Welcome to the Photovoltaics in the European Union New Member States Portal!

The goal of this portal is to provide up-to date information about the photovoltaic sector within European Union 12 New Member States: Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia. Key data for this portal come mostly from national survey questionnaires supplied by the representatives of each NMS.

The new enlarged European PV industry and the energy market require a very deliberate emphasis on technology transfer and dissemination if new and improved energy technologies are to be successfully developed. It is also of strategic importance to have information updated and exchanged and to use the latest results available, to orientate the ongoing research activities towards the problems and key issues relevant in the context of the enlarged European Union. These countries can thereby effectively deploy their potential and contribute to support and extend the European leadership in advanced technology research and industry.
