SOLAR FINANCE AND INVESTMENT EUROPE INSIGHTS FROM LSP RENEWABLES!

 

Exploring the Future of Solar Investment

The Solar Finance & Investment Europe Conference is a leading event in the renewable energy sector, bringing together key industry players to explore investment opportunities, discuss financial strategies, and share insights on the future of solar power across Europe. As the demand for clean energy solutions continues to rise and Europe strengthens its commitment to achieving net-zero emissions, this conference serves as a vital platform for collaboration, innovation, and forward-thinking solutions in the solar energy space.

Key Themes & Discussions

In 2025, the conference featured insightful panels and workshops covering various aspects of the solar market. With the European Union’s ambitious climate goals at the forefront, stakeholders explored innovative financing strategies and scaling solar energy deployment across the continent.
Each year, the event features a diverse lineup of speakers covering themes outlined by the organisers, Solar Media. These discussions span topics such as "Finance and Investment Landscapes" and "Power Price and PPAs," offering in-depth analysis of the most pressing issues in the industry.

Key Takeaways from This Year’s Event

Growth in Energy Transition Financing

  • 40% year-on-year growth in financing for the energy transition, showcasing strong capital flow into renewables despite broader economic uncertainties.
  • Global renewable investments reached a record $2.1 trillion in 2024.

Credit Strength in Solar

  • Solar remains a low-risk investment from a credit perspective, making it an attractive asset class for lenders.
  • Predictable solar energy generation enhances its appeal, especially when paired with energy storage solutions.

RTB Values & Revenue Stability

  • Discussions highlighted RTB (ready-to-build) values and how stable revenue streams impact investor confidence.

Wind vs. Solar Investment Dynamics

  • Wind energy presents an attractive generation curve, making it particularly appealing in long-term PPA structures.

E-Mobility & Solar Integration

  • The rise of e-mobility is driving conversations on how solar and energy storage can support the sector.

Challenges in Fundraising & European Solar Outlook

  • Fundraising for renewables has slowed, reflecting a more cautious investor climate.
  • European solar investments face increasing competition from other global markets, leading some investors to shift focus.

The conference reinforced that while solar energy remains a key player in the transition to renewables, several external factors significantly influence investment strategies.

The Role of Policy & Global Targets

Government policies and international agreements continue to shape renewable energy investments. Factors such as political stability, regulatory frameworks, and government incentives (e.g., subsidies and tax breaks) play a crucial role in driving investor confidence and ensuring project viability.
Additionally, global renewable energy targets set by organisations like the United Nations and the European Union continue to influence investors and developers alike. These targets serve as guiding principles to accelerate the transition to clean energy, but they also increase competition and shift investment priorities within the sector.

LSP’s Head of Solar, Scott Thomson, attended the event alongside Head of Green Investments, Marcus Richards, and Principal Consultant, Paige Brooks.

Scott says ‘The Solar Finance & Investment conference was great event, the speaker lineup did not disappoint. We heard from professionals from across the whole value chain, including funds, banks, IPPs, developers, EPCs and manufacturers on topics such as allocating capital, early financing, merchant financing, power prices in European markets (including cannibalisation and curtailment), maximising returns, and an interesting case study on “Developer to Independent Power Producer). There was also an interesting discussion on the role of an Asset Manager and how that has evolved. Outside of the panel discussions and case studies, the networking area was buzzing; this is arguably the best event I attend where people genuinely want to network, discuss ideas, collaborate, and get deals done. Lastly, it was great catching up with some old contacts and meet new people in the industry. I think it’s safe to say this event will be one of the first on LSPs calendar every year.’

While the solar industry remains a cornerstone of the global energy transition, market pressures and evolving policy landscapes are reshaping how investments are made. The need for flexibility, innovation, and adaptability is more critical than ever, as stakeholders seek ways to meet energy demands while future-proofing investments in an ever-changing landscape.
