EnergyMetric and its solar applications | The IEA

Solar Media Events will host the 9th edition of Solar Finance and Investment Europe in London on 8-9 March 2022. As the global energy transition gathers momentum, solar is a key driving technology. The event will bring together Europe's leading investors and lenders with the region's top solar developers with a focus on business and growth. EnergyMetric is proud to participate and we look forward to sharing how EnergyMetric can de-risk strategic planning for solar projects around the world.
