“Welcome to our last preview of the Plenary Session of the 2023 EUPVSEC in Lisbon.

On Friday, 22nd September, the Conference will conclude with its last plenary session 5EP.1, titled Enabling Multi Terawatt PV Deployment: Technical and Social Dimensions. This plenary reflects the contribution of Photovoltaic technology to the global energy supply, which is steadily rising together with Wind Energy towards a significant share of emission free electricity supply.

But before going in the details of the Friday presentations, we provide as an addendum the titles of two plenary presentations on Wednesday, 20th September, which haven’t been mentioned in the last preview.

One (CP.1.4) starts at 8:30 and is titled Raising the Limits to PV Penetration: Why We Need Battery Swapping for the Future Energy and Transport Systems. The University of Lisbon will present solutions to issues of a large PV rollout, and the time it takes for re-charging batteries.

The second one, CP.3.4 Opportunities for thin-film PV in the next decade in Europe will be at 10:30 and is presented by the largest producer of thin-film modules (First Solar). Will there be opportunities for materials beyond CdTe? We are all curious about the role the presenter will foresee for other thin-film technologies like Perovskites or organic materials.
Coming now back to the last plenary session of the conference, starting Friday at 10:30. For its first presentation we are looking forward to…”
