Annual Conference 2025 (PRESENTATIONS AVAILABLE)
Celebrating its 20th anniversary, the ETIP PV conference aims to provide a platform for key stakeholders across the solar PV value chain to address the urgent need for innovative solutions to achieve the EU's ambitious 2030 targets: 720 GWdc of PV deployment and 30 GW of PV manufacturing capacity across the entire value chain.
Under the theme, “The urgency of now: Innovation in making deployment and production targets a reality for solar PV”, the event will focus on exploring strategies, technologies, policies, and collaborations necessary to bridge the gap between ambitions and realities, aligning with the Vision for Europe's sustainable energy future.
