The business of solar is changing, as the industry scales up, technology, IT and new players to the market will add complexity. This sparks a host of opportunities such as co-location of solar and storage and the rise of unsubsidised solar projects as well as challenges which will question the very business model of European solar asset owners.
Solar Finance & Investment Europe is the meeting place for institutional investors, sovereign wealth funds, solar, wind and storage funds and large energy buyers to do business.
Always senior, packed with the very people at the forefront of the energy transition, this is the meeting serious contenders start their year with. 2021 is no exception, come to find out about institutional investors’ plans for the market, new solar markets, solar+storage, post-subsidy projects, large energy buyers’ needs, bifacial panels and trackers, Spain, Portugal, UK, Ireland, Italy, France, Netherlands, Greece, Ukraine and many more… and leave with new business.
The Solar Finance & Investment Europe Conference includes multiple streams filled with developers, financiers, utilities, investors, energy buyers and policy makers.
The 2021 agenda will be released on 3rd June.

Liam Stoker reflects on last week’s Solar Finance & Investment Europe conference, where investors, developers and asset owners gathered to hear how emerging trends will shape Europe’s surging solar ecosystem in the coming years.
Panellists at London event were all confident market will retain momentum and grow bolder despite the speculative plays and competition from utilities and oil majors.
There is a “huge opportunity” for solar in Ireland, with the Renewable Electricity Support Scheme (RESS) providing a route to market for the technology.
Iberian operators tell London event they worry adoption of Lisbon’s solar auction design by neighbour Spain could entrench model producing prices developers ‘cannot survive’ on.
Free-market plays are spreading throughout Europe’s four corners despite risks that neither technology nor innovative finance can eliminate for now, say speakers at London event.
Wholesale price cannibalisation poses the most significant threat to Europe’s utility-scale solar industry, a panel of investors has heard at the London event.
Unlike other solar conferences, proceeds from the event help to fund high quality journalism across our media titles.
This supports the growth of the solar and storage industries as well as the transition to a cleaner power system.
