SOLARX Final Workshop Presentations

The SOLARX Final Workshop was held on Thursday, 25 September 2025, from 14:00 – 16:00 (CET) in Almeria, Spain, during the International SolarPACES Conference. The event focused on the final results and the relevance of the project as well as its importance in the development and implementation of commercial solutions. Seven project partners had the opportunity to demonstrate SOLARX as a game-changing renewable energy system in the framework of a future implementation in a carbon-negative energy system.

With an excellent turnout of more than 50 active participants, this workshop greatly reached its initial target of engaging 30 stakeholders. It proved to be a dynamic and engaging session, characterised by numerous questions from a diverse audience. The event served as an excellent platform to raise awareness about the project results and promoted interaction between potential new collaborations, all while gathering valuable insights towards the research progress. The hybrid format offered more people than anticipated to join (both speakers and attendees).
