Welcome to the 25th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition (25th EU PVSEC) / 5th World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion (WCPEC-5)

The 25th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference (6 - 10 September 2010) and Exhibition (6 - 9 September 2010) will be held at the Feria Valencia in Valencia, Spain.

Chairmen's Message

Dear Delegate,

It is our privilege and honour to invite you to participate in the 5th World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion, which will be held in Valencia, Spain. This World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion will bring together the three most important global scientific and strategic PV Conferences: the 25th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition, the 36th US IEEE Photovoltaic Specialists Conference and the 20th Asia/Pacific PV Science and Engineering Conference. This unique gathering will be the leading science-to-science, business-to-business and science-to-industry forum for the global PV solar energy sector.

Message from the Technical Programme Chairpersons

It gives us much pleasure to present you the Technical Programme for this 5th World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion, which will be held in Valencia, Spain.

Bringing together the PV community from all over the world, was a specific challenge for the Scientific Committee. All the members and we were committed to bring to you a truly world-wide insight in not only scientific results but also the wider perspective on policies seeking to establish photovoltaic solar energy as a robust share in the renewable electricity mix. As the EU member states are about to finalize their National Renewable Energy Action Plans, this edition of the Conference will be a key event to review the progress of photovoltaic solar energy, and the crucial role it is going to play when Europe wants to achieve its target of 20% energy supplied by renewable sources.

Message from the PV Industry

Dear Delegate,

This year’s 25th EU PVSEC in Valencia, which is also the 5th World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion (WCPEC-5) in cooperation with our US and Asian/Pacific colleagues, will be the highlight for the global industry and scientific community in this starting decade of 2010. This worldwide truly largest and unique B2B2S event (business to business to science) will bring together all actors working towards our common goal to power the increasing energy needs of a still growing number of global citizens most efficiently and very soon at lowest cost for the different applications.
