The European Technology and Innovation Platform for Photovoltaics (ETIP PV) is an independent body recognised by the European Commission and the SET Plan Steering Group as a representative of the photovoltaic sector. Our activities focus on the opportunities and challenges facing the European photovoltaic sector. We make recommendations with a view to improving the competitiveness of the European PV industry, both the upstream segments (incl. feedstock supply, equipment manufacturing, cell and module production) and the downstream ones (incl. technical solutions for grid integration, market solutions for grid integration, installation).
