SUSTAINABLE SOLAR EUROPE
07 December 2023 I La Tricoterie I Brussels

The European solar industry has been undergoing rapid development in recent times, and exciting growth is expected in the years ahead. Against this background, the solar sector needs to demonstrate its suitability to become Europe and the world’s primary energy source. To do so, long-term sustainability under all relevant dimensions – environmental, social and economic – must be achieved.

Following the success of the 2022 edition, Sustainable Solar Europe 2023 is the must-go event to gain a 360 degree perspective of the topic of sustainability in the solar PV sector. Bringing together industry players, academics, policymakers and other stakeholders, this event will tackle some of the hottest sustainability topics for the sector, with dedicated sessions on supply chain transparency, regulatory frameworks for sustainable PV manufacturing, trends and innovations in floating solar and agrivoltaics, PV end-of-life challenges and circular solutions, among others. Attendees will get in-depth knowledge of industry best practices, regulatory and policy updates, surrounded by a great environment for networking opportunities.
