Hybrid PV + BESS is reshaping renewable operations — join us on April 28 with TGS Prediktor to explore how operators optimize performance, manage complexity, and turn high-quality data into better decisions at scale.

Hybrid PV + BESS assets are growing fast — but operating them is far more complex than managing solar or batteries alone.
Battery storage introduces fundamentally different behaviors, constraints, and performance dynamics. In hybrid plants, this demands tighter coordination across generation, storage, forecasting, dispatch, and asset performance.
As a result, operators need a clear, real-time understanding of how their assets are performing. Without strong data quality and visibility, small inefficiencies can quickly turn into material performance losses.
Join this pv magazine Webinar for a practical, experience-driven discussion on how hybrid assets are operated in the real world — and what it takes to optimize performance on a day-to-day basis.
Energy data company TGS Prediktor will demonstrate how centralized operational platforms provide renewable energy operators with the real-time visibility and trusted data needed to manage solar and battery portfolios at scale.
From TGS Prediktor, Per-Christian Gundersen will explore the growing role of storage within hybrid plants and the operational implications this brings. Casper Johansen will show how high-quality operational data enables faster, better decisions while supporting portfolio growth without adding complexity.
We will also hear from global independent power producer Scatec. Andreas Størdal will share the owner-operator perspective, offering practical insights and lessons learned from operating hybrid PV + BESS assets in the field.
pv magazine Webinar content:
- Real-world lessons learned from Scatec’s hybrid PV + BESS operations
- How hybrid plants change operational requirements compared to standalone assets
- Why data quality and real-time visibility are critical for performance and decision-making
- Understanding battery behavior, availability, and operational constraints
- How to scale hybrid portfolios without increasing operational complexity
- Panel discussion: common operational pitfalls in hybrid projects — and how to avoid them
- Live Q&A
We encourage you to join live to take part in the discussion and ask questions during our dedicated Q&A session. Questions can be submitted in advance or via the chat during the webinar.
This webinar will be moderated by Tristan Rayner, Editor at pv magazine ESS News.
Registration is free of charge.
