Agenda Themes
This theatre will focus on the residential solar sector, addressing key topics for installers, local authorities, and homeowners. Discussions will explore how to scale residential solar adoption effectively, with insights into community-driven projects, funding opportunities, and government support.
- Community solar projects – case studies
- Latest installer innovations
- Financing and grant options
- Getting started in solar installation
- Solar in snowy conditions / Floatovoltaics
- Local government case studies
This theatre will highlight how businesses across various sectors—including manufacturing, retail, healthcare, and education—are integrating solar into their operations. Sessions will feature real-world case studies and explore practical solutions to common challenges, from financing to grid connection and planning.
The objective is to provide actionable insights for commercial and industrial (C&I) stakeholders aiming to reduce energy costs and meet sustainability goals through solar adoption.
- Case studies from a range of C&I sectors (e.g. hospital, university, manufacturer, retailer)
- Connecting to the grid
- Financing options
- Corporate Power Purchase Agreements (CPPAs)
- Solar + storage integration
- Solar as a revenue stream
- Planning and permissions
- Emerging technologies
Storage plays a critical role in the adoption of solar energy, and this theatre will explore both residential and large-scale storage solutions. Sessions will cover financing models, smart grid integration, advancements in battery technology, and safety considerations such as fire risk monitoring.
In addition to battery storage, the theatre will also examine alternative energy storage technologies—including thermal energy storage, compressed air energy storage, and pumped hydro—and their potential to enhance grid flexibility and optimise renewable energy usage.
- Residential solar + storage
- Community storage projects
- Financing storage projects
- Smart grid integration
- Large-scale storage solutions
