ETIP Photovoltaics

Sustainable, Reliable and Social Photovoltaics

The working group is committed to integrating ESG principles into the PV sector while ensuring system-level reliability and quality. It aims to promote a sustainable, ethical, and transparent approach across the value chain. The scope includes Lifecycle Assessment (LCA), environmental responsibility, social equity, and overall PV system quality and reliability. While module-level reliability is addressed in other working groups, this group will focus on broader system reliability aspects, advocating for a holistic quality approach in photovoltaic deployment.
