Produce report on new business models for solar, state of play re technology, costreduction and maximising network value solar.
Put forward policy and regulatory asks(especially to remove barriers) and educatepolicy-makers.
Coordinate efforts to educate, inform and empower the consumer as lack of understanding is a key barrier.
Create industry commitments re quality/technicalstandards (e.g. data management, KPIs, security) & standard terminology.
Be a platform for solar industry to dialogue with other sectors and stakeholders e.g. aggregators, smart appliances, Blockchain etc.

Other ideas for work streams included electric vehicles, the residential segment, smart meters and Blockchain
innovation. Note that we don’t necessarily have to have different workstreams in the Task Force (most
SolarPower Europe Task Forces don’t), we could just organise conference calls and meetings around
deliverables e.g. Market Opportunities report, Policy Asks, Technical/Quality 10 Commitments, Consumer
engagement.

Energy and grid transformationGlobal trend – big shift in the electrical value chain
DER: Distributed Energy Resources
Renewable share: ~40% of capacity by 2035
Greater volatility, less predictability
More feed-in nodes

Energy and grid transformationMicrogrid participation
Power grid
Power grids are larger
conventional and spread out
grids with high voltage
power transmission
capabilities.
Microgrid technology can be
applied to weak grids making the
network more robust.
Microgrid
Distributed energy resources
and loads that can be
operated in a controlled,
coordinated way either
connected to the main power
grid or in “islanded”* mode.
Microgrids are low or medium voltage
grids without power transmission
capabilities and are typically not
geographically spread out. Nanogrid
Low voltage grids that
typically serve a single
building.
Microgrid technolog can be applim
Islanded mode: ability to provide power independently from the main power grid
Microgrids with RES as answer for rural electrification

PV & Wind Sources as replacement or support for Diesel Engines
Driver: fuel independence and lower LCOESecure power generation and fuel cost savings
© ABB Group January 6, 2017 | Slide 24
Fuel cost is volatile
Renewable energy cost is less volatile
and decreases over time
Renewable energy is economically
competitive today
Steady decline of renewable energy
installation costs is opening new market
opportunities
An optimized energy mix leads to a lower
cost of electricity
