The conference took place at a time when renewable energy continued to expand despite the disruption caused by the global pandemic. Solar power remained central to the energy transition, offering organisations an opportunity to reduce environmental impact while responding to changing technology, market and investment conditions.

This two-day virtual event was designed to address the practical questions involved in developing a successful PV solar system. It examined how organisations could design, implement, operate and resource their solar energy projects in line with current technologies and industry trends, while maintaining both environmental and financial sustainability.

The programme covered global PV applications and future trends, solar system safety, operation and maintenance, solar power agreements, second-life batteries, solar irradiation and system selection, energy storage, demand shifting, engineering design and build case studies, module technology and project LCOE, carbon neutrality, and utility-scale solar development. Presentations brought together technical, commercial and sustainability perspectives from specialists across the region and internationally.
