Room 14 B

The profitability of hybrid PV power plants has improved significantly. In addition to steep cost declines in solar and storage solutions, evolving policy frameworks support a variety of business models for hybrid PV power plants to address flexibility needs. This includes merchant markets, PPAs, grid services and contracts for difference. In addition, some companies are requesting a 24/7 renewable energy supply that matches hourly supply and demand.


This session will provide:

  • Economic viability analysis of hybrid PV power plants
  • Overview of viable business models for hybrid solar projects
  • Case studies showcasing different technology combinations and market offerings
  • Update on 24/7 renewable energy matching
