NET Nowak Energy & Technology Ltd. congratulates the Becquerel Prize Winner 2017, Stefan Nowak, our Managing Director.
Since 1989, the European Commission has awarded the Becquerel Prize to people who have made important contributions to the development of photovoltaics. The prize recognises long-term scientific, technical and entrepreneurial achievements or, in exceptional cases, outstanding inventions and discoveries. This award is one of the world’s two most prestigious awards in this field.
Stefan Nowak receives the award in honour of his merits in the field of integration of photovoltaic electricity into the future global sustainable energy system. The decision of the Becquerel Prize Committee is based primarily on his outstanding work in the development and leadership of international PV research, innovation and implementation programmes.
Stefan Nowak is one of the leading strategists and promoters of targeted European and global cooperation on PV research, market assessment and deployment. Of particular importance are his long-lasting activities as chairman of the International Energy Agency’s Photovoltaic Power Systems Programme (IEA PVPS) and as coordinator of the Solar European Research Area Network (SOLAR-ERA.NET). His leadership, comprehensive and precise analyses, as well as inspiring discourse in strategic and institutional discussions have strongly contributed to the global credibility of photovoltaics as a basis of future energy systems.
