Solar Balance of System Explained

While modules often take centre stage, balance of system (BOS) components, from inverters, mounting systems and cabling to transformers, substations, monitoring platforms and energy management software, are what enable solar power to be generated, controlled and delivered reliably to the grid. Drawing on the expertise of SolarPower Europe’s members, the report explores the technologies, supply chains, market dynamics and manufacturing landscape shaping the European BOS sector.

As Europe’s solar market enters a new phase characterised by storage integration, digitalisation, electrification and rising flexibility requirements, BOS technologies are becoming an increasingly important source of innovation and value creation. The webinar will feature a presentation of the report’s key findings, followed by an overview of SolarPower Europe’s policy recommendations for strengthening the European BOS industry. EU industry representatives will then discuss the findings, supply chain developments and evolving market dynamics during a panel discussion.
