"Empowering Installers to Integrate Solar and EV Charging: A Path Towards Cost-Effective E-Mobility Solutions in Germany"

The speaker emphasizes the crucial role of installers in Germany, noting their significant contribution to building nearly 4 million photovoltaic (PV) systems and 120,000 public EV charging stations. He proposes leveraging this expertise to further transform e-mobility by combining solar energy with electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. Highlighting his background in solar installation, he points out that solar energy is considerably cheaper than traditional electricity costs for charging EVs. By integrating these sectors—solar power and e-mobility—users could potentially achieve very low or even zero-cost driving. However, a challenge exists: many installers lack the necessary skills to manage both hardware and software integrations required for efficient operation of EV chargers. The solution proposed involves training installers through comprehensive support programs that automate processes using specialized software dashboards for remote management. This not only streamlines operations but also simplifies market entry despite its complexities. The program also addresses regulatory compliance and subsidies while emphasizing flexibility through a hardware-agnostic platform adaptable to various projects without locking into specific solutions. Ultimately, the goal is continuous innovation in mobility by enabling local experts with centralized support from consulting services spanning multiple industries. Installers are invited to join an Installer Partner Program which offers additional revenue streams and brand presence growth within the burgeoning e-mobility sector—a call-to-action supported by references like Douglas Adams' desire for "stuff that works" underscoring simplicity amidst technological advances.

Off-grid solar systems are often the least expensive option for rural electrification. Solar home systems can power individual households, while mini-grids can supply entire villages. Each comes with its own advantages, disadvantages, and challenges. The aim of this session is to explore challenges as well as success stories. It takes well-functioning components such as battery systems, charge management and inverters to make projects successful. Proper system sizing, maintenance and repair management, as well as a robust financial concept are also necessary. If one of these elements is missing, the electrification will not be sustainable. This session will focus on the aspects mentioned above. The speakers will present successful and unsuccessful approaches and discuss what can be learned from them.
