GLOBAL PV MARKETS: EUROPE – A STABLE OUTLOOK?
Summary
PV is at the heart of the
fundamental transformation
in Europe's power market.
While regulatory changes
lead to a rise in demand,
there is also a trend towards
new applications such as PV
systems combined with
electrical energy storage in
both the residential and the
commercial/industrial sector.
These have led to the
emergence of new business
models. Against this
backdrop, a stable demand
of approx. 7 GW annually
across Europe has been
forecast for the foreseeable
future. This session will shed
light on how selected
markets such as Germany,
the Netherlands, and Turkey
are expected to develop
within their respective
framework conditions.
