Thank you!

The 30th edition of the SolarPACES conference was a great success with an amazing number of 525 participants from 40 countries.

We would like to thank all attendees, speakers, authors and co-authors, sponsors, and chairs for their contributions and participation. As always, it was a pleasure to have you at our conference.

You may watch the main part of the opening session on youtube and we are pleased to share the speech of the Italian Minister for Environment and Energy Security here.

We hope you enjoyed the plenary and breakout sessions, the poster sessions, and the lively networking events and already look forward to welcoming you next year in Almería, Spain.

31st SolarPACES Conference, September 23-26, 2025, Almería, Spain.
