Photovoltaic OBSERVATORY
Advocating sustainable policies in Europe
In the context of the fast evolving European PV market in the recent years, the need for a permanent monitoring of market dynamics has led to the creation of the Photovoltaic Observatory. It identifies recommended conditions for market development and best practices for the sustainable development of PV, promoting market transparency and harmonisation.
The three main recommendations are as follows:
- Sustainable support schemes
- Streamlined administrative procedures
- Efficient grid connection processes
While PV still requires temporary political support before it reaches full competitiveness, the Photovoltaic Observatory represents an essential tool to advise national decision makers for the successful implementation of their support policies. The report that initially focuses on key EU PV markets, will be progressively supplemented with more country analysis, as well as specific market elements. This will help support the sustainable development of the market and the industry in Europe and world-wide.
