  • Photovoltaic Equipment

as discussed at the last board meeting of the VDMA Photovoltaics Equipment sector group, we would like to invite the VDMA management and the VDMA PV Board to a joint meeting (online) on the topic of strategic exchange on the PV machinery industry. Despite the difficult situation for European PV manufacturers due to the lack of fair competitive conditions, the PV machinery industry in Germany and Europe continues to have very strong production technologies. Our members are able to cover almost all process steps of PV production in the consortium with a cumulative market potential of around USD 275 billion by 2035. The current framework conditions are currently not sufficient. To ensure future viability and growth, it is crucial to build on our strengths and exploit new potential.
