PV Module Procurement in Europe’s ESG-Driven Landscape
This opening session sets the foundation for understanding PV module procurement and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations in the European market.
Special attention will be given to the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) and its implementation timeline following the Omnibus Package amendments. The discussion will explore how these evolving regulations are influencing module pricing, supplier qualification processes, and documentation requirements throughout the PV supply chain.
Coffee Break
Balancing Technology, Price, and ESG in Europe’s PV Market
This strategic session explores the delicate balance between cutting-edge technology, competitive pricing, and ESG compliance in European solar module procurement. With module prices now routinely at ten-euro cents per watt and corporate renewable energy procurement breaking records in 2024, procurement specialists must navigate complex trade-offs while meeting sustainability goals. Participants will gain actionable insights on evaluating technological innovations, responding to price fluctuations from Chinese manufacturers, and implementing robust ESG verification processes to optimize their solar procurement strategies.
After module procurement set new records for module pricing in 2024, module prices are now routinely below 10-Euro cents
Networking Lunch
Quality Assurance in Cost-Constrained Environments
This practical session addresses the critical challenge of maintaining product quality standards while operating under significant cost pressures. Industry experts will share proven strategies for implementing effective quality control measures that don’t compromise financial objectives. Participants will explore risk-based quality assurance frameworks, technology-enabled monitoring solutions, and supplier relationship management techniques that prioritize quality without premium pricing. Through real-world case studies, attendees will discover how statistical process control and data-driven approaches can identify quality issues early while minimizing costs.
Coffee Break
PV Module supplier forum
This session brings together leading PV Module manufacturers for a series of focused presentations followed by an interactive panel discussion. Each manufacturer will deliver a presentation highlighting their latest technological innovations, production capacity expansions, and sustainability initiatives.
Following the individual showcases, our moderator will facilitate a panel discussion where these industry leaders will address critical questions facing the European solar industry. Topics will include differentiating products, approaches to supply chain transparency, and pathways to achieving both cost competitiveness and ESG compliance.
Global Perspectives: PV Module Procurement Across Europe and International Markets
This session will present key lessons from the more mature and stringent ESG compliance ecosystem in US module procurement, highlighting how these practices can inform Europe’s evolving approach. With Europe adopting stricter ESG regulations targeting forced labor in global supply chains, we’ll explore how insights from the US can guide European procurement strategies. The discussion will focus on balancing compliance, pricing, and technology adoption in the context of Europe’s unique market dynamics.
Coffee Break
Evaluating Emerging PV Technologies for Commercial Viability
This session explores evaluation frameworks for next-generation PV technologies including perovskite solar cells. Key topics include technical performance, scalability, durability, and integration with current manufacturing. Participants will gain insights into benchmarks for efficiency, stability, and cost, guiding the transition from lab to mass production. The session also features companies bringing innovations to market and the research driving these advancements.
Lunch
PV Developer Forum – Best Practice in PV Module Procurement
This interactive session features solar developers, EPCs, and asset owners to share strategies for procuring reliable, ESG-compliant PV modules with verifiable supply chains. Discussions will address EU ESG frameworks, including CSRD reporting, CBAM carbon accounting, and CSDDD verification. Case studies will highlight blockchain traceability, third-party ESG protocols, and supplier scorecards balancing sustainability with cost and performance. Attendees will gain actionable insights for sustainable procurement and join a community for ongoing knowledge sharing as ESG standards evolve.
