What does it take to secure affordable, clean energy and water for rural people in low-and medium income countries?
For sure, it is a combination of concerted political effort and technological progress.
As part of the Intersolar Europe Conference 2025, speakers will shed light on experiences, innovations and future perspectives of off-grid system in four dedicated off-grid sessions.
In 2025, topics like digitalization and solar home systems will be part of the program. One additional session will focus on storage systems and sector coupling.
Renowned key note speakers from international organizations will be providing insights into electrification, off-grid systems and decentralized renewable energies.
For participants only interested in these sessions, a separate Off-Grid Conference ticket is available.
