Among energy technologies, solar is unique in its flexibility and range of applications. Rapidly growing niches including floating PV and agrivoltaics are proving their worth alongside the more established rooftop and ground mount market segments.

Hybrid systems combining solar with energy storage and other generation technologies are also becoming more common, in the pursuit of 24/7 emissions free energy. And this brings our industry into more frequent contact with other concerns, that need to be carefully managed.

‘A modern economy runs on electricity’

Renewable energy, 24/7.

As part of our Renewables 24/7 series, pv magazine spoke with German energy expert Tim Meyer about the many opportunities wrapped up in the energy transition, and why deployment of renewables at scale is now a necessary condition for the success of any advanced economy.
