TNO's Solar Flexible event, on 27 November 2025, will bring together technology, economics, and policy to explore pathways for scaling up smart, flexible solar production in Europe.

Smart manufacturing as the key to Europe’s energy future

The European solar industry is at a crossroads. Integrated and customised photovoltaic (PV) solutions are increasingly in demand, yet large-scale adoption and a viable business case remain challenging. How can Europe strengthen its competitiveness and ensure that solar manufacturing plays a central role in the clean energy transition?

At Solar Flexible, leading experts, policymakers, and industry representatives will reflect on the lessons learned so far and discuss the conditions for success in the years ahead. The event brings together technology, economics, and policy to identify pathways for scaling up smart, flexible solar manufacturing in Europe.
