More than a conference, the European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition (EU PVSEC) stands as a platform where knowledge, ideas and partnerships drive advancement across the photovoltaic value chain.
Dynamic start to the programme
The event opens with a dynamic programme that sets the agenda for the week. Plenary presentations will examine the ubiquity of photovoltaics in both the grid and emerging applications, followed by the awarding of the Alexander Edmond Becquerel Prize to Walburga Hemetsberger for her significant contribution to Europe’s solar sector. Keynotes will assess how global shifts are reshaping the PV industry, while a high‑level panel on “Solar in Turbulent Times: Global Dynamics and the Way Forward” will bring together perspectives from Europe, Asia and the United States.

Scientific highlights
This year’s scientific programme spans a broad range of innovation across the photovoltaic value chain. From record efficiencies in silicon cells and the rise of perovskite tandems to advances in grid integration and sustainability, the latest research underscores how technology is progressing at every level.
Sessions will highlight system‑level solutions including forecasting, maintenance, Agri‑PV and applications ranging from buildings to mobility. Discussions on reliability, bankability, scalability, manufacturing, grid flexibility and socio‑economic impacts demonstrate the pivotal role of photovoltaics in the global energy transition. With more than 1,100 scientific presentations, the programme offers a rare opportunity to examine the innovations driving the future of solar.

Connecting science, industry and innovation
Alongside the scientific programme, 17 parallel events organised by partner institutions will address specialised topics at the intersection of research, innovation and policy. The Industry Forum offers dedicated sessions on PV production in Europe, global market dynamics, grid integration and key technologies. In parallel, the international exhibition serves as a B2B hub where leading companies present their latest solutions, facilitating networking and collaboration between research and industry at the forefront of photovoltaic development.
