As it is almost a tradition of the EUPVSEC, we would like to provide a preview on the plenary sessions of the WCPEC-8. The half-hour plenary presentations are an excellent opportunity to get briefed about major trends and developments in the technology and of the wide application of photovoltaics in general. Therefore, even if you are not specialist the specific topics, it is worthwhile to attend.
We will whet your appetite for the three plenaries in a sequence, today we describe what you can expect from the very first plenary of the 8th World conference on Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conversion in Milan.

We start today with the very first of many sessions of this big conference: On Monday, 26th September, 2022, at 8:30 there will be the plenary 3AP.1 titled Reliable and High-Performance PV Modules. The title reflects already today’s trends and emphasis in PV Module development for a global Tera-watt market, and there will be a presentation for each of the trends, and a final one on the modelling of the electrical performance of modules.
As the majority of PV Modules today are produced in China, we are particularly proud to have with Yifeng Chen a very renowned first plenary speaker at the conference. As Vice-Director at Trina Solar in Changzhou,China, he is Group Leader of High Efficiency Solar Cells R&D, and his presentation 3AP.1.1  is titled “Investigation of Technology Evolution of PV Industry: Learning from Historical and Recent Progress”.It promises an excellent overview about the history and future of solar cell development not only from the perspective of a major manufacturer in China, but also from his co-authors of UNSW Sydney and AMROCK, Australia. The presentation will not only give details on current efficiencies of the Trinasolar’s PERC technology, but postulates a new, 50% increased wafer size for the future generation of cells. He will claim that by fitting historical data the major improvements in PERC technology will come from efficiency improvements. Also, he will detail future equipment costs and how they influence the learning curve, also considering current difficulties in the supply chain.

The next presentation 3AP.1.2 at 9:00 will be given by Peter Hacke the from NREL, USA and is titled “Evaluation of Bifacial Module Technologies with Combined-Accelerated Stress Testing (C-AST)”….

We would like to thank the WCPEC-8 Organising Committee for their dedication and commitment to making the 8th edition of the World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion in Milan a memorable and successful event. 

Thanks to their effort, WCPEC-8 is able to offer a multitude of additional panel discussions and side events, the PV community can benefit from. 

We look forward to enjoying this exceptional event with you in person in September.

We are pleased to announce that 20 student award finalists have been selected for the upcoming 8th World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion. They stand out due to their excellent submissions for the WCPEC-8. The aim of the student awards is to encourage high-quality work amongst young researchers and to recognise the most remarkable and outstanding research work in the field of PV.

Is your company active in the field of solar energy and photovoltaics? Then WCPEC-8 is the right place to promote your brand and services. As a sponsor of the event, you can benefit from exclusive advantages and promote your brand among hundreds of different companies from research and industry. 

WCPEC-8 offers a variety of sponsoring options from fixed packages to individual items and custom-made bundles.
