Legal considerations for solar as a service (I)
The upcoming series of five articles by Emilie Verbeure will examine which legal problems can arise within the product-service system specifically applied in the photovoltaic sector. The combination of this business model in the photovoltaic sector is referred to as Solar as a Service (SaaS). In this business model, the service provider remains the owner of the PV installation that is installed on the roof of the user. The user pays for the function of the system, i.e. the generated solar energy.
Redesign of solar power products and solutions
Current PV and battery systems are still conceived from a linear perspective, neglecting a possible second use for other applications and creating waste. In order to increase or maintain the value of existing and new power solutions, the solutions provided by CIRCUSOL need to be conceived, installed and operated with a circular model in mind.
