met in Ljubljana, Slovenia
The joint annual meeting of the European Technology and Innovation Platform (ETIP) on Photovoltaics and the ETIP on Smartgrids was hailed by Jeroen Schuppers, deputy Head of Unit for Advanced Energy Production in DG Research and Innovation of the European Commission as “very timely and relevant [...] The event brings together two groups. Collaboration and cooperation is the main objective of the Energy Union.”
In September 2015 the European Commission presented a new Integrated Strategic Energy Technology (SET) Plan in order to accelerate the transformation of the European energy system.
As outlined in the current implementation plan of the Solar Europe Industry Initiative, the photovoltaic (PV) industry is committed to improving the long-term performance of connected plants. This requires important efforts along the whole value chain, from material and hardware production to operation and maintenance.
The Workshop “Reaching out for opportunities in Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV)” was successfully held yesterday in the CCH Congress Centre Hamburg as an official parallel event of the 31 st European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition (EU PVSEC 2015).
