• 1,300 specialist presentations on photovoltaics topics
• PV is the most important energy source in the future.
• System Integration will be the next big challenge for PV
Munich/Hamburg, 15.September 2015 – The 31st European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition (EU PVSEC 2015) opened its doors on Monday, 14 September 2015 and welcomes photovoltaics (PV) experts to the CCH Congress Center in Hamburg, Germany. The scientific conference takes place from 14 to 18 September 2015, with a three-day industry exhibition taking place in parallel from 15 September 2015. The EU PVSEC is regarded as the world’s leading platform for exchanges between the worlds of PV research and industry in the global PV solar industry sector. The EU PVSEC 2015 scientific conference started on Monday at 8.30 am with three keynote scientific papers on latest global developments on nanostructured solar cells. Highlights are announcements on the first hybrid device with 40% efficiency of Direct Sunlight and towards Ultra-High Efficient Photovoltaics based on Perovskite/crystalline Silicon Tandem Devices.
The following political opening ceremony is chaired by Conference General Chair Dr.-Ing. Stefan Rinck, CEO of SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES, Member of Main Executive Board VDMA and Chairman Committee for Research and Innovation, and Technical Programme. Dr. Rinck:” We need to take PV to the next level in terms of cost-effective, integrated electricity supply solutions. Evolutionary improvement in cell concepts like PERC (PERL/PERT), bifacial devices, n-type material, IBC and heterojunction cells as well as high efficiency thin films like CIGS will drive the future of solar systems further. Europe has cutting-edge R&D and we can leverage this with industry to achieve a significant future market share in PV pro
