 Sneak Peek: Monday PlenaryWelcome
to our preview of the EU PVSEC plenary talks, which have been for
decades a brand feature of our conference as a central occasion where
all attendees meet and listen to a subject of interest to all
specialists of the conference topics. We make use of our best auditorium
to provide you with enough legroom, avoid the parallel sessions of the
programme, but most of all, selected topics, themes, discoveries and
developments pushed to its limits.
As
is tradition, we reserve time for the plenary sessions on Monday,
Wednesday and Friday, addressing the 5 main topics of the conference:
- PV Everywhere (Monday 08:30)
- Si PV Manufacturing: Pushing the Limits of Performance (Wednesday 08:30)
- Perovskite – Silicon Tandems: Towards Commercialization (Wednesday 10:30)
- PV Stability in the Field (Wednesday 11:30)
- Flexibility and Sustainability (Friday 10:30)
Today we well start our “Sneak Preview” with the Plenary on Monday 22
September. This is the very first event of the EU PVSEC conference week,
and we would certainly like to see everyone there at this early time of
the day.
The theme “PV Everywhere”
points to our commitment to PV Technology: never before have
applications been so rich and yet affordable, encouraging innovative
ideas across the globe.
We start Monday morning with a plenary talk about requirements when PV will really be everywhere. Uwe Rau of Jülich Aachen Research Alliance in Germany, will give us an Outlook Into PV Growth Beyond Grid Flexibility via Integration with Storage and Fuels. This talk is nothing less than imagining PV as a main power source in a highly…
