Industry PV white paper:
PV Manufacturing in Europe, ensuring Resilience through industrial policy

Collapse of the global prices of PV modules driven by massive overproduction accelerated ongoing trends and presented new major challenges for European manufacturers that are unable to compete with the low-priced modules arriving on the market. The white paper covers:

How the policy and regulatory framework has evolved for European companies in the PV sector
Resilience of the European PV value chain, notably on the long-term
Role of innovation in the growing wave of industrial policies in Europe

On this occasion, a pv Magazine webinar has been organized on 16 January, to present the white paper and open a panel discussion on the role of research and innovation in the reshoring of PV manufacturing in Europe.
The event has been a great success thanks to the speakers: Peter Fath and Bianca Lim (leaders of the ETIP PV Industry working group), Ralf Preu (Fraunhofer ISE) and Gianluca Coletti (Futurasun).
