#PVQualityMatters
The Quality and Sustainability of PV systems Conference organized by the European
Technology and Innovation Platform for Photovoltaics (ETIP PV) wil take place on 3
May 2018 at the BIP House (Rue Royale 2-4) in Brussels.
The PV sector has evolved extremely fast in the last decade and in 2016 crossed the
100 billion 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. Al stakeholders
involved in PV plant design and instal ation need to col aborate and engage for a
sustainable long-term selection of products and systems. A short-term approach to
building PV plants extremely fast could easily lead to poor quality.
The ETIP PV conference wil offer the opportunity to join the industry leaders as well as
top-ranking scientists, engineers and policy makers to discuss "Quality and sustainability
as an asset for European Industry".
Program Overview “QUALITY AND SUSTAINABILITY OF PV SYSTEMS”:
• SESSION 1: Quality in solar PV: what can we learn from other EU and Global
Initiatives?
• SESSION 2: Does quality have an impact on bankability?
• SESSION 3: Ecodesign, Ecolabeling and Green Procurement Policies – enabling
more Sustainable Photovoltaics?
• SESSION 4: Quality and reliability: experience from the field
• SESSION 5: R&D Panel discussion – Best practices towards quality
