The most important event on the solar year which was attended by over 4 thousand scientists and 750 companies in the industry.
04/09/2008 - It ends today, the European Solar Energy Conference held in Valencia from Monday. Photovoltaics most important appointment of the year attended by more than 4 thousand scientists and 750 companies in the industry. Together with European industry association
Photovoltaic (EPIA) took stock of the situation of a market and an industry grown enormously in recent years, highlighting the enormous potential but also some factors still hamper their development.
Against this backdrop, leaders of major organizations in the sector and representatives of major European companies have agreed that now the light of recent technological developments and of the price of photovoltaic energy from traditional sources, the modules are destined to become a major source of energy in the coming years to reach competitiveness with fossil fuels in a few years.
Considerations further enhanced by the energy policies initiated by the European Union, which is preparing to launch a package of legislation aimed at encouraging energy saving and renewable sources (due to both a target of 20 per cent) in its Member States, as well as' abatement of greenhouse gas emissions by 20 percent compared to 1990 (that commitment could be further enhanced if you reach a global agreement on cutting emissions).
All reasons why the industry to believe in even more ambitious goals. For that they have unanimously agreed a new goal: get to cover 12 percent of electricity European Union by the same date.
All have also agreed on the achievement in bringing the so-called "grid parity", anticipating the year 2010 in European markets helped by increased solar radiation conditions such as Spain and Italy, where prices are equal electricity retail between fv and traditional sources may come in 2012 and 2010 respectively.
in Germany is now postponed to 2015. To get progressively across Europe in 2020.
industry the task of increasing investment in technology to accelerate the reduction of costs. Politicians instead to ensure proper support until grid parity is not uniformly achieved in all EU countries.
Not only will facilitate the administrative procedures for the approval of the facilities, ensure their priority access to network and participate actively in the implementation of the Strategic Plan for Energy Technology (SET Plan) at European level to take off the search and sector development.
For this reason, could not miss the reference to certain measures which are likely to implode some of the most extraordinary experiences. The reference obligation of the Conference of Valencia is the revision of the energy bill English are raining on which the criticism not only of the English but from all over the world.
"I urge the English Government to continue to guarantee its support for the photovoltaic industry," said Ernesto Macias, doubly interested in this happening as EPIA President and Head of Communications of the giant English Isofoton.
Epia its part is committed to creating a co-ordination with operators in other sectors of clean energy in order to coordinate efforts within a global renewable scenario.
