of hydrogen production&mdash;the electrolyzers, and have a look at the different technologies, their expected cost degression, and whether colocation with solar plants is a reasonable opportunity. Finally, we explore PtX technologies, assess their development speed, and discover which electrolysis tech is gaining ground.

Session 9 | Hydrogen: Potential meets reality - where are the opportunities for solar industry 

Decreased prices and excessive stockpiling may excite project developers and lead to market distortions. And, when considering how PV manufacturing can make a comeback in Europe, it adds considerable risk to any thought of a renaissance. In the first part, we discuss how much further prices can drop or when they will rise again. In the second part, we discuss the status of the various measures planned by the EU and the member states to promote domestic production, what is planned related to the ban of forced labor, and whether tariffs would be a threat or a benefit for Europe.
