Talk of session: Utility-scale Solar Power: Trends in Development, EPC, Digitalization and Asset Management

Utility-scale solar projects face challenges like rising costs, supply chain volatility, and the impacts of extreme weather. Digitalization, including digital twins and advanced analytics, enhances O&M, asset management, and data integration, though implementation hurdles remain. Ensuring module reliability, product quality, and end-of-life practices like recycling and repowering is crucial. By embracing digital tools and robust strategies, the sector can optimize performance and sustainability throughout the project lifecycle.
