Solar photovoltaic special interest group

Time: 10am-1pm

The group

The solar photovoltaic special interest group, Solar PV SIG for short, was launched at Greenbuild Expo in June 2011 to provide a forum for members within this industry. The group aims to provide a platform to inform its members on recent and future developments in the industry, as well as addressing best practice and tackling barriers to uptake.

The group's aim is to build the value of the UK solar PV supply chain. The group will provide members with the opportunity to network, share information and form links to the research base, as well as seeking to increase the amount of UK content in the supply chain and attract inward investment.

The group is industry-led with Envirolink acting as secretariat and hosting quarterly meetings.

October meeting

As this is the first meeting since the launch of the Solar PV SIG, the role of chair will be voted in by members of the group. If you are interested in this role, please contact

Gareth Bennett to express your interest on email g.bennett@envirolink.co.uk. The meeting will focus on solar PV finance and funding and finish with a tour of Salford University's Energy Hub test house facility to detail how the PV industry can use the facilities and services on offer.
