SUCCESSES

• high intellectual potential

• establishing Centres of Excellence

• international networking

• increasing number of demonstration projects

• increasing number of off-grid systems

• „Sun to Schools” in Czech Republic

• „Development of Photovoltaics for Energy Needs” in Poland


• Obligations arising from White Paper (12% RES) and

Directive 2001/77/EC (22,1% E-RES) in 2010

• enlargement of the EU by 10 states

• dedicated support for PV throughout the whole

Europe

• improvement of the coherence of New Members and

EU PV RTD activities on PV

CHALLENGES


BARRIERS

• absence of clear strategy on RES development

• Low awarness of solar option - PV is “at the end” of RES

• “die hard” prejudices

• weak national RTD funding

• lack of the real PV market

• strong fossil fuels lobby


CONCLUSIONS

• photovoltaics may develop in NAS

• awareness should be increased in society and among the key decision makers.

• the legal and market framework should be developed and strengthened

• NMS can effectively deploy their potential and contribute to corroborate and extend the European leadership in the advanced technologies research and industry.


• Improvement of the coherence of NAS activities

and EU PV RTD programmes on photovoltaics

• Formulation of the recommendations for PV

RTD programming in NAS and EC
