Photovoltaic solar industry day in Grenoble: Discover the full programme

Solar industry players, members of Capenergies,

Building on the success of the first edition in 2024 (130 participants), Capenergies invites you to the 2ᵉ Photovoltaic Solar Industry Sector Day.

Initially supported by Capenergies, Carbon and the CEA, this 2026 event now brings together a wider circle of organisers, with the support of key partners. An event that's going from strength to strength to help structure the industry!

Photovoltaic Solar Energy Industry Day

Thursday 05 March 2026 | 08:00-17:00

📍 Grenoble - Minatec

Photovoltaic solar energy is developing very dynamically in Europe and around the world. However, over 90% of solar panels are still imported from Asia, which raises major questions about our industrial sovereignty. Where does this leave our industrial ambitions? What are the key stages in the successful development of «PV Made in France»?

We look forward to seeing you on 5 March 2026 for a day of discussions on :

  • The European and national context,
  • Public policy and regulatory issues,
  • Projects by players across the entire industrial value chain, particularly gigafactory projects,
  • Industrial challenges over the entire lifecycle of solar panels,
  • Progress on R&D programmes.
