PANEL DISCUSSIONS PROGRAMME
The EU PVSEC Panel Discussions bring together internationally recognised experts from industry, research, policymaking and the energy sector to discuss the most relevant developments shaping the future of photovoltaics. Through an interactive format that encourages dialogue and audience participation, these sessions provide strategic insights and diverse perspectives on today's key challenges and opportunities.
The 2026 Panel Discussions explore some of the most pressing questions facing the global PV sector, from grid congestion and the integration of ever-growing shares of solar power into modern energy systems, to the geographical diversification of PV manufacturing and resilient supply chains. They also examine the future of next-generation technologies such as perovskites, as well as the expected role of floating photovoltaics in the upcoming years.
