European Policy Workshop “PV prosumers on the rise – how Europe can empower more people to produce, consume & sell their own electricity”
Brussels, 21st November 2019
The workshop showcased the results from 3 EU projects and identified what is preventing more Europeans to become PV prosumers – and developed solutions for better policy-making that will remove key barriers and boost the further uptake of photovoltaics across Europe. Organized by the European funded projects PVP4Grid, EU Heroes & iDistributedPV.
