Message from the Technical Programme Chair

 

We are currently facing the first real global energy crisis and we need commitment and international cooperation to tackle it. Therefore, we cordially invite you to be part of the 40th edition of the EU PVSEC, the leading platform for knowledge transfer in PV.

We have arranged the programme in 5 topics as follows - Silicon Materials and Cells; Thin Films and New Concepts; Photovoltaic Modules and BoS Components; PV Systems Engineering, Integrated/Applied PV; PV in the Energy Transition. The technology topics will highlight new developments in silicon cells, perovskites and tandems, amongst others. The Module and Systems topics cover design, implementation, performance and operation - including the increasingly important role of digitalization and machine learning - as well as the multitude of applications in areas such as buildings (BIPV), agriculture (Agri-PV) and on water (Floating PV). The energy transition topic covers the wide range of multidisciplinary efforts required to ensure the rapid deployment of PV technologies on a massive and global scale as a key element of the ecological transition, including, technical, storage, economic, sustainability, and social challenges.

 

We are pleased to announce that we officially opened our abstract submission for the 40th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition.

The 2023 conference looks forward to a festive occasion: it is the 40th jubilee of the largest scientific conference focused on the global PV Solar sector.
The EU PVSEC is a landmark in the global PV landscape and has been gathering not only the European PV community but also scientists, experts and policymakers from around the world for four decades.

Join us in celebrating the long tradition of the European Photovoltaic Conference and the revival the sector is currently experiencing. Be part of the momentum and shape the programme of the Worlds’s biggest PV solar energy conference.

Submit your abstract and get the chance to connect with PV experts around the globe, learn about and contribute to the latest innovations in PV, and help advancing PV research and deployment.

The Conference will be structured along the following five main topics:

As every year, EU PVSEC offers its authors the opportunity to submit conference papers that may be published in peer-reviewed journals. On top of the longstanding collaboration with Progress in Photovoltaics, we also offer the possibility to publish a selection of our submissions in Solar RRL and EPJ Photovoltaics.

With these different options, the EU PVSEC intends to not only increase the number of high-quality peer reviewed papers coming out of the conference, but also expand the breadth of scope and offer a range of publication options, including high impact factor journals and Open Access possibilities in different modalities.

Take a look at the different publication partners.

After the outstanding success of the exhibition in Milan 2022 with 74 exhibitors, we look forward to building on this foundation in 2023 and grow even bigger. We have felt the lively spirit in the halls of the exhibition and observed how the renaissance of the European PV industry is taking hold in all areas of the value chain.

We invite you to join us at the EU PVSEC Industry Summit 2023 and exhibit with us to further promote PV manufacturing, and also to put your company and your services in the spotlight on an international stage.

The Industry Summit provides a forum for the exchange and discussion of industry topics, connecting policy makers and key players along all stages of the value chain, which combined with the business-to-business exhibition, constitutes a key place to be in 2023 for the worldwide PV industry agents.
 

Be part of this global gathering and give your company a stage.

With an impressive number of 25 sponsors, the 2022 conference was supported by private companies and research institutions alike. The high level of interest and investment in the event reflects the importance of the EU PVSEC and its relevance to the global PV solar sector.

We are pleased to inform you, that the Conference Proceedings of the 8th World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion will be available by the end of this week.

The Conference Proceedings reflect the current status of science and technology of Photovoltaic solar energy and its potential for the future.

The Conference Proceedings have a free access policy and can soon be found to download on the WCPEC-8 and the EU PVSEC website.
