INDUSTRY SUMMIT PROGRAMME 2026


In addition to the scientific conference, the Industry Summit enhances the programme by bringing together a series of sessions relevant to the industry. It covers company presentations, roundtable discussions and presentations on the latest developments in the industrial sector.

Pre-EU PVSEC Webinar

"The Masterplan for 100% Renewable Energy"


About the Webinar

This event was organized by EU PVSEC and served as an exclusive preview of one of the upcoming discussions at the EU PVSEC 2026 Industry Summit, bringing together leading experts to explore what it will take to achieve a world powered entirely by renewable energy.

This Industry Summit session will spotlight the three essential puzzle pieces necessary to unlock the goal of achieving 100% renewable energy: Production, Bankability, and the role of AI in R&D and grid balancing.

As we navigate through the challenges of transitioning to a sustainable energy future, our expert panelists are convinced that a fully renewable energy world is not just feasible, but imperative. Dr. Radovan Kopecek, Co-founder & Director of ISC Konstanz, articulated the profound implications of such a shift, addressing the environmental, economic, and social transformations that would follow. In tandem, Prof. Dr. Peter Fath, CEO of RCT Solutions, provided insights from the machine builders’ perspective, emphasizing the innovative technologies and infrastructure required to support this monumental transition.

Speaker

Dr. Radovan Kopecek obtained the Dipl. Phys. degree at the University of Stuttgart in 1998 in the field of Superconductive Fullerides. In 2002 he completed his Ph.D. dissertation in the field of c-Si thin film silicon solar cells in Prof. Ernst Bucher´s group at the University of Konstanz. One of the founders of ISC Konstanz, Dr. Kopecek is since 2007 the leader of the Advanced Solar Cells Department dealing with several European, national research projects and technology transfer in the field of silicon feedstock and solar cell development, focusing on n-type devices. Further, Dr. Kopecek has been teaching the basics of PV at the DHBW in Friedrichshafen since 2012. Since 2016 he is in the board of directors at EUREC.
