The EU PVSEC 2015 Conference Programme will include main topics such as New Materials and Concepts for Solar Cells and Modules, Wafer-Based Silicon Solar Cells and Materials Technology and Thin Film Solar Cells and Modules. PV Applications like Solar Cells / Assemblies / Modules for Terrestrial Concentrator Systems and for Space Solar Generators and an overview of Operations, Performance and Reliability of Photovoltaics (from Cells to Systems) are additional topics which will be discussed during the conference week.
Dr.-Ing. Stefan Rinck, Conference General Chairman of the EU PVSEC 2015, states: ”In Europe the good news is that we've now already passed the 88 GW that the Member States originally committed to reach by 2020. So the question is how much more can we bring into the system, looking not just at 2020 but 2030 and beyond. R&D has a big role to play in this and we expect during the EU PVSEC 2015 many presentations addressing the science and technology developments are needed to further increase competiveness.” According to Energy Trend’s gold member data research, global PV installations will reach 52 GW in 2015, of which China, Japan and the US account for 63%. Based on Energy Trend’s statistics, global PV installations surpassed 12GW in the first quarter of 2015 and the full-year goal can be achieved.

EU PVSEC Background
EU PVSEC –at different venues in Europe since 1977. As the world’s leading R&D conference, it serves as the international meeting point for PV experts from research, development and from industry, with presentations dedicated to photovoltaics of the future, addressing the latest technologies and most innovative materials, the policy framework, and the medium and long-term strategies and potentials. EU PVSEC is the interface between science, industry and policy makers.
The EU PVSEC is supported by European and International Organisations such as UNESCO - United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation, Natural Sciences Sector, WCRE - World Council for Renewable Energy, Solar Power Europe (formerly EPIA), SOLAR UNITED - Global Solar Business and Technology Association, ESA - European Space Agency, EREF - European Renewable Energies Federation, EUFORES - The European Forum for Renewable Energy Sources, REN21 - Renewable Energy Policy Network for the 21st Century, IEA-PVPS - International Energy Agency - Photovoltaic Power Systems Programme, EU PV TP - European Photovoltaic Technology Platform, EUREC - The Association of European Renewable Energy Research Centres, ARE - Alliance for Rural Electrification, AIE - European Association of Electrical Contractors, CABA - Continental Automated Buildings Association, EPIC - European Photonics Industry Consortium, SASIA - Saudi Arabia Solar Industries Association.
The Conference Programme is coordinated by the European Commission, DG Joint Research Centre.
