Presentations
  • Is Europe likely to follow the U.S. Department of Commerce in scrutinizing module supply-chains back to polysilicon & further? What would this mean for most European & Middle East deliveries relying on modules shipping directly from China in the next few years?
  • Will European utilities, Middle East investors, or European-headquartered global corporates enforce PV module suppliers to the ESG-compliant? Will this become the new norm for PV modules used in European large-scale PV deployment going forward?
