Benjamin Clarke
Global Markets Manager
SolarPower Europe
Brussels, Belgium
I coordinate SolarPower Europe's international cooperation work, acting on behalf of our members to improve business conditions in high growth markets.
About me
Proactive and highly motivated professional working in renewable energy policy and international cooperation. In my role I seek to identify business opportunities for solar PV internationally by producing market intelligence reports, and engaging with EU and national policy makers to unleash the solar potential of global markets. As part of this, I also provide capacity building support to renewable energy associations in key target markets. The other part of my role sees me manage international projects in Europe, sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, and the MENA region aimed at developing technical best practice at all lifecycle stages of solar assets, for use by industry professionals.
