Solar Bankability WEBINAR - October & November 2016
Solar Bankability project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 6499 with the aim to contribute to the reduction of the risks associated with investments in sustainable energy projects. Solar Bankability offered two webinars hosted and moderated by SolarPower Europe
Solar Bankability WEBINAR
Technical Risks & Mitigation Measures in PV Project Development and during Operation
October 20 at 15:00 CET
The first webinar hosted and moderated by SolarPower Europe - Solar Bankability partner was offered to discuss the core results so far before the last turn of the project and the final report.
- David Moser, PhD, EURAC research Institute for Renewable Energy and Coordinator of Solar Bankability project, presented the first attempt to implement cost-based Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to the PV sector and to define a methodology for the estimation of economic losses due to planning failures, system downtime and substitution/repair of components.
- Ulrike Jahn, Senior Expert, TÜV Rheinland Energie und Umwelt and Solar Bankability partner, shared highlights from the latest analysis from the project and presented the results of the identification and categorisation of mitigation measures before and after the operational phase of a PV project
WEBINAR- Solar Bankability & LCOE analysis, Cost and Business Analysis - Lessons from Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa
22 November 2016 (at 15:00 CET)
The second webinar with the support of the African-EU Renewable Energy Cooperation Programme (RECP), featuring:
- Jan Cloin, EU Energy Initiative Partnership Dialogue Facility (EUEI PDF), RECP, opened the webinar with some general remarks on the solar market in Africa
- Arjan Visser, ElectriFI presented how technical risks affect financing decisions for solar PV plants and the associated specificities and expectations from the investors in the fast growing market of sub-Saharan region.
- Mauricio Richter, PV Expert R&D, 3E and Solar Bankability partner, has look into how technical assumptions are accounted in the various PV cost elements and how identify the gaps of present day models in order to enable the stakeholders to foresee hidden technical risks and their potential impacts. He also presented latest results from the sensitivity analysis to establish a link between technical risks, cost components and the LCOE.
- Matthias v. Armansperg, Managing Director, ACCELIOS Solar and Solar Bankability partner has introduced a methodology to determine the financial impact of technical failures and present a modelling tool to assess the impact of technical failures on the overall financial performance of four representative PV business models.
