IEA PVPS Trends Report 2024
As part of the ISES and IEA PVPS webinar collaboration, ISES is happy to welcome IEA PVPS for this webinar presenting the IEA PVPS Trends Report 2024!
Join us for an insightful webinar highlighting the key findings from the IEA PVPS Trends Report 2024, the most comprehensive global analysis of the photovoltaics (PV) sector. Now in its 29th edition, the report covers the latest PV market developments, including policies, technologies, statistics, and industry trends.
In 2023, the PV industry continued its remarkable growth, setting new records for annual and cumulative capacity. We'll delve into the factors driving this expansion across global markets, with a particular focus on key regions such as China, Europe, and the Americas. Explore the ongoing transformation in the PV industry, including new manufacturing capacities, the evolving competitiveness of solar energy, the challenges posed by grid capacity and infrastructure limitations and evolving policy decisions.
This webinar is essential for anyone seeking to understand the current landscape and future trajectory of solar power, based on the latest data and insights from the IEA PVPS Trends Report 2024.
