Session 02: PHOTOVOLTAICS
Note: We assume all delegates attend the full 3-day conference. The times/dates shown on the website are tentative for conference scheduling, and subject to change before 20th July 2015, Final schedule will be confirmed on 21st July 2015.
Photovoltaic (PV) systems are under intense investigation with the aim of complementing, and perhaps in the future, displacing traditional energy sources such as fossil fuel. To fully realize the potential of PV, significant challenges must be overcome through new materials and device architecture development. The aim of this session is to bring together scientists and engineers working to extend the performance and applicability of organic, inorganic and hybrid PV systems.
