A monumental event
after 2 years of online meetings
The 8th World Conference on
Photovoltaic Energy Conversion in Milan was a great success, welcoming more
than 1500
participants from 60 countries and covering over 1100 presentations,
consisting of Scientific Sessions, engaging Panel Discussions, in-depth
Parallel Events and market related Industry Presentations. More
participants are joining daily as the content is still available online for
three months. The halls of MiCo were bursting with positive energy and
optimism and a growing exhibition attracted PV professionals to exchange
with industry companies and research institutions alike.
We want to take the chance to thank the global PV community for joining us
in Milan after two years of online events, for the crowded conference
rooms, the busy exhibition, the lively discussions and plenty of
networking. Thank you to all speakers, chairpersons, exhibitors, partners
and attendees for your hard work, your loyalty and your support!

Highlights of the
WCPEC-8
A global and full-scale PV deployment
needs collaboration. This is the main take-away that was mentioned several
times at this year’s WCPEC-8. It can be observed that many regions are
showing a great deal of ambition to expand PV production, but only through
a joint effort can the global energy crisis be overcome. As PV is becoming
a key pillar of energy production it also means that disturbances (such as
faults) play an increasingly important role. Therefore, it is important to
understand these mechanisms.
Another important outcome that was mentioned, is that PV research is doing
a great job. High efficiencies are being reached, advances are made in the
substitution of silver in the solar cells, reduction of costs race remains
active and focus in placed on the decrease of use of hazardous materials,
just to mention a few examples. But it is key to bring those findings to
the right authorities, to inform the general public more and to involve
material scientists, chemists and key-players from social and political
science.
In addition to the scientific conference programme, a multitude of
horizontal topics were presented and discussed in the Industry Summit and the
Parallel Events.

Student Awards
Winners
As is the case every year, the most
remarkable and outstanding research work in the field of PV amongst young
researchers is rewarded with the Student Award. This
year, 7 students were honoured for their high-quality work and presentation
at the WPCEC-8.
“Solar photovoltaics is a key driver
for the transition to a sustainable energy future. The entire research
community underpins this activity which begins with the next generation of
scientists and innovators. We applaud the ingenuity of this year’s Student
Awards candidates, and we offer our congratulations to the winners.”
Dr. Chris Case, Chief Technology Officer of Oxford PV, Sponsor of the
WCPEC-8 Student Awards
We congratulate all winners and want to encourage young researchers all
around the globe to continue the good and hard work. You are the future of
the renewable energy transition and we hope to see you all at the EU PVSEC
2023 presenting your latest research findings!

Poster Award
Winners
The poster sessions are an equally
important part of the conference programme, and we were pleased to have the
presentations in physical form again this year. As is tradition, the best
posters have been selected and acknowledged in the closing session of the
conference.
We warmly congratulate all 17 winners of the WPCEC-8 poster awards.

Online platform
open for 3 months
Too many presentations and not enough
time to follow them all? Don’t worry, almost the entire content, including
scientific Conference Sessions and Parallel Events will be available
for streaming for 3 months after the event.
The private chat will stay open so you can get in touch with fellow
participants via the platform.
Sit back, take your time and enjoy the comprehensive knowledge the WPCEC-8
has to offer at your own pace.
Access to the Online Platform is included in all regular on-site tickets
(on day(s) registered) as well as with the online ticket.
If you were not able to join us in Milan, you still have the chance to get
access to all presentations by purchasing the Online Ticket.
Be fast, there is plenty of content to watch!
