SolarPower Europe / Solar Market Report & Membership Directory – 2016 EDITION / 3 Foreword: From the President and the CEO Dear Members, Welcome to the 2015 Market Report and the 2016 edition of the Members Directory. It’s the first time we are combining the Market Report and the Members Directory to bring together two of our flagship publications. The new format provides the details of all our members alongside the key numbers for 2015 to give visibility to both the evolution of the market and the key solar players in Europe. We hope you like this new format and encourage you to provide your feedback to us on the new style. Firstly, examining the figures, 2015 marked a good year for solar in Europe with an annual growth of some 15%. This is the first time the sector has grown year on year since 2010‑2011, so we should celebrate this achievement. Europe’s solar two‑digit growth in 2015, however, was primarily based on the UK market. Most other European solar markets are still in a transition phase. Globally 2015 was another record year for solar with a growth of over 25% on 2014, with more than 50 GW connected to the grid – up from 40 GW in 2014. The two biggest markets are located in Asia – China and Japan, while the USA ranked third. China not only added more than twice as much solar as Europe, it also exceeded 40 GW of total installed capacity as a country, taking the number one rank from long‑time leader Germany. At the global level solar is booming with new markets appearing across the globe, all presenting their own unique opportunity for our sector. With nearly 100 GW of installed capacity, Europe is still the most solarized continent. No other region can boast solar shares as high as Europe – on average nearly 4% of electricity demand comes from solar, and in its most advanced solar markets around 8%. The challenge is now to quickly master the transition phase – from solar markets that grew on feed‑in tariff incentive schemes to new, market‑based frameworks, where prosumers use solar power for self‑consumption in residential, commercial and industrial sectors. In that sense, Europe again is the pioneer of solar. After developing solar, Europe now has to quickly create a smart electricity market design that builds on the strengths of solar power technology to be able to profit from the low cost solar has achieved. In 2016 policy makers in Europe will play a key role in setting out the future of solar in Europe, with the legislative initiatives on electricity market design and renewable energy targets for the post 2020 period due to be brought forward. These need to build a stable and ambitious investment climate for solar to ensure that growth continues and that solar reaches its potential in Europe. There is still a lot of work to be done to see a sustainable level of growth achieved in Europe, but the work of SolarPower Europe in 2015 has begun the process to see that objective achieved. The foundation stones laid in 2015 have strengthened the association tremendously in comparison to previous years and with a new dynamic approach in place the successes of 2015 stand us all in good stead to make a difference in 2016. In relation to this, it is important to reflect on the key achievements of 2015. These are listed below to give you an overview of the increase in delivery and influence of SolarPower Europe: • The re‑brand of the association to a modern • The agreement to allow association members forward looking corporate approach. to stand for election to the Strategy Committee 4 / SolarPower Europe / Solar Market Report & Membership Directory – 2016 EDITION Foreword: From the President and the CEO and to vote in the AGM, finally giving full taskforce and a BIPV taskforce to address the inclusivity to all members. challenges and opportunities in our sector in • On policy, the European Commission initiative Europe today. on solar self‑consumption, fully reflected the • The recruitment of around 50 new members, asks of SolarPower Europe. membership rising from 97 in January 2015 to • The successful engagement with the European 132 in January 2016.

These key achievements are by no means an exhaustive list, but provide a flavour of the type of work that has been successfully undertaken in 2015. There will be more to come in 2016. Following on from the first strategic plan devised for 2015, the Board endorsed the approach for 2016, ensuring that the main focus of the association would be on consolidating in the European solar sector, to create a truly reflective membership fit for solar in Europe today. The plan also highlighted the key importance of advocacy success on the key dossiers already in front of us in 2016: Electricity market design, renewable energy targets for 2030, potentially ending the trade case and opportunities for solar in energy efficiency and buildings initiatives all coming out of the European Commission in 2016. As ever the Board and the Team continue to engage with the highest levels of European policymaking ensuring that your views are well represented on the issues of importance to you. In 2016 SolarPower Europe will continue its ethos of customer service orientation and innovation to make sure we are leading on the issues that matter to our sector today. Already we have instituted a storage and solar taskforce, aiming to identify the ways in which solar and storage can be promoted to be mutually beneficial. We will also continue to take forward our projects, with three particularly looking at new ways to provide finance for solar in Europe – PV Financing, Solar Bankability and CrowdfundRES. Innovative means will be needed to drive the sector forward as the age of traditional Feed‑in‑Tariffs (FIT) schemes comes to an end. This work is also backed up by the work we are undertaking in the Tendering Taskforce, to make sure that tenders better reflect best practice and a more harmonised approach across Europe. Enjoy reading the Market Report and Members Directory, we look forward to sharing a hugely successful 2016 with you!

