Visual Presentations CHAIRMEN’S MESSAGE

It is my great pleasure to invite you to Europe’s most important event in Photovoltaic solar energy which will be held in Hamburg, Germany. The last year has seen a lot of progress in PV deployment, notably in Europe with an estimated installation of almost 15 GW. Meanwhile all European Member States have delivered their National Renewable Energy Action Plans to the European Commission, and it looks that there is a firm commitment which will bring Europe’s PV capacity to almost 100 GW by 2020.

As you can see from the programme of the conference, the more than 250 oral and plenary presentations address technology developments which shall lead towards 2020, and in particular regarding Europe’s share in producing and installing this expected quantity. The timing of the 26th EU PVSEC coincides with a year when the European Commission plans new initiatives to foster innovation in key energy technologies. Will the costs of such massive production further decrease? How and where will large arrays with more than 100 MW be deployed? Which countries will reach grid parity within this year or the next few years? Will sunny countries install more concentrating PV systems than solar thermodynamic plants? What developments can be expected in other regions of the world, notably in China, in the US and in Africa?

You will agree that there are exciting times ahead and the 26th EU PVSEC will surely provide more insight. The opportunities of large scale PV deployment in urban and landscape environments will be presented in a special parallel event, which promises certainly some surprises. The exhibition will again be the showroom of the PV industry and for you the occasion to check out products, equipment and new materials.

I will be glad to welcome you soon in Hamburg!

Dr. Heinz Ossenbrink European Commission, DG Joint Research Centre Conference General Chairman

I MESSAGE FROM THE TECHNICAL PROGRAMME CHAIR It is a great pleasure and hon- our for me to act as Technical Programme Chair of the 26th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition in Hamburg, Germany. This year, the 26th EU PVSEC gath- ers the global scientific PV community and industry. YOU, the scientific and industrial PV community, gave an overwhelming response to the Call for Papers. More than 1750 abstracts have been received for this Conference! I would like to sincerely thank the Scientific Committee, and in particular the Topic Organisers, for per- forming such an excellent task in selecting the contributions to compose this exciting Conference Programme. It covers all aspects of Photovoltaic Solar Electricity. It offers overviews of the latest scientific findings, industrial progress and political landscape through keynote and plenary presentations and it also provides in depth specialised thematic sessions were essential details are presented in a more focused and technical manner. Regarding the Exhibition, the generous area spread over nine extremely huge exhibition halls has already been booked by the PV Solar industry and PV organisations from Europe and around the globe! This confirms the commitment of the international PV community to this unique an- nual show and underlines once more the outstanding role of the 26th EU PVSEC for PV Industry and Research, mak- ing the EU PVSEC the most inspiring and leading platform for the global PV solar sector. The dramatic events at Fukushima in March 2011 have ignited a new discussion about the future energy supply mix worldwide and the role PV will and can play in it. The 26th EU PVSEC will be a key event to review the progress of photovoltaic solar energy and its crucial role on the pathway to fulfil the European Union’s commitment to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 80 to 85% by 2050. I am looking forward to meeting you in Hamburg to present, follow and discuss the latest trends and developments in the photovoltaic sector. In Hamburg, we have the chance to contribute together to the shape of OUR future renewable energy mix for our well-being and the well-being of our children!

The half-day Summit will address industry players and policy makers, as well as investors wanting to know more about the potential of the PV sector. A top-level policy maker will ex- plain the political and regulatory perspective for the development of renewables within the energy mix, and two panels featuring CEOs of the world’s biggest PV companies will ex- amine current key issues of the industry. The first panel will discuss the global PV supply and demand balance as well as the potential for further PV cost reduction. The second panel will concentrate on grid parity and the necessary up-grades in grid infrastructure.

Being an official event of the 26th EU PVSEC, the European PV Industry Summit is jointly organised by EPIA - European Photovoltaic Industry Association and EU PVSEC.
