Today, demand for PV modules in Europe and the Middle-East is hitting record-levels and this shows no signs of slowing down. Set against this backdrop, there are more conditions that need to be fulfilled by module buyers, with greater due-diligence being undertaken on potential suppliers. This increased scrutiny on buying modules includes:

• bankability status
• module qualification and testing
• component traceability
• field performance

PV ModuleTech EMEA in Madrid on 29-30 November 2022 will feature presentations addressing local module supply issues over the next few years and the factors impacting component country-of-origin and traceability, gathering together all the key stakeholders across the value-chain from module production to field testing.

The event is expected to be sold-out, similar to the event we held in June 2022 in Napa, California for the U.S. market which was both highly informative and enjoyable as attendees were treated to an evening visit to a local winery for a wine tasting experience. We expect to have a similar treat on offer during the PV ModuleTech EMEA event in Madrid, hopefully giving more reasons to attend!

Leading up to the event, we are actively speaking to companies that will be contributing to and participating in this two-day event. We would be delighted to get your inputs and thoughts, as we fine tune the scope and content of the final agenda and list of keynote speakers.

I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible in Madrid soon. Finlay Colville, Event Founder and Head of Research, PV Tech
