Every year, the EU PVSEC brings together researchers, innovators, and changemakers who are shaping the future of solar energy in Europe and beyond. It’s not just a conference, it’s a meeting point for ideas, inspiration, and collaboration.

With only one week left to benefit from the Early Bird discount, now is the perfect time to make sure you are part of this year’s journey in Bilbao. From scientific breakthroughs to hands-on solutions for deployment and manufacturing, the EU PVSEC 2025 will once again be a space where the PV community comes together to learn, share, and shape what comes next.

If you haven’t already, take a moment to browse the conference programme and start building your personal agenda with the programme planner.

Whether you are a regular attendee or considering your first visit, the Early Bird offer is a great opportunity to plan ahead and join the discussion at a reduced rate.

Register by 30 June to benefit from the Early Bird discount!

We hope to see you there.

The Parallel Events and Industry Summit have become a much-anticipated part of the EU PVSEC experience. These sessions offer a space to zoom in on specific challenges, trends, and opportunities shaping the future of photovoltaics, from different angles and disciplines.

This year’s programme is now online, and it’s as rich and diverse as ever. From end-of-life management and second-life PV to floating PV systems, grid congestion, perovskite innovation, and EU solar manufacturing, the Parallel Events bring timely topics to the table, sparking focused dialogue between research, policy, and practice.

Meanwhile, the Industry Summit will dive into what’s next for the PV sector from a business and market perspective, featuring high-level voices on system reliability, financing, industrial strategy, and PV's role across energy, mobility, and telecoms.

If you are looking to connect the dots between science, technology, and industry strategy, these sessions are not to be missed.

As Europe accelerates towards a climate-neutral future, the need for flexible, resilient energy systems has never been clearer. Photovoltaics and energy storage are at the heart of this transformation, and when combined, they unlock powerful new possibilities.

On 25 June 2025, the EU PVSEC and the European Association for Storage of Energy (EASE) are teaming up for a joint webinar that dives into this crucial synergy. The session will explore how cutting-edge PV and storage solutions, such as grid-forming inverters, are shaping the grid of tomorrow.

Expect focused presentations, expert insights from both sectors, and a dynamic panel discussion that brings research, market trends, and technical solutions into one compelling conversation.

Confirmed speakers are: 

If you're curious about how innovation across sectors can drive Europe's clean energy transition, this is your chance to find out more.

Join us online from 15:30 to 16:45 CEST.

After exploring PV fundamentals in the first session, the PV Academy now shifts focus to what happens over time: how and why modules degrade.

In Degradation and Reliability of PV Modules, Dr David Moser (Becquerel Institute) and Dr Teresa Barnes (NREL) guide participants through the physical processes behind common failure modes, from light-induced degradation to corrosion and solder fatigue, and explain how these are influenced by materials, design choices, and environmental stressors.

The session also covers key testing and detection methods, including advanced imaging techniques and reliability modelling, linking technical insights to real-world system performance and economic impact.

Whether you are in research, industry, or operations, this session offers a clear and practical foundation for understanding the long-term behaviour of PV technologies.
