  • #TSEP 226 Built to Last: Business Resilience in the Renewables Industry
    It’s not for the faint of heart: succeeding as a manufacturer in the fiercely competitive solar and energy storage industries. So, why do some companies thrive, while others fail? As relatively young industries, clean energy markets offer rapid opportunities – but they can disappear just as quickly. The solar industry, in particular, has seen a long list of manufacturers rise and fall amid shifting market forces and policy landscapes. Today, with solar nearing maturity and battery storage following close behind, there’s renewed optimism. Greater policy stability, growing investor confidence, and economies of scale could pave the way for a more resilient and diverse manufacturing ecosystem. How this plays out will vary across regions – making it all the more important to examine what’s working, what’s not, and what lessons we can take forward. Jonathan Gifford discusses in this podcast with Ivan Saha, Sebastian Gatz, and Josefin Berg, why the competition in the solar industry and energy storage market is so challenging. About the Speakers Ivan Saha is the CEO of Renewable Manufacturing at Reliance Infrastructure (Rinfra). Before this, he worked at the Indian solar manufacturer Vikram Solar for nearly a decade, serving as both CTO and CEO. Sebastian Gatz is the Vice President, Renewable Energies & Strategic Partnerships at Von Ardenne. Before joining Von Ardenne, Gatz had diverse experience with production equipment suppliers, including Meyer Burger and Manz. Josefin Berg is a Research & Analysis Manager for Solar & Energy Storage at S&P Global Commodity Insights. She has worked in solar and storage analysis at IHS Markit, which was then acquired by S&P, for approximately 15 years.

  • #TSEP 225 Solar Meets Storage: Unlocking the Potential of PV Power Plants and Large-Scale Battery Systems
    Hybrid solar, which combines solar energy with storage or wind, is key to Europe’s energy transition. It supports system flexibility, improves the cost-effectiveness of an asset and makes energy generation more reliable. Overall, large-scale storage accounts for a significant portion of the current BESS storage growth. However, there are still a few hurdles to be overcome, and growth isn’t where it should be. In this episode, we will discuss the current state of the large-scale battery storage market, particularly the hybrid solar market, its prospects, and how to overcome the remaining roadblocks. About Antonio Arruebo Antonio works at the Market Intelligence team of Solar Power Europe, the premier association for the European solar PV and storage sector, which unites 320+ organisations.

  • #TSEP 224 Enabling Flexibility: Balancing the Grid with Storage & E-Mobility
    We’re in the midst of a mobility revolution – one that’s reshaping not only how we move, but how we power our lives. Electric vehicles (EVs) of all shapes and sizes are accelerating the rate of change, transforming the way we move and the framework of our energy systems. Because what’s especially interesting about EVs is that in addition to being vehicles, they’re also mobile batteries. And the way they connect to our grids, homes, and the broader electricity network could become one of the most powerful tools we have in harnessing and optimizing solar and wind energy. Jonathan Gifford discusses the mobility revolution in this podcast with Adele Zhao, Gerard Reid, and Thomas Raffeiner. About the Speakers Adele Zhao is the Head of Marketing, Product & Service, Europe, for Solar Energy & Storage, at Trina Solar. She has been with the company for 16 years and has been based in its Zurich, Switzerland office since 2015. Adele leads teams across marketing, product management, and service, working closely with both internal cross-functional teams and external partners. Gerard Reid is a leading global expert and financier in the energy transition space. An independent advisor and published author, he is co-host of the highly acclaimed “Redefining Energy” podcast, which explores how finance, technology, innovation, markets and regulations are radically redefining the world of energy. Thomas Raffeiner is the founder and CEO of The Mobility House. His goal is a zero-emission energy and mobility future at no cost for all of us to achieve this net zero vision. In 2009, Thomas founded The Mobility House, one of the first service companies for electromobility in Europe. Today, he is working on innovative energy services and intelligent storage solutions. About the Companies Trina Solar is a global leader in photovoltaic products, applications, and services. Founded in 1997, the company is based in China and has expanded its operations to over 100 countries and regions.
