The 2nd Conference on Photovoltaics: Cooperation of the European Union New Member States will provide practical insights into development, policy, market, support mechanisms and legal-administrative framework conditions regarding the deployment of PV in these states.

The PV market in the region is growing rapidly and presents huge opportunities. Long-term trends of rising energy prices and diversification efforts across the region will only reinforce this development.

The scope of this Conference is on economic, policy, financial aspects of photovoltaics. The Conference will pave the way for wider endorsement of the PV technology’s potential, raise interest, awareness and competence of PV applications, assuring right place of PV in the National Action Plans for RES, overcoming the prejudice towards grid-connected PV installations, understanding how to handle PV with balanced and logical decisions without preconceived notions and/or based on misleading information.

The involvement of institutions/companies involved in the World’s photovoltaics with the experience in similar initiatives could help transfer know-how and information especially on the development of strategies and support to national authorities; to envisage advising tasks on PV market issues and in particular on national action plans and support mechanisms.
