Program
Solar Quality Summit Europe 2026

Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing PV forecasting by enabling faster, more accurate predictions that directly reduce imbalance costs and improve
energy trading strategies. This session explores how AI-driven forecasting is becoming a cornerstone of efficient, future-proof solar operations.

As PV portfolios scale, data has become a core asset for ensuring performance, reliability, and long-term value. This session explores how data-driven
strategies are transforming quality assurance, from design to decommissioning.

Designing for reliability from the outset is key to attracting investment and ensuring long-term performance. This session explores best practices in
system design, component selection, and documentation that directly enhance bankability and reduce operational risks.

Learn how to harness sensor data, fault patterns, and AI algorithms to detect early warning signs before failures escalate. This hands-on workshop will
equip participants with actionable strategies to cut O&M costs, minimize downtime, and extend system lifespan. (SUPERNOVA-project)

As hybrid PV and storage systems become the norm, seamless data integration is critical for performance optimization and control. This session
explores architectures, protocols, and analytics that enable unified monitoring, forecasting, and decision-making across PV-BESS assets.

This session explores how AI and data analytics can automate and optimize warranty and insurance claims processes, reducing administrative costs
and claim resolution time. Learn how data-driven insights improve risk assessment, enhance accuracy, and streamline post-installation support.

With PV systems increasingly connected and data-rich, cybersecurity is now a critical pillar of asset integrity and investor confidence. This session
outlines the evolving threat landscape and the strategic, regulatory, and design measures needed to build resilient solar infrastructure.

Small component failures can lead to significant operational disruptions and increased costs over time. This session will examine how precision in
component selection, design improvements, and quality assurance processes can prevent these failures and enhance overall system reliability.

This practical workshop offers step-by-step guidance on implementing data interoperability in PV operations, aligned with SolarPower Europe’s
upcoming digital taxonomy. Participants will learn how to lay the foundation for scalable, connected, and future-ready digital systems.

Accurate, site-specific weather forecasting is key to optimizing PV yield and operational planning. This session dives into how AI models—trained on
satellite, sensor, and historical data—are advancing short- and long-term forecasts to reduce curtailment, improve dispatching, and maximize uptime.

Maximizing lifecycle value requires data-informed decisions at the end of a system’s life. This session delves into how performance, failure, and asset
traceability data can guide repowering, recycling, and decommissioning strategies aligned with circular economy principles.

Join us for the official launch of SolarPower Europe’s EPC Best Practice Guidelines, designed to elevate project quality standards. This interactive
session will explore how AI and data-driven solutions are shaping the future of EPC, enabling more efficient project execution, cost savings, and
enhanced performance monitoring throughout the lifecycle.

Inverters are central to PV system performance but also serve as entry points for cyber threats. This session examines common vulnerabilities, best
practices for hardening inverters, and how digital security protocols can safeguard system integrity.
