How the Convergence of Energy, Data Analytics, and the IoT will Change the Solar Market 

The convergence of sensors, data analytics, and communications is driving a wave of innovation and collaboration to develop common processes, procedures, and platforms. Explosive demand for cloud computing, the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) and radical digital innovation is accelerating the pace of change.

This session will feature industry leaders discussing the challenges and opportunities for the solar community and answering questions such as:

  • How do we unlock the value of big data and machine learning techniques within the solar context?
  • What is solar’s role in the future smart grid/smart city ecosystem and can more be done to insert solar into more aspects of this process?
  • How can the solar industry better manage or participate in this complex and evolving process?
  • Can the solar industry rally around a digital strategy that improves its own system cost and efficiency while simultaneously embedding itself into the fabric of the broader IoT infrastructure?
