It’s uncertain times in solar and storage

How can we use smarter grid optimisation to give developers some assurance?

Over the past couple of years unprecedented low prices for solar panels have spurred incredible growth. But there’s a big shift underway.

In this special episode of the show, recorded live from the stage at Wood Mackenzie’s Solar & Energy Storage Summit 2025, host Sylvia Leyva Martinez, Principal Analyst at Wood Mackenzie, sits down with Ben Sigrin, Senior Product Manager at GridBeyond, to make sense of the turbulent market.

With nearly 44 gigawatts of new solar expected this year, developers are under pressure to make faster, smarter decisions. GridBeyond helps solar and storage players optimise in real time, turning market volatility into opportunity. How do they do it? Are there other ways for off takers to get some certainty? Smart site selection is one of them, but what informs those decisions? Plus, hear the lessons from global solar markets that developers are bringing to the US.  

This is just the beginning. More live insights from the summit are coming soon - follow the show to be notified when they drop.
