34th IEEE Photovoltaic Specialists Conference
United States, Philadelphia
June 12, 2009 - June 7, 2009
Overview
Venue: Philadelphia Marriott
Historically,
the mission of the Photovoltaic Specialists Conference has been to
present groundbreaking research papers on all aspects of PV-relevant
materials, devices, systems and applications. We once again expect to
present a very strong Technical Program that will encompass nine
programmatic areas covering topics from novel materials and devices,
thin-film cells made from CIGS and CdTe and emerging semiconductors,
crystalline and amorphous silicon, III-V cells, concentrator devices
and systems, and module and system experience including reliability
studies.
The Technical Program will be complemented by
six tutorials to be presented on Sunday, June 7. These tutorials will
be taught by experts in their fields and will be valuable to newcomers
to photovoltaics, as well as to seasoned veterans who wish to learn
about recent trends. We also expect that the conference Exhibition will
be substantially larger than in recent years because of the greatly
increased level of interest in photovoltaics in the USA.
We are planning a more vigorous Auxiliary Program, to include daily
meetings, seminars, and panel discussions in topics beyond the scope of
the Technical Program. We hope that this Auxiliary Program will attract
many people to the conference who may not normally attend the Technical
Program.
We expect that the increased interest in the field of photovoltaics
will lead to greatly increased attendance. The hotel will maintain our
group rate and room block for a limited time—so we urge you to register
for the meeting, as well as to make your hotel reservation, well ahead
of the deadline.
