Welcome to the 40th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition. The innovation platform for the global PV solar sector.

The EU PVSEC is the largest international Conference for Photovoltaic research, technologies and applications and at the same time a PV Industry Exhibition, where specialized PV Industry presents technologies, innovations and new concepts in the upstream PV sector. It gathers the global PV community to present and discuss the latest developments in Photovoltaics, to network and to conduct business. It is the world-renowned science-to-science and science-to-industry platform uniquely focused on the global PV Solar sector. The conference scientific programme is coordinated by the European Commission Joint Research Centre.

The over 40 year long history and the diverse programme of the EU PVSEC makes it a landmark event in the scientific PV sector.

For 2023, we are more than delighted to welcome you in person and to invite you to celebrate with us the 40th anniversary of the European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition from 18 – 22 SEPTEMBER 2023 IN THE BEAUTIFUL CITY OF LISBON.

"We need to go much faster in terms of not only deploying solar but also having a sizeable European industry."

― Walburga Hemetsberger

"Our goal for 2030 should be having at least 6 Terawatt installed and for this we have to make sure we have the resources to implement this PV production."

― Ulrike Jahn

"I think we will get to the next Terawatt in three years and in reaching that projection, polysilicon supply will be the most important supply issue."

― Martin Green

See full interview
"To make Terawatt happen, we need specifically for Europe financing to support manufacturing and speed is essential. We need to build and hurry."

― Andreas Bett
