Photovoltaic generation is essential to face global energy challenges and promote a transition to a sustainable future. However, as technological transformations and economic progress occur, rivalry in the photovoltaic industry intensifies. Given the different competition scenarios observed throughout the photovoltaic value chain, a deeper analysis of inter-organizational relationships is necessary to develop market strategies to increase the number of decentralized photovoltaic systems. Therefore, this article explores the dynamics of inter-organizational relationships in the Brazilian photovoltaic value chain and how they can impact the development and competitiveness of the sector. Based on literature analysis and expert interviews, drivers and barriers to establishing collaborative and synergistic relationships to expand the photovoltaic market are discussed. The results highlight the complexity of inter-organizational relationships, which manifest themselves especially as strategic partnerships, technical relationships, and commercial relationships. Relationships emerge as crucial elements to guarantee the quality of products and services, operational efficiency, competitive deadlines, and fair prices. The barriers are fierce competition, dependence on imported inputs, lack of loyalty, and logistics network deficiencies. The findings showed that involvement and synergy between different stakeholders help develop dynamic capabilities and drive mechanisms to implement resources and relationships critical to creating value and competitive advantage. Additionally, the insights can guide the formulation of actions and strategies to promote the advancement of core technologies in emerging countries’ PV industry.

Manufacturing systems’ efficiency depends on the proper assignment of orders to resources. Due to existing interdependencies, the integrated consideration of production, inventory and delivery processes can improve the overall manufacturing performance. However, the integration can result in high complexity and stochasticity. Thus, the three areas are rarely addressed together. Thereof, this paper proposes an integrated simulation-based optimization method to cope with uncertainty and complexity. The proposed approach was compared to a benchmark approach and the obtained results show that the first is able to handle the complexity and stochasticity of real-world manufacturing systems, surpassing the performance of the latter.

Renewable energy technologies integration within industrial districts can boost carbon emissions reduction in the industry sector. The eco-industrial parks model promotes the sustainable use of energy and the application of energy synergies and energy exchanges that can include renewable sources of energy. This paper presents an optimization methodology based on a multi-stakeholder perspective to evaluate energy symbiosis including the integration of renewable energy sources within the parks. The study results in three scenarios providing to managers of single firms and parks relevant information for supporting decision making regarding the economic sustainability and the environmental impacts of the energy synergies. The results show that the optimization of the collective point of view ensures more efficient management of the energy supplied by renewables as well as by firms that can provide an energy surplus.
