11 The solar photovoltaic (PV) sector grew from a niche market towards a mature technology over the past decade. Solar PV is already able to provide electricity at competitive prices in several regions of the world. As a result, the solar PV market diversified both in terms of technology applications and business models, as well as geographically. The successful future development of the solar industry might benefit significantly from an institution, which represents the industry at an international or global level. In response to this scenario… Over 30 national and regional photovoltaic associations are joining forces to set up the Global Solar Photovoltaic Association – GSPVA. Background

12 “The GSPVA will represents the photovoltaic sector on a global scale, working in partnership with photovoltaic associations and companies at the national, regional, and international political level to advocate and promote photovoltaics throughout the world.” Objective

13 Represent, on an institutional basis, the PV sector towards key international organizations and decision makers, such as IRENA, IEA, UNFCCC, World Bank, IMF, Regional Development Banks, IPCC, UNEP, amongst others. Clarify and communicate the benefits and potential of PV to international organizations and decision makers. Produce and promote throughout the world transparent, reliable and authoritative data and studies on the PV technology, sector and market. Assist PV associations to develop PV policy recommendations. Promote the development of new and existing PV markets throughout the world. Mission Statements

14 Facilitate market cooperation amongst national associations and their member companies subject to legal restraints of compliance regulations. Provide a global platform for networking and communication opportunities and joint projects within the solar photovoltaic sector and potential user sector. Propose new approaches to help the global PV market grow. Share best-practice information and market trends among national associations and stakeholders Assist new / infant Solar PV associations in new markets. Mission Statements

15 Work with global institutions to give them transparent (international best practice) information about the benefits and potential of photovoltaics, enabling them to make informed decisions about energy policies. Enable and support collaboration between policy makers in different countries to help them share best practices and experiences in adding photovoltaics to their energy mix. Establish strategic partnerships with other relevant players to enable positive synergies for further growth. Facilitate cooperation amongst all members at large and affiliated members. Provide authoritative research and analysis about established and emerging PV markets throughout the world. Target
