S4 – LIFE EXTENSION VS REPPOWERING
17 Nov - From 10:00 to 11:50
When does a solar plant stop being worth patching and start needing reinvestment?
As utility-scale solar fleets age, owners face a growing question: keep patching ageing assets or commit to larger reinvestment? The right answer depends on degradation, component obsolescence, market conditions and remaining asset life. Join fellow solar asset owners to compare how they decide when repair no longer makes sense.
