— CONSULTING —

Our experts offer support to your decision-making process and strategic evaluations, spanning from economics to technologies, market and policies.

What we advise on

Six areas, one evidence base

Every mission draws on the same underlying market intelligence, policy monitoring and technical expertise — applied to the specific question in front of us.

4- Manufacturing & supply chain economics

Cell, module and component cost structures, localisation strategy, and exposure to trade and resilience criteria.

5- Emerging applications

Agri-PV, BIPV, tandem and perovskite technologies, and PV recycling — assessed for where the economics turn from promising to real.

6- Programme & due diligence support

Technical and market inputs for EU-funded programmes, development banks and investors evaluating solar and storage opportunities.

1- Market intelligence & forecasting

Demand, pricing and capacity outlooks for PV, storage and hybrid systems, built on primary data rather than syndicated assumptions.

2- Policy & regulatory strategy

Reading NZIA, ESPR, CRMA and CBAM — and national auction and support schemes — for what they actually change for your business case.

3- Techno-economic assessment

LCOE, CAPEX/OPEX and bankability analysis for projects, technologies and manufacturing lines, stress-tested against real deployment data.

Who we work with

Every actor with a stake in how solar scales

Becquerel Institute advises developers, investors, manufacturers and public authorities on the decisions that don't have a market report already written for them — drawing on nearly two decades of solar PV and storage data, policy tracking, and fieldwork across four continents.

What we offer

Market entry due diligence, techno-economic and LCOE modelling calibrated to local cost and policy conditions, and tracking of auction results and remuneration schemes across Europe — so investment decisions are built on current data rather than assumptions carried over from the last market you worked in.

Your questions

Which markets offer the best risk-adjusted returns for new PV and storage projects right now?
How do our LCOE assumptions compare to what's actually being achieved on comparable projects?
What regulatory changes (NZIA, permitting reform, grid rules) could affect a project already in our pipeline?

What we offer

Competitive benchmarking on cost and manufacturing capacity, technology roadmap tracking across cell and module architectures, and analysis of how EU industrial policy is reshaping market access for incumbents and new entrants alike.

Your questions

Where is demand growing, and for which technology (TOPCon, HJT, bifacial, tandem)?
How does our cost structure compare to competitors in the same segment?
Which upcoming regulations (CBAM, ESPR, NZIA resilience criteria, Forced Labour Regulation) will affect our market access?

How we work

Four principles behind every mission

"We're not selling a technology or a scheme. We're answerable only to the evidence, whichever way it points." Becquerel Institute, on independence.

A Team of Experts

Behind every edition is a team of senior specialists with 15+ years of hands-on solar PV consulting experience, covering every segment of the value chain from EU policy to module pricing. They're independent — no commercial ties to manufacturers or developers — and operate across all major European markets. You get a professional judgment, not an algorithm.

Reliable and Verified Data

Every data point is cross-validated by a senior analyst against multiple independent sources. The data comes from direct contacts across the PV supply chain and proprietary market tracking — not scraped feeds or secondary aggregators. Continuous monitoring means you never miss a critical development.

Adaptability

No template, no fixed scope, no predefined deliverable format. Whether the need is a strategic report, an interactive dashboard, a workshop, or an ongoing advisory retainer, the format follows the question.

Scoped to the question

Missions range from a single expert call to a multi-month programme — sized to what the decision actually requires.

Have a question only a specialist can answer?

Tell us what you're deciding, and we'll tell you whether a short call, a scoped study, or an ongoing engagement fits best.