  • An Industrial Strategy for Solar in Europe
    An industrial strategy for solar in Europe SolarPower Europe would like to thank the members of its Industrial Competitiveness Task Force that contributed to this report including: Chair Vice-chairs Sponsor Members: FOREWORD: THE SOLAR VALUE CHAIN: A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY FOR EUROPE As policymakers, investors and consumers increasingly enjoy the benefits of clean, flexible and low-cost solar power, solar technology has become the world’s most popular power generation source. In 2018, more solar power capacity was installed than all fossil fuel and nuclear sources combined, and almost twice as much as wind. In the coming years, SolarPower Europe anticipates 2-digit annual market growth in Europe, with solar playing a major role in meeting Europe’s 32% renewables target by 2030, and beyond. The potential for growth is indeed significant, as the latest studies suggest solar could cover 69% of Europe’s electricity generation in a 100% renewable scenario, with over 2 TW installed in 2050.1 Beyond its significant contribution to Europe’s clean energy future, the solar industrial value chain holds promise for Europe. It is highly innovative and offers modular, easily deployable energy solutions, able to quickly benefit from the effects of scale. Today, solar already provides both low-cost and highly efficient large-scale centralised solutions and decentralised consumer-oriented business models, enabling the creation of local and highly qualified jobs in Europe. Solar energy is an agile technology, it offers a high degree of flexibility and provides valuable services to the electricity grid. Combined with its low-cost profile and scalability, solar is a fundamental driver for the full decarbonisation of the European economy, providing highly efficient and sustainable electrification and, in a near future, converting green electrons into renewable molecules.

  • Potentials of the Sharing Economy for the Electricity Sector Regarding Private Capital Involvement and Decarbonisation
    Potentials of the Sharing Economy for the Electricity Sector regarding Private Capital Involvement and Decarbonisation Prof. Dr. Ingela Tietze, Pia Szichta, B.A. & Lukas Lazar, M.Sc. Institute for Industrial Ecology, Business School, Pforzheim University, Tiefenbronner Str. 75, D-75175 Pforzheim, Germany Phone: +49 7231 / 28-6361, Email: [email protected] Abstract Reaching the central objective of the Paris Agreement requires additional strategies in the European energy sector towards the (financing of) decarbonisation of electricity production. Sharing approaches imply a shift to a decentralised structure in the energy sector and deliver a possibility for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Main drivers and barriers for increased involvement of private capital and decarbonisation through sharing approaches in the electricity sector are addressed in this paper. Definitions, descriptions and characteristics of sharing economy in general and in specific for the electricity sector are investigated. Moreover, a multiple case analysis examines three selected case studies regarding their fit with sharing economy’s characteristics. Main drivers for the increased private capital involvement are lower investment levels and a higher degree of independence from centralised electric utilities due to the decentralised infrastructure of renewable electricity generation technologies. The main barriers are missing financial incentives for local energy and high requirements for small electricity suppliers which reduce the attractiveness for private capital involvement. We found that the integration of renewable energies and the visualisation of costs in the sharing economy concepts can lead to an increased decarbonisation rate and further environmental benefits. Consequently, we impose policy makers to consider a more favourable market environment for renewable generation capacities in sharing economy approaches to support the benefits involved.

Thus, the existing electrical grid may reach its physical limits. To counteract this, and to fully exploit the viable potential of renewables, grid-balancing measures are crucial. In this work, battery storage systems are embedded in a grid simulation to evaluate their potential for grid balancing. The overall setup is based on a real, low-voltage distribution grid topology, real smart meter household load profiles, and real photovoltaics load data. An autonomous optimization routine, driven by a one-way communicated incentive, determines the prospective battery operation mode. Different battery positions and incentives are compared to evaluate their impact. The configurations incorporate a baseline simulation without storage, a single, central battery storage or multiple, distributed battery storages which together have the same power and capacity.

