Digitalised and responsive PV: The driver of Grid and Market evolution (Annual Conference 2024)

The conference wiill focus on advancing sustainable energy through intelligent PV systems for effective grid control. Cyber secure digitalisation has gained much prominence in the last few years. Fostering energy communities for shared sustainability is central in this evolution of technologies, ensuring PV responsiveness in adaptable power systems, and driving PV industry growth through digital responsiveness and effective data utilization. The conference aims to unite PV innovators and wider energy stakeholders to discuss, explore, and advance the integration of photovoltaic technology into a responsive sustainable energy future.
