North America's leading event on optimizing solar asset management and operations: Growing at a steep average annual growth rate of 33%, the US solar market has recently passed the mark of 120 GW of cumulative PV capacity. Now - with 30 GW of utility-scale solar capacity set to come online over the next two years, and the new Inflation Reduction Act coming into effect - the future of PV in the US is looking sunnier than ever. Still, market dynamics like energy and commodity price increases, mounting solar supply chain constraints, and growing climate change and (cyber) security risks all have a profound impact on the market. To keep the industry resilient, the exchange of knowledge and network is more important than ever. The 9th edition of ‘Solarplaza Summit Asset Management North America’ will once again provide this platform, combining a crowd of key local and global players, market insights from inspirational speakers, and extended networking opportunities for two action-packed days in San Diego.

Floating solar PV is an emerging technology with the potential for rapid growth. The demand for floating solar PV is expanding, especially on islands as the cost of the water surface is generally lower than the cost of land. Currently, most activity on floating PV relates to freshwater artificial reservoirs. Notwithstanding, the combined use of offshore solar PV with offshore wind is possible, because the solar panels can float between the wind turbines at sea, resulting in a hybrid system that can provide more stable power for the grid 3rd Annual Floating Solar PV Forum will take place as a two-days summit and will explore the global importance of floating solar. The event will unite policy makers and top thought leadership on one stage and unfurl the green recovery playbook. It will greatly explore the most lucrative opportunities that awaits in the renewable energy sector, whether it be the expansion of infrastructure, the electrification of end use sectors or decarbonising the way we do business, therefore, charting the path for the energy majors of tomorrow.

Energy storage is on the rise in the USA due to new decarbonization targets and higher percentages of variable renewables in the grid, according to NREL . Energy Storage will grow up to 650 GW by 2050. Also, the Biden-Harris administration aims to reach a net-zero goal by 2050. This is a great time for energy storage projects to thrive from start to end. The industry is also full of challenges. Energy storage project developers face a patchwork of regulation and permitting processes throughout the country which means entry barriers are high. As business models aren’t standardized, each project requires time to work out a monetization strategy for each specific case. The industry also needs considerable de-risking and competition is rife. To top it all, supply chains are clogged with bottlenecks, and costs have been going up relentlessly for the last few months. RENMAD Storage USA 2023 will resolve the top challenges on your list as well as give you key knowledge that will help you take your projects to the next level. Join RENMAD Storage USA 2023 to capitalize on the opportunities to build storage projects in the US over the next 5+ years.

The United States is now at the forefront of the global renewable hydrogen industry, propelled by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which provides up to US$3/kg in subsidies to low and zero carbon hydrogen. This is a once in a century opportunity to build a resilient, fast-growing industry on US soil. This is the main challenge: scaling-up and lowering the levelized cost of renewable hydrogen (LCOH) enough to displace gray hydrogen and become a competitive feedstock for chemicals traded globally. Now is the time to position your company as a leader in the zero-carbon H2 industry in the US. Join us at RENMAD H2 USA (Las Vegas, April 20-21), the event where you will meet leading renewable H2 players to exchange knowledge, network and do business.
