One of our key priorities at SolarPower Europe is to make sure that the solar industry is established as a strategic value chain, in order to ensure Europe’s security of supply and to maintain industrial leadership. European researchers, developers, and manufacturers are pioneers in solar technology, and an industrial strategy would allow Europe companies to continue to lead the world in solar.
