Both the residential and the commercial segments have seen a boom in rooftop PV. With nearly two thirds of all new solar capacity installed on buildings in the EU in 2022, the deployment of solar rooftop installations will continue in the short term. The energy crisis has been contributing to driving the demand for rooftop PV installations, with homeowners striving to protect themselves against surging retail energy rates and looking for affordable electrical heat and transportation options.

This session will discuss:

  • Drivers & challenges for rooftop solar PV in Europe
  • Technical solutions for high levels of solar self-consumption
  • Business models for prosumers

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
