CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE 

CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE 

On behalf of the Program, Organizing, Cherry and 

International Committees, it is my great pleasure to 

welcome you to the 37th IEEE Photovoltaic Specialists 

Conference (PVSC). This PVSC is particularly special 

as we are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the 

first PVSC, held in 1961 in Washington DC. Over 

the years, the PVSC has transformed from a small 

conference focused solely on the space application 

of photovoltaics into a major conference covering 

every aspect of solar cell research, development, 

manufacture and implementation. Our continuing 

goal is to be the preeminent photovoltaic technical 

conference in the World. 

This year, we set a new PVSC conference record, with 

over 1,000 presentations scheduled to be presented. 

Remarkable progress is being made in virtually every 

solar cell material system and technical area, owing to 

the intense interest in photovoltaics and the critical role 

photovoltaics promises to play in our renewable energy 

future. The outstanding work and exciting results that 

will be presented at this PVSC are truly a testament to 

the talent and vitality resident within our Photovoltaic 

Specialists community. 

As a sign of that vitality, IEEE/EDS, the PVSC’s 

technical sponsoring organization, has just launched 

the IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics (JPV). The PVSC 

and JPV are working together to identify high quality 

PVSC presentations which will be offered a streamlined 

process for that work to be included in the JPV. This is 

yet another reason to bring your best research results 

to the PVSC! 


In addition to the outstanding technical program, we 

have assembled an excellent cadre of commercial 

partners for our exhibits area. Our goal has been to 

gather companies that provide the materials and tools 

of photovoltaic innovation. Based on the successes 

of last year, this new exhibition direction is greatly 

benefitting our attendees as well as the exhibitors. 

Seattle and the surrounding areas offer a truly 

remarkable variety of cultural, epicurean and natural 

wonder distractions. While you are in the area, be 

certain to take advantage of the organized as well as 

self directed tour opportunities we have available. 

Finally, I have to say that it has been one of my life’s great 

pleasures and high honor to work with the incredibly 

dedicated and talented folks on the Organizing and 

Program committees. This all-volunteer staff has 

given of themselves because of the commitment they 

feel toward this technology and their co-workers. Our 

community and I owe them a debt of gratitude for the 

selfless nature of their efforts. The PVSC… 50 Years 

of Bringing Knowledge to Light! Now let’s go save the 

World!!!!!

THIS YEAR THE WILLIAM R. CHERRY AWARD 

WILL BE PRESENTED TO: 

DR. JERRY M. OLSON 

Jerry M. Olson is currently a Principal Scientist at 

the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) 

in Golden, Colorado. He received his PhD in physics 

from the University of Utah in 1977 and spent a year 

as a post doc at the Materials Research Center, 

Northwestern University. He then moved to the Solar 

Energy Research Institute (now NREL) in 1978. 

From 1978 to 1983 he was the leader of the Silicon 

Materials Group where he invented several efficient, 

low-cost processes for purifying metallurgical-grade 

Si. Recently a Si solar cell company has implemented 

a large-scale version of one of those processes. 

In 1983 he became the leader of the III-V Materials 

and Devices Group and in 1984 invented the GaInP/ 

GaAs tandem solar cell. The further development and 

refinement of this solar cell was the main project for 

the NREL III-V team for the next 20 years. During 

that time, the team patented several other single and 

multijunction solar cells, transferred the technology 

to industry, set several world record efficiencies, 

and garnered numerous awards, including two R&D 

100 Awards in 1990 and 2001, a Federal Laboratory 

Consortium Award for Technology Transfer in 1997, the 

IEEE Electrotechnology Transfer Award in 1998 and 

the Dan David Prize in 2007. Devices based on the 

original GaInP/GaAs solar cell are now being produced 

by numerous companies around the world for space 

power and terrestrial concentrator photovoltaic 

systems.

MONDAY, JUNE 20TH 

SEATTLE CITY HIGHLIGHTS TOUR 

8:30 AM - 1:00 PM 

We will meet in the Sheraton Lobby at 8:30 AM to walk to 

the busses. The busses will leave promptly at 9:00 AM. 

Lunch is not provided. Please eat lunch after the tour. 

Sit back in a comfortable motor coach as a friendly, 

expert Seattleite guides you through the city’s must-see 

attractions, famous landmarks and beautiful sights. Learn 

about Seattle’s history and culture, and get insider tips on 

special shopping and sightseeing areas. 

The tour begins with a drive by Seattle’s waterfront

residential area and now a major visitor attraction with 

restaurants, galleries and lively clubs. Alongside Seattle’s 

bustling Elliott Bay waterfront, view the exciting maritime 

activities, piers, ferry docks, souvenir shops, restaurants, 

boat cruises, the Seattle Aquarium and other Puget Sound 

attractions. 

The Hiram M. Chittenden Locks, commonly called the 

Ballard Locks, are a must-see for every Seattle visitor. 

