Message from the Chairman


Dear Colleagues,
 
As I have mentioned, one of my goals as Chairman of the ETIP PV is to expand our reach enough to help strengthen Photovoltaic European Technology and Innovation around the world.
 
For that reason, I am pleased to congratulate our colleagues and friends on the successful 26th edition of the PVSEC that was recently held in Singapore.  We look forward to our continued knowledge exchange with a view to improving the competitiveness of the European PV industry.

I would also like to take this opportunity to wish you Happy Holidays and a Prosperous New Year!
 
Sincerely,
Marko Topič
Chairman of European Technology & Innovation Platform Photovoltaics

ETIP PV applauds the Climate Change Accord in Marrakesh

 
ETIP PV was pleased to see the progress in regards to the Paris agreement at COP-22.  The Marrakesh climate talks affirmed the world’s strong commitment to international climate action and the potential role that renewables play to hold global warming to no more than 2C above pre-industrial levels.
 
The European photovoltaic sector with its strong R & D capabilities and its strong cell & module production technology will play a major role in the coming years. The Secretariat of ETIP PV  believes that the COP 22 meeting in Marrakesh delivered results showing the next steps. ETIP PV as a trusted partner of the European Commission will provide targets and recommendations to support the further development and the realization of COP 21 Paris agreement.
