Becquerel Prize Winner – Gunter Erfurt
Gunter Erfurt is the winner of the 2023 Alexander Edmond Becquerel Prize.
"Dr.
Gunter Erfurt receives the award for his engagement in re-establishing
advanced manufacturing of silicon solar cells and modules in Europe,
with his company Meyer Burger. Gunter Erfurt has lead the transformation
of the company from an equipment supplier to a main European producer
of solar cells and modules, ramping up highly automatized proprietary
manufacturing solutions for silicon heterojunction technology with
smart-wire contacting, all this under the constraint of the COVID
crisis. He has been a tireless advocate for a renaissance of PV
production in Europe, giving numerous talks in conferences, taking part
in debates, and contributing in the media. He also regularly represented
the industry in many meetings with the institutions in Europe where he
became truly the “face” and "voice" for more local manufacturing.
Through his actions, positions, and leadership, Dr. Erfurt is an
outstanding individual in the community.
The awardee received his…"

|  EU PVSEC Panel Discussion SeriesOnce
again, a number of panel discussions will take place during EU PVSEC.
They provide a platform for industry leaders, researchers and policy
makers to discuss important issues shaping the future of solar energy.
"Unlocking the PV Potential"
focuses on exploring technical innovations, industry developments,
financing schemes and social acceptance to promote the integration and
deployment of photovoltaic systems.
"PV Manufacturing Ecosystem in Europe" looks at strategies to strengthen solar manufacturing capacity, especially the investment and policy framework needed.
The discussion on "Securing a Diverse and Resilient Supply Chain"
addresses methods to increase raw materials production rapidly and
explores the characteristics of a robust European supply chain.
These insightful discussions will reaffirm the commitment to a clean
energy transition and underline the importance of collaboration and
innovation for a thriving solar future in Europe.  |

  | The European Solar PV Industry Alliance (ESIA)
comprises organizations active in solar PV within the European Economic
Area in private and public sectors. The ESIA goal is to accelerate
solar PV deployment in the EU by scaling-up to 30 GW of annual solar PV
manufacturing capacity in Europe by 2025, facilitating investment,
de-risking sector acceleration, and supporting Europe’s decarbonisation
targets.
