About Caroline

Specialist in solar energy, particularly solar photovoltaic, for over 15 years, I now lead the activity of the Institut Becquerel in France. I have acquired solid knowledge of the PV sector. As Innovation Director of the DERBI competitiveness cluster, I supported companies, laboratories, and local authorities in their development, and participated in the coordination of regional renewable energy strategies. As an engineer specializing in solar energy, I gained my experience through the development and techno-economic analysis of solar projects across several market segments. I now put my expertise to use in consulting missions for clients worldwide.
