About EU PVSEC


The EU PVSEC is the largest international Conference for Photovoltaic research, technologies and applications and at the same time a PV Industry Exhibition, where specialized PV Industry presents technologies, innovations and new concepts in the upstream PV sector. It gathers the global PV community to present and discuss the latest developments in Photovoltaics, to network and to conduct business. It is the world-renowned science-to-science and science-to-industry platform uniquely focused on the global PV Solar sector. The conference scientific programme is coordinated by the European Commission Joint Research Centre.


The EU PVSEC consists of different elements that complement each other to cover the whole spectrum PV has to offer. It is a meeting point for PV experts worldwide, offering a programme that provides an overview and insights beyond one's own field and ensures that topics that yield an interface between sectors and fields can be addressed explicitly.


As the “new king of electricity” solar power has a key role to play in the energy transition and the EU PVSEC is THE place to discuss the photovoltaic (r)evolution. The over 40 year long history and the diverse programme of the EU PVSEC makes it a landmark event in the scientific PV sector.


For 2024, we are more than delighted to welcome you in person  from 23 – 27 September in Vienna, Austria. Welcome to EU PVSEC Exhibition, a pivotal platform that emphasises the importance of solar energy in the global landscape. As solar power continues to assert itself as a leading, versatile and economically viable energy source, the Exhibition remains at the forefront of fostering connections between researchers, policymakers and industry leaders worldwide. Building on its established legacy, this trade fair seamlessly integrates different sectors of the PV value chain and facilitates collaboration of cutting-edge research centres and forward-thinking manufacturing companies. Our aim is not only to showcase the latest research results, but also to promote their prompt implementation in the market.


In 2024, when we once again bring together experts from all over the world, the EU PVSEC Exhibition will remain a leading business-to-business exhibition, providing a unique opportunity for R&D companies to ride the wave of emerging trends in the dynamic solar energy sector.
