Wallonia Green Certificates
mechanism
Wallonia Green Certificates mechanims:
1. Growing obligation % of renewable power based on
yearly electricity sales for each power supplier
2. Penalty for the share that is not covered by Certificates
(x €/ missing GC)
3. Market for exchanging Certificates between green
producers and suppliers needing them
4. Regulatory body in each region granting the Certificates
and surveying the market
5. Certified bodies for inspecting the green power plants
and the bio-fuel resources

PV mapping : objectives
18
List all Walloon and Brussels actors with capacity for
technological innovation in the solar photovoltaic industry:
companies, R & D centers, universities, colleges …
1. Identify actors with integrated skills in the value chain in
the solar PV industry;
2. To position the Walloon know-how (and Brussels)
compared to industry needs and challenges in
technological innovation;
3. Promote these skills at national and international events

19. Impossible d'afficher l'image. Votre
PV mapping: milestones

1. Identify the "flow process" (with cost analysis) and
challenges in technological innovation for the different
solar PV technologies;
2. Conduct a mapping of Walloon stakeholders
(companies, R & D centers, training actors, ...), or not
involved in the solar PV sector, which have integrated
skills in the value chain of the solar PV;?
3. Targeting opportunities Walloon expertise in relation to
industry needs and challenges in technological
innovation;
4. Stimulate the development of investment projects and
R & D in the Walloon Region
5. Promote these skills both in Belgium and abroad.

• Monitoring of facilities (VA for installation channel) & Integration of
solar PV in the network (Smart & Micro Grid) & Prediction (energy
monitoring that better integrates the weather forecast)
• Integration of PV directly to the frame: BIPV sector (do not see PV
as an investment a posteriori) in connection with improving the
module components: more efficient glass, plastic glass fixing
system
• Development of new materials: breaking technology (OPV,
nanomaterials, new PV materials assets, ...)
• Recycling of panels: research efficient and sustainable recycling
technologies, development of encapsulation methods for rare
materials, ...
