The 28th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition
The EU PVSEC is the largest international conference for photovoltaic research, technologies and applications and, at the same time, one of the top international PV industry exhibitions. It gathers the global PV community to conduct business, to network and to present and discuss the latest developments and innovations in photovoltaics. It is the world renowned science-to-science, business-to-business and science-to-industry platform with a full and only focus on the global PV solar sector.
Photovoltaic solar energy is becoming a major electricity source in today’s world and so this year the EU PVSEC extends its focus to application- and policy-oriented topics.
Total global photovoltaic capacity is fast approaching 100 GW according to the International Energy Agency and it has the potential to increase 2.5 fold within the next 5 years. “These findings show that PV is on the right track to become a major electricity source in the coming years. The fact that in some countries the share of PV has now reached up to 30% of electricity generation at certain hours, not only shows the huge potential, but also underlines the urgency to provide cost effective solutions to integrate this PV electricity into the grid and to increase its dispatchability. The 28th EU PVSEC Conference programme tackles these challenges with an added focus on reliability issues on module and system level, as well as aspects of grid integration and dispatchable electricity from PV systems” said Dr. Arnulf Jäger-Waldau, European Commission, DG JRC, and EU PVSEC Technical Programme Chairman.
The 28th EU PVSEC PV Industry Exhibition, running parallel to the conference, will attract photovoltaic companies and solar organizations from along the entire value chain for over three days. The exhibition is an excellent showcase for the PV solar sector’s technology and service providers.
What can journalists expect?
The EU PVSEC always has something new and innovative to offer the journalists who attend the event. Issues on research, manufacturing, finance, global policy-making trends are among the topics from which information can be gathered. Visual presentations, oral sessions, parallel events, a remarkable industry exhibition and numerous social gatherings await you in this annual meeting point for the international PV solar community.
In addition to the Press Conference, scheduled for Monday 30 September at 12.45 a tailored press programme will be organised for your benefit and a dedicated press-only media center will be at your disposal throughout the entire event.
Background EU PVSEC
For many years the European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition (EU PVSEC) has combined a renowned international scientific conference with a leading PV industry exhibition and trade fair. During 5 conference and 3 trade fair days, new products and technical innovations from all areas of photovoltaics and from all over the world are on show.
The EU PVSEC is supported by European and international organisations such as the European Commission, UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation, Natural Sciences Sector), WCRE (World Council for Renewable Energy), ESA (European Space Agency), OME (Observatoire Méditerranéen de l’Energie), REN21 (Renewable Energy Policy Network for the 21st Century), EU PV TP (European Photovoltaic Technology Platform), ARE (Alliance for Rural Electrification), EPIA (the European Photovoltaic Industry Association), IPVEA (the International Photovoltaic Equipment Association), SASIA (Saudi Arabia Solar Industries Association). The Conference Programme is coordinated by the European Commission, DG Joint Research Centre.
