The 25th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition/5th World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion (25th EU PVSEC/WCPEC-5) opens its doors today (Monday Sept.6th), welcoming the global PV community to the Feria, Valencia. This year the event is expected to attract more than 4,500 conference delegates and approximately 40,000 visitors to the photovoltaics industry exhibition.

“This World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion will bring together the three most important global scientific and strategic PV Conferences: the 25th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition, the 36th US IEEE Photovoltaic Specialists Conference and the 20th Asia/Pacific PV Science and Engineering Conference. We are confident that this 5th World Conference will provide the best forum to present the latest progress in PV development and manufacturing.  Exciting visions of how massive deployment of photovoltaic systems will look in 10 years from now will be outlined,” said the EU PVSEC/WCPEC-5 2010 organizers.
