This study provides a techno-economic assessment of green steel manufacturing.

Despite the global exponential growth of solar power, challenges currently loom large — from soaring debt costs to dwindling capture prices and escalating curtailment rates. These hurdles threaten to impede deployment growth in the urgent race to triple renewables installation by 2030. The pressure for innovative solutions and rapid action is high, and financing is key. Our session will therefore convene investors, developers and financing institutions to analyze key issues and explore new perspectives on solar finance, with the aim of driving the realization of a sustainable and prosperous future through advanced solar initiatives. Topics will include:1. Assessing financing conditions for solar power plants2. Analyzing the impact of policy shifts on PV project financing3. Strategizing to enhance solar project financingThis panel discussion is organized by the Bundesverband Solarwirtschaft (BSW-Solar) in cooperation with the Women Energize Women (WEW) initiative.Women Energize Women (#womenenergize) is a campaign for the global empowerment of women in the energy sector by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK). It is implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) within the scope of BMWK's global project Bilateral Climate and Energy Partnerships and Dialogues.

The study provides an insight into the status of PV battery power plants in Europe.

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.

The field of agrivoltaics (Agri-PV) is growing increasingly in Germany and in France. The level of interest from players in agriculture, energy supply and research is rising sharply.
