pv magazine Webinar | Has large-scale solar got its sums right?

Initiative partner: Sterling & Wilson

The march for low-cost solar shows no sign of halting, with developers and IPPs increasingly quoting aggressively low prices, particularly across growing solar regions such as India, Latin America and MENA.

With module prices found to be rising, and record-low PPAs squeezing profitability, is the solar industry getting its sums right? Under this tough new financial climate, is there a mismatch between what solar developers and financiers want, and what diligent EPCs can realistically deliver?

This webinar, co-hosted by Indian-headquartered EPC Sterling & Wilson, attempts to address these questions, examining whether there is a widespread misunderstanding between the various stakeholders about the true viable cost of solar plant development.

Joining pv magazine and Sterling & Wilson on the discussion will be representatives from the finance, developer and supplier world (companies TBC), each sharing their experiences, thoughts and suggestions on how to maintain quality, profitability and reliability in the grip of such financial squeeze.

Points that will be discussed during the webinar:
• Why are some regions at the forefront of record-low solar PPAs?
• Are investors fully aware of the true, viable cost of large-scale solar plants, from development through to O&M?
• What impact does module pricing have on development costs?
• How can EPCs better manage expectations of cost vs. profit?
• How best can standards be maintained during the price squeeze?
