pv magazine Session
@ NetZero Milan Expo-Summit
October 21, 2026 | 11:30 am – 1:30 pm | Milan, Italy
CONFERENCE ROOM KYOTO
As Knowledge Partner of NetZero Milan, pv magazine will organize and moderate a two-hour conference session focused on the rapidly evolving global solar supply chain.
Decoding solar supply chains: Strategies for resilience
The global photovoltaic market is undergoing rapid transformation, and solar module and inverter supply chains are at the heart of both its opportunities and challenges. This session will explore the dynamics shaping these critical supply chains, with a focus on pricing pressure, overcapacity, and technological evolution.
Participants will gain insight into how global overproduction is impacting module and inverter prices, creating both competitive tension and strategic opportunities. The session will also examine how innovation in PV technology, from higher-efficiency modules to smarter inverter solutions, is helping manufacturers and developers navigate an increasingly complex market landscape.
Beyond analysis, the discussion will highlight actionable strategies for resilience, including risk management, supply diversification, and adoption of next-generation technologies. Attendees will leave with a deeper understanding of the forces reshaping the solar supply chain and practical insights for securing sustainable growth in the global PV market.

Brazil’s new curtailment rules unlikely to revive utility-scale solar investment
Brazil’s new curtailment rules offer greater regulatory certainty for solar developers, but uncertainty over future generation cuts and financial risks continues to weigh on investment. Industry experts expect new utility-scale solar projects to remain limited despite progress on compensation and curtailment allocation.
Beyond recruitment: What really keeps women in solar
This week, Women in Solar+ Europe (WiSEu) shares insights from its contribution to SolarPower Europe’s EU Solar Jobs Report 2026, exploring what attracts women to Solar+ and what makes them stay, progress or leave. Drawing on a survey across its network in 22 European countries, WiSEu highlights a clear message: purpose brings women into the industry, but their everyday experience of leadership, opportunity and workplace culture shapes whether they build their careers within it.