    DEGREE PROJECT IN ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT, SECOND CYCLE, 30 CREDITS STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN 2021 Energy Usage of Smart Wayside Object Controllers An investigation and theoretical implementation of feasible energy storage and energy harvesting technologies in connection to a railway system ALEXANDRA JERRESAND MICAELA DIAMANT KTH ROYAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY SCHOOL OF INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT i Abstract With climate change threatening life, countries worldwide have united to limit the damages generated by humanity to the world. For a sustainable future, it will be essential to utilise energy in more efficient ways. Energy harvesting in the form of renewable resources and innovative solutions for industries are some answers to an improved tomorrow. The net-zero greenhouse emission target by 2045 in Sweden puts pressure on the energy-demanding sectors to find intelligent new ways to support their processes. For the railway industry, this results in digitalisation and new smart systems to optimise the railway operations to create an updated, more competitive and resource-efficient transport system in Sweden and Europe. This master thesis work is developed through a European research program to investigate the energy usage for wayside objects. In order to analyse these subjects, two primary objectives were decided. The first main objective was to distinguish and create an energy system in connection to the railway system, and also implement Smart Wayside Object Controllers, SWOCs. The second objective was to find such a system's potential, specifically for a case study in Sweden. To reach the objectives, the thesis work has been combining both a quantitative and qualitative research method. Data have been collected partly from a literature review and partly from gatherings by the cooperating companies, Alstom and Trafikverket.

  • Solar Prosumer Business Models in Sweden
    Solar Prosumer Business Models in Sweden Sam Molavi William Bydén May 2018 Bachelor of Science Thesis KTH School of Industrial Engineering and Management Energy Technology EGI-2018 TRITA-ITM-EX 2018:427 SE-100 44 STOCKHOLM Bachelor of Science Thesis EGI-2018 TRITA-ITM-EX 2018:427 Solar Prosumer Business Models in Sweden Sam Molavi William Bydén Approved Examiner Supervisor Björn Laumert Rafael Eduardo Guédez Mata Commissioner Contact person Abstract In this research, four of the most common business models for Swedish photovoltaic (PV) prosumers were analyzed through a business case study. The costs and revenues related to adopting these prosumer business models for a household were examined and their economic viability was measured using the Net Present Value- and Payback method. The markets of PV and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) in Sweden were researched in order to provide an overview of the potential for future prosumers in Sweden. Relevant actors and business models have been described and analyzed. Furthermore, Sweden’s energy structure as a whole and its potential transformation to a more decentralized and prosumer friendly system has been discussed. The business case study results show that the most economically beneficial business model for prosumers today in Sweden is through a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). The business model where the prosumer owns a PV system proved to be the second best option which also was calculated to be economically beneficial. Leasing a PV system or owning a combined PV- and BESS were proven to not be economically beneficial. Sammanfattning I den här rapporten har fyra av de vanligaste affärsmodellerna för Svenska solcells-prosumers analyserats genom en business case study.

The literature provides a wide range of conceptual ideas and analyses on the technical and economic framework of single market features such as peer-to-peer trading. The feasible, system-wide integration of energy communities into existing market structures requires, however, a set of legal adjustments to national regulation. In this paper, we test the implications of recently proposed market designs under the current rules in the context of the German market. The analysis is facilitated by a simplistic equilibrium model representing heterogeneous market participants in an energy community with their respective objectives. We find that, on the one hand, these proposed designs are financially unattractive to prosumers and consumers under the current regulatory framework. On the other hand, they even cause distributional effects within the community when local trade and self-consumption are exempt from taxes.

  • Blockchain in the Electricity Market: Identification and Analysis of Business Models
    Blockchain in the Electricity Market: Identification and Analysis of Business Models Alisa Orlov Supervisor: Professor Mette Helene Bjørndal, NHH Master thesis, MSc in Economics and Business Administration Major: Energy, Natural Resources and the Environment Norwegian School of Economics & HEC Paris Bergen / Jouy-en-Josas, Autumn 2017 This thesis was written as a part of the Double Degree programme between the Master of Science in Economics and Business Administration at NHH and the Master of Science in Sustainability and Social Innovation at HEC Paris. Please note that neither the institutions nor the examiners are responsible − through the approval of this thesis − for the theories and methods used, or results and conclusions drawn in this work. Abstract This paper aims to identify the business models used by blockchain-based initiatives and projects in the electricity market and identify how they affect it. This research examines the market trends within the electricity market as well as general socioeconomic and technological developments. This paper is based on a conceptual analysis of case studies that utilise blockchain technology in the electricity market and an empirical evaluation of considerations that have to be made when implementing a peer-to-peer energy-trading platform. For the conceptual analysis, a four-dimensional business model framework has been defined. To specify the dimensions of the business model, categories and characteristics have been identified that have been determined to be characteristic to the 22 analysed case studies. Seven business model archetypes were subsequently derived from the initial four-dimensional review of the case studies. This paper adds value to both research and practice in three ways.
