Josefin Berg Kicks Off InterSolar Session on European PV Market Growth and Future Outlook, Featuring Insights from Industry Experts Raffaele Rossi and Daniel Schmitt

Josefin Berg, director for solar research at S&P Global Commodity Insights, opened the final session of the day at InterSolar. She engaged attendees in a participatory exercise to reflect on their journey and perceptions within the solar industry since June 2022 when the European Commission launched its ambitious RePower EU plan aimed at tripling installed capacity by 2025. While acknowledging that growth has been non-linear, she highlighted that Europe is on track to meet interim targets despite facing various challenges. The session focused on examining European markets beyond Germany's substantial contributions to photovoltaic (PV) expansion. Josefin set the stage for upcoming presentations and discussions: Raffaele Rossi from Solar Power Europe would provide an outlook on Europe's PV market; Daniel Schmitt from Memodo would delve into demand, pricing, supply dynamics over recent years; and representatives from solar associations across Europe planned to share insights into local market trends and future directions. The event concluded with a panel discussion featuring Q&A sessions where audience participation was encouraged.
