To strengthen global energy security and help create sustainable energy infrastructures by promoting the social, economic and environmental benefits of thin-film solar photovoltaic technologies.

Concretely, PVthin is working to:

• Strengthen global energy security and support the transition to a low carbon economy by promoting thin-film solar photovoltaic technologies

• Cooperate with associations and industries that support responsible product management at end-of-life and internalised holistic environmental footprinting based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)

• Strongly encourage resource-efficient production, sustainable raw material use, and responsible PV recycling and recovery programs and technologies

• Educate policymakers of the potential of thin-film PV and the environmental, social, economic and technological advantages of thin-film

• Provide a platform for research into both mature and emerging thin-film PV technologies
