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.

    EU PVSEC Panel Discussion Series

    Once 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.

    Updated Programme for Parallel Events and Industry Summit

    In addition to the varied and impressive Conference Programme, the EU PVSEC offers a wide range of Parallel Events and Industry sessions on a wide variety of topics in the field of photovoltaics.

    We regularly update the information on all events, so you will find new details and descriptions on the website.
