Juan Monge of Wood Mackenzie Discusses 10-Year Forecast for Residential and Commercial PV in Europe at InterSolar Europe, Highlighting Policy Impacts and Future Flexibility Solutions

Juan Monge, a principal analyst with Wood Mackenzie, opens the session by introducing his role and focus areas which include residential and commercial photovoltaic (PV) systems across Europe. His work revolves around a 10-year forecast up to 2033, analyzing policy impacts, demand trends, and retail rate drivers that influence annual installation volumes of PV systems in Europe. Juan emphasizes two main themes: flexibility through distributed energy resources (DER) aggregation including virtual power plants, and policy mandates such as the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive. He underscores that while payback periods and ROI are crucial for adopting residential PV systems, other benefits like added revenue streams from DERs should not be overlooked. There is also an emphasis on decarbonizing efforts using solar PV in developed industrial urban clusters versus creating more jobs through decentralized generation. Additionally, he highlights how decentralized generation could contribute significantly to job creation compared to utility-scale projects. The presentation will cover various case studies showing these dynamics at play in different European countries along with detailed forecasts pointing towards significant growth despite potential declines due to decreasing retail rates. This sets the stage for understanding not just current market conditions but long-term strategic planning within Europe's evolving energy landscape.

Talk of session: Distributed Solar Power: Controlling Energy Bills in Residential and C&I Buildings

More than two-thirds of all new solar capacity added in the EU in 2023 was distributed. The EU's Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), which requires the installation of solar panels on buildings, will drive demand in the medium term. But what could speed up the deployment of rooftop solar installations on residential and commercial buildings in the short term? And how is the industry addressing the needs of these building types? This session will discuss:

• Drivers & challenges for distributed solar PV in Europe
• Technical solutions for high levels of solar self-consumption
• Business models for prosumers and offers from utilities
