Interest in agricultural PV is growing across Europe - not just among policymakers but also among farmers, as it enables efficient land use, creates new revenue streams, and can even boost yields for certain crops. Despite its vast business potential and growing market, agricultural PV remains in its infancy, primarily due to high costs and legislative constraints. This session will provide: Overview of the latest progress in agricultural PV across Europe - from use case to technology Insights into policy support and regulatory developments Updates on biodiversity considerations in agricultural PV projects Economic viability analysis of different agricultural PV applications.

Despite strong research capabilities and the presence of leading production equipment suppliers, Europe has been struggling to rebuild competitive wafer-to-module manufacturing, while the USA and India have enabled a local renaissance in solar manufacturing. In Europe, even long-established inverter manufacturers have been losing considerable ground. With the EU's Net Zero Industry Act yet to deliver momentum, attention is turning to the upcoming Industry Accelerator Act. This session examines how policy, investment and value-chain strategies can strengthen domestic manufacturing and increase internal value creation.Key topics:Overview of EU and national policy frameworks to support local manufacturingStatus of Europe's solar manufacturing value chainInvestment gaps and competitiveness challenges Strategies for triggering a sustainable solar manufacturing revival
