Digitalization has already revolutionized utility-scale solar, and now AI is emerging as the next game-changer, enhancing efficiency, reducing costs, and optimizing performance across a solar power plant's entire lifecycle. From site selection and energy yield prediction to financial modeling during the development, design optimization and automation during construction, and predictive maintenance for O&M, AI and digital tools are transforming how solar power plants are planned, built, and operated. But with solar becoming a critical part of our energy infrastructure, concerns about cyberattacks are growing.

This session will provide:

• Overview of digital, IOT and AI tools across all phases of a solar plant's lifecycle
• Insight on the opportunities and limitations of today's digital and AI solutions in the solar industry
• Discussion on cybersecurity risks and mitigation strategies for solar power systems
