欧洲国际光伏太阳能工业展览会暨会议（EU PVSEC -European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition / WCPEC-8）是独特的光伏太阳能工业展览会及会议，该展从1977年开始，一年一届，在欧洲各地轮流举行。为期五天全球光伏产业的会议是世界最大的专业太阳能光伏研讨会议，为期三天的全球光伏产业的展会将吸引了来自世界各地的太阳能组织，会议时间为五天即展前一天与展后一天均有相关会议举行。该展览与会议同时运行，提供了一个在光伏太阳能领域所涉及的技术和服务供应商展示。欧洲PVSEC突出了研究，技术开发和生产工艺的进步，汇集了所有关键的行业专家，使其成为全球光伏太阳能行业最丰富的平台。
该展览包括光伏模块及组件，生产设备制造商，供应业，光伏系统公司和分销商，安装公司光伏，光伏项目开发公司，研究和测试机构和工程顾问公司国际制造商。展会现场的协同交流理念：商家对商家，商家对技术，技术对工业。（Business-to-Business,Business-to-Science and Science-to-Industry）
EU PVSEC是最大的国际光伏研究、技术和应用会议暨展览，它聚集了全球光伏界，介绍和讨论光伏的最新发展和创新，以及光伏业的网络和业务开展，它是全球知名的科学与技术和科学与工业互动的平台，全面关注全球光伏太阳能部门的专业人士参与。
太阳能被认为是可持续能源未来的关键技术，在一些发达国家及发展中国家均非常重视。将光伏应用集成到建筑物、基础设施和景观中，提供了巨大应用商机，甚至与风能、生物能源和能量存储等相结合得到应用。大规模可持续发电不仅可用于满足电力需求，而且可用于供热需求，甚至可用于燃料和产品。这一信念清楚地转化为我们的创新和部署政策。光伏是一些发达城市能源雄心勃勃的创新计划中的一个重要课题，广义上的城市环境中的能源创新的国家公私伙伴关系。大规模光伏部署受到小型和大型系统应用里，以及若干财政政策支持与激励，光伏市场也相应增长，因此，光伏PV必将蓬勃发展。

EU PVSEC 2023 Wraps Up – Innovations are a Decisive Factor in the Global PV Race
• Photovoltaics Paves the Way to Combat Climate Change
• Awarding of the Becquerel Prize
• Session Recordings Available Worldwide
• EU PVSEC 2024 in Vienna, Austria
• ANNEX – Technical Highlights of the Conference
The European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition (EU PVSEC) 2023 concluded on 22 September 2023, marking another successful year of bringing together over 1850 leading experts, researchers and industry players to present and discuss the latest developments in photovoltaic research and technology. Over the course of five days, renowned researchers and industry pioneers shared their insights in over 1050 insightful presentations. The exhibition hall was bustling with activity as companies and organisations presented their latest products and services. As we reflect on this dynamic event, we are reminded of Dr Gunter Erfurt's insightful opening speech, where he stated, "An ecosystem that has everything, from R&D to the industry, is most efficient." This statement captures the essence of EU PVSEC, bridging the worlds of PV R&D and industry, and highlights the efficiency that results from such a strong collaboration.
Photovoltaics Paves the Way to Combat Climate Change
The key message of this week is the pivotal role of photovoltaics in mitigating climate change, urgently called for by the IPCC this year1
. Indeed, Diana ÜrgeVorsatz, Vice-Chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) underlined that while climate change is an undeniable reality, the PV community is already providing effective solutions. Alarmingly, the IMF reported that fossil fuel subsidies surged to a record $7 Trillion in 20222
. Scaling back these subsidies would reduce air pollution, generate revenue, and make a major contribution to slowing climate change. This is particularly significant given that solar PV has been consistently cheaper than new coal- or gas-fired power plants in most countries. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA) 3 , solar projects now offer some of the most affordable electricity rates ever recorded. The global community echoes the IMF, IEA and IPCC and calls for the elimination of wasteful subsidies for fossil fuels and increased investments in a clean energy future.
Building on a rapidly expanding production and deployment rate and 1.5 TW of global installed capacity expected by the end of 2023, the PV community discussed the pathways and challenges towards becoming a major, sustainable, and circular clean energy source in the coming decades.
Awarding of the Becquerel Prize
During the opening ceremony of the EU PVSEC 2023, Dr. Gunter Erfurt was awarded the prestigious Alexander Edmond Becquerel Prize. This recognises his remarkable achievements in revitalising the advanced manufacturing of silicon solar cells and modules in Europe through his leadership at Meyer Burger.
Session Recordings Available Worldwide
EU PVSEC offers participants the extended opportunity to access the wealth of knowledge presented at the event. The recordings of the scientific sessions and Parallel Events and the Industry Summit will be accessible for three months, allowing attendees to continue to work with the valuable content and innovative insights even after the event.
EU PVSEC 2024 in Vienna, Austria
The EU PVSEC is set to return in 2024, bringing together solar energy experts, researchers, and industry leaders in the picturesque city of Vienna, Austria from 23 - 27 September for another exceptional event. Stay tuned to find out more about the exciting programme, registration, and opportunities to be at the forefront of solar energy innovation.
