About PVthin
Our Mission
To strengthen global energy security and help create sustainable energy infrastructures by promoting the social, economic and environmental benefits of thin-film solar photovoltaic technologies.
Concretely, PVthin is working to:
- Strengthen global energy security and support the transition to a low carbon economy by promoting thin-film solar photovoltaic technologies
- Cooperate with associations and industries that support responsible product management at end-of-life and internalised holistic environmental footprinting based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
- Strongly encourage resource-efficient production, sustainable raw material use, and responsible PV recycling and recovery programs and technologies
- Educate policymakers of the potential of thin-film PV and the environmental, social, economic and technological advantages of thin-film
- Provide a platform for research into both mature and emerging thin-film PV technologies
PVthin is an international, not-for-profit coalition representing global leaders in the Thin-Film Solar Industry and broader value chain based on chalcogenide perovskite, tandem and heterojunction PV technologies.
PVthin is registered as a non-profit international association under Belgian law.

"Europe is currently facing a period of major change. The European Green Deal and the Fit for 55 legislative package will present major opportunities for thin-film PV. I am proud and motivated to be at the helm of PVthin and represent the thin-film solar industry and its broader value chain based on chalcogenide, perovskite, tandem, and heterojunction PV-technologies. Our technologies will be crucial to achieve the EU´s climate ambitions."
