Kicking off the 1st Indoor Photovoltaics Conference (IPVC-1)
Indoor photovoltaics (IPVs) hold significant potential for revolutionizing energy generation and re-use, powering electronic devices, and contributing to the green energy transition and sustainable development. New IPV technologies capable of efficiently harvesting low-intensity artificial light have recently entered the market or are emerging from R&D labs. These next-generation technologies, including organic, perovskite, and dye-sensitized photovoltaics, promise to lower the thermal budget required for processing, offer greater design flexibility, and significantly reduce production costs.
Currently, research on indoor photovoltaics is thriving internationally. Therefore, this is the perfect time to organize a conference that unites the growing global community of academics and industry professionals working in this field. This includes a wide range of areas, from material development to system integration, setting the requirements for indoor photovoltaic applications.
IPVC-1 is the inaugural conference series on indoor photovoltaics. This event addresses the many aspects that need further consideration and development in this rapidly growing field. It serves as an ideal international platform for networking, building new collaborations, and staying informed about the latest advancements in indoor photovoltaic development. The conference program features invited talks from leading experts and institutions, covering all relevant aspects and technologies within indoor photovoltaics, such as material and device development, characterization, modeling, upscaling, integration, commercialization, standards, and best practices.
The conference will include both invited and contributed talks, a poster session, panel discussions, networking sessions, an exhibition, and a conference dinner, offering ample opportunities for attendees to engage, learn, and collaborate.
