Patrick Schmidt-Bräkling of BayWa r.e. explores uncertainty and future prospects in Europe’s solar PPA market and co-location sector.
CEO Talk: Module technology is evolving rapidly, even amid intense price competition. All the while, customers demand more power from their systems. Back contact cells represent the current pinnacle of development, but there’s more to be achieved. Where is the industry headed? We take a closer look.
Photovoltaic systems represent an essential component of the energy transition. As investments, operators naturally expect regular returns. This makes technical defects and damage all the more vexing – in particular when they are the result of avoidable mistakes.
With module prices currently low, investing in solar is particularly attractive, although conditions may not remain this favourable for long. The battery storage market is also gaining momentum, especially for large-scale systems. We spoke with Dutch market analyst Gerard Scheper about the key players, the drivers behind the shift and what changes to expect.
