Press release - ETIP PV & SOLARUNITED to distribute a New White Paper on PV Quality - 15 September 2017

ETIP PV & SOLARUNITED to distribute a New White Paper on PV 
Quality at the 33rd EU PVSEC  2017 in Amsterdam 
“SUPPORTING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE EUROPEAN PV INDUSTRY AND 
MARKETS THROUGH ENHANCED QUALITY”  
 
SOLARUNITED  –  The  global  Solar  Business  Technology  Association  as  a  partner  of  the 
European Technology and Innovation Platform for Photovoltaics (ETIP PV) and a member 
of  ETIP  PV  Secretariat  has  prepared  a  white  paper  regarding  the  questions of  quality, 
reliability and performance for the European PV Industry. 
 
The PV sector has evolved extremely fast in the last decade and in 2016 crossed the 100 
bil ion EUR turnover threshold. In a context of this fast market development, components 
are improving constantly, while operators are implementing more efficient processes and 
PV system prices are dropping dramatical y. 
 
Considering such a dynamic context, the question of the quality of the PV installations 
becomes central now that the industry faces reduced margins and global competition. 
The only way to achieve a sustainable development of PV technology in this environment 
must be to focus on quality products and procedures. 
 
By  focussing  on  quality  at  all  levels  the  position  of  the  European  PV  industry  wil   be 
strengthened, resulting in new jobs and a long-term sustainable future for al  interested 
parties. 
 
The  white  paper  wil   be  presented  at  the  33rd  European  Photovoltaic  Solar  Energy 
Conference and Exhibition that wil  be taking place in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, from 25 September to 29 September 2017. The white paper is also available for download at 
www.etip-pv.eu/publications/etip-pv-reports.html. 
 
SOLARUNITED and ETIP PV have started a new Working group on “PV Quality Assurance 
and Reliability”.
