Share

The international Scientific Committee, made up of more than 200 leading experts from the global PV community, reviewed and scored the record number of 1,843 abstracts, applying for presentation, to compose the programme of the world’s leading Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference. Under the guidance of Conference General Chairman Dr. Stefan Nowak, Chairman of IEA PVPS, International Energy Agency, Photovoltaic Power Systems Programme, and coordinated by the Technical Programme Chairman Dr. Arnulf Jäger-Waldau, European Commission, DG Joint Research Centre, the Conference Programme was finalized, featuring 86 Conference Sessions with 333 Keynote, Plenary, Oral and more than 1,300 Visual Presentations.

Dr. Stefan Nowak states: “The European and the world photovoltaic community will meet, discuss and debate about the most recent scientific progresses, technological successes, industrial developments, cost reductions, financial and policy issues, and market deployment results.”

The Conference Programme of the 27th EU PVSEC covers the entire scope of the PV solar sector and is structured along the following main topics:

• Material Studies, New Concepts and Ultra-High Efficiency

• Wafer-Based Silicon Solar Cells and Materials Technology

• Thin Film Solar Cells

• Components for PV Systems

• PV Systems

• PV – a Major Electricity Source

Dr. Arnulf Jäger-Waldau: “The Programme offers overviews of the latest research findings, industrial progress and political landscape through Keynote and Plenary Presentations, and it provides specialised thematic sessions as well, were details are presented in a more focused and technical manner.”

Dr. Nowak concludes: “The unique feature of this conference is the fact that it represents a “melting pot” where all the “hot” subjects around photovoltaic technology are being addressed.”

This comprehensive Conference Programme is complemented by a number of additional Parallel Events that offer a deep insight into specific topics and include the most recent scientific, technology, market and business trends. Detailed information on EU PVSEC Parallel Events will be published shortly.

Background EU PVSEC

For many years, the European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition has combined a renowned international scientific conference with a leading PV industry exhibition and trade fair. Every year, during 5 conference and 4 trade fair days, new products and technical innovations from all areas of photovoltaics and from all over the world are on show.

The EU PVSEC is supported by European and international organisations such as the European Commission, UNESCO – United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation, Natural Sciences Sector, WCRE – World Council for Renewable Energy, IPVEA – the International Photovoltaic Equipment Association, EPIA – the European Photovoltaic Industry Association. The Technical Programme is coordinated by the European Commission, DG Joint Research Centre.
