As the market in Western Europe becomes over-saturated, solar market professionals eye the potential of their neighbours to the east. The Czech Republic and Bulgaria are already experiencing a surge in their electricity production from Solar Energy, Poland’s growth in the Solar Thermal market cannot be ignored, and countries such as Slovakia and Slovenia offer excellent potential for market deployment.

The Photovoltaic and Solar Thermal markets are forecasted to expand in the CEE (Central Eastern Europe) for a number of other important reasons. Targets set at EU level are pushing the development of Renewable Energy in CEE forward. This has resulted in a heightened aim by many governments to review their energy policies and find easier solutions for investors which will ultimately result in increased installations.

Now in its 3rd year in the CEE Solar market, EastEuro Link has moved its focus from Greece to the Czech Republic. The whole CEE market will be explored but particular detail will be paid to the Czech market which may act as the exemplar country to those other countries in Eastern Europe looking to broaden their involvement in the solar market sector.
