PV Market and Industry Status

Organized by the Becquerel Institute

What is driving the PV market in COVID times? And what can we expect in the coming months and years? While one could have believed the epidemic is near over and the business is restarting on fresh new bases, constrains actually remain on business, trade, and industry. This session will browse through the situation of the PV market and industry in general, globally, and highlight the possible future paths for development.

Moderated by: José Donoso, UNEF Spain
