"I am honoured to chair the 38th European Photovoltaic
Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition that is planned
to be held on September 6 to 10, 2021 in Lisbon,
Portugal.
The EU Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and
Exhibition is a world reference point regarding the
latest developments related to PV and for up-to-date
insights regarding new opportunities. PV is a major
contributor to a cleaner and safer future for the
planet. The latest updates on PV science, technology,
systems, finance, policies, and markets are all covered
by EU PVSEC 2021.
Let me give you a few more of the very good reasons to
attend the EUPSEC 2021:
|
- Different material technologies combine to establish new
cell efficiency records. The learning curves of photovoltaics
keep dropping at impressive rates. In August 2020, 670
megawatts (MW) were awarded at the Portugal solar auction, in
13 power plants, of which 8 have associated batteries (100 MW
in total). No public subsidies were involved. Furthermore a
new world record of €11.14 per MWh, in the fixed price mode,
for a 10 MW power plant (without batteries) was established
- Lowest LCOE record is reported by IEA for PV, making it
the cheapest energy source
- Increase in installed capacity despite Covid-19 and
blooming new applications such as floating PV, Agro-PV, are
taking PV really everywhere
We all know that a great conference is much more than just a
very good location and its facilities. It is also about
meeting colleagues and old friends, having live discussions
about new results and new ideas. Meeting new people,
expanding your network of contacts and broadening your vision
is a key aspect of the EU PVSEC. In 2021, being together has
a special meaning and I am sure we all feel that even more.
Have a look to an impressive programme that offers each of
you a variety of interesting topics which you will not want
to miss.
Portugal is a reference for renewables and well known for its
huge ocean waves. You will agree that in these exciting times
PV is surfing the green wave into a bright future.
I am looking forward to seeing you all at the EU PVSEC 2021!"
