Investors at the European summit of large solar projects have shown a strong interest in zero-subsidy projects. However, some fear the government's actions could hinder progress.24v solar charge controller
Top officials from Portugal and the European Union attended the two-day conference in Lisbon. At the meeting, representatives from Blackrock, Aquila Capital, Foresight and other companies outlined their future actions on the continent. The continent is now promoting the marketization of large projects.

Presenting Portugal's solar policy at the conference was Joao Galamba, secretary of state for energy. In a keynote speech, Galamba said Portugal planned to develop about 7GW of new photovoltaic projects by 2030, compared with less than 1GW at present, which "clearly" poses technical, regulatory and political challenges, but above all, Portugal "welcomes and embraces" the opportunity. lithium solar controller
"The end of government subsidies is not the end of government intervention," Galamba told developers and investors. The Portuguese government will hold a biennial photovoltaic auction, with 1.35gw to be auctioned in 2019, and separate energy storage auctions. He noted that legislation would help remove barriers to self-use and microgrid development.
Just because investors were enthusiastic about the potential of Portugal's zero-subsidy program does not mean everyone is equally convinced by the government's plan. Next Energy's Ciciriello described the company's position as "wait and see".MPPT solar charge controller 12v