Watch as the locks guide boats between the saltwater of 

the Puget Sound and the fresh water of the Ship Canal 

connecting to Lake Union and Lake Washington. In 

addition to the botanical garden, a highlight of this stop 

is the fish ladder, built to allow salmon to pass between 

fresh and saltwater. Glass panels make it possible to view 

the fish as they navigate their way through the ladder, 

adjusting to different levels of salt each step of the way. 

The final stop is Pike Place Market, a celebrated treasure 

among locals and tourists alike. Known for its exciting 

sights, sounds and aromas (not to mention those crazy 

fish throwers), Pike Place Market began on August 17, 

1907 and has remained a vital part of Seattle’s social and 

economic fabric for over 100 years. A variety of farmers, 

merchants, vendors, cafés, restaurants, and even the 

original Starbucks call this nine-acre historic district home. 

There will be time to shop and explore this fascinating 

area, and easy-to-read maps will be provided for those 

who wish to linger on their own. 

Cost: 

$55.00 per adult guest

William Edward Boeing founded one of the greatest 

dynasties in commercial aviation. The Boeing Company 

has transformed the Pacific Northwest into a major 

aeronautical hub. Soar into the new world of commercial 

aviation by exploring Boeing’s newest, high-tech facility, 

the Future of Flight Aviation Center. This 73,000 square 

foot center in Everett is a unique, interpretive facility 

designed to showcase the phenomenon of commercial 

jet aviation and production. Featuring hands-on exhibits, 

videos, graphics, and interactive stations, guests will 

have the opportunity to digitally design their own jet, 

try out the next generation of in-flight entertainment 

systems, touch the high-tech “skin” of the new Boeing 

787, and learn how technology and aviation can serve 

to connect people and cultures across the globe. 

Following the Future of Flight Aviation Center, you will 

be transferred to the Boeing Assembly Plant. In 1966, 

The Boeing Company announced that it would build the 

747, a jetliner capable of carrying nearly twice as many 

passengers as previous models. To build the giant 

jet, Boeing had to construct a facility large enough to 

handle the world’s largest commercial jetliner. The main 

assembly building, which the Guinness Book of World 

Records acknowledges as the largest building in the 

world by volume, is as large as 75 NFL football fields. 

This fascinating tour offers an in-depth view into the 

many facets of the airplane industry and guests will see 

airplanes including the new 777 and 787 Dreamliner in 

various stages of assembly. 

For security reasons, no photographic equipment, cell 

phones, backpacks, purses, or carry-on items of any 

kind are allowed on the Boeing Assembly Plant tour.

Lunch is not provided. Please eat lunch before the tour. 

In an intimate, relaxed setting, tour two of Washington’s 

most notable wineries: Novelty Hill | Januik and Chateau 

Ste. Michelle in Woodinville. Nestled in the Sammamish 

River Valley, Woodinville is a small community that has 

become a haven for fine winemakers. With the perfect 

climate for wine, ideal growing conditions, quality wines, 

business innovation and social responsibility, Washington 

State is a premium wine producing region. Although a 

relatively young wine industry, it is now the nation’s 

second largest wine producer and is ranked among the 

world’s top wine regions. 

Uniting innovation with tradition, Novelty Hill and familyowned 

Januik are two independent wineries that share 

a tasting room and production facility. The building’s 

contemporary design and surrounding landscape 

celebrate wine’s agrarian roots and the artistry of 

fine winemaking. Sample wines from distinguished 

winemaker Mike Januik, recently named one of the 

world’s 10 “Masters of Merlot” by Wine Enthusiast 

magazine. He has had numerous wines appear on Wine 

Spectator’s prestigious “Top 100” list, including the 2003 

Novelty Hill Cabernet Sauvignon. Before starting his own 

winery in 1999, Januik was head winemaker at Chateau 

Ste. Michelle for 10 years and has been producing wine 

in the Columbia Valley since 1984. Washington State’s 

oldest and most acclaimed winery offers award-winning 

wines and a tasting experience second to none. Chateau 

Ste. Michelle, located on 87 acres of historic, chateau and 

arboretum-like grounds, combines an ongoing dedication 

to research with a commitment to classic winemaking 

traditions. Winemaker Bob Bertheau crafts Washington 

wines that are expressions of the best vineyards in 

the state. Known for its highly-acclaimed Chardonnay, 

Riesling, Merlot and Cabernet, Chateau Ste. Michelle 

receives some of the highest accolades in the industry, 

including “American Winery of the Year 2004” from Wine 

Enthusiast magazine and “2005 Winery of the Year” by 

Restaurant Wine magazine. After viewing the art and 

science of wine-making and tasting exceptional wines, 

visit the Chateau Ste. Michelle’s extensive wine and 

accessory shop before returning to Seattle. 

While children are welcome to attend, please note that it 

is not the best tour for younger kids as the gift shop has 

a large quantity of fragile items and the kids do not have 

anything to do during the tasting. The outdoors are great 

if the parents want to walk around and hang outside. 

Cost:

SOLAR DAY/HIGH SCHOOL 

PHOTOVOLTAIC DESIGN 

COMPETITION 

Sunday, June 19, marks the combination of something 

new and something longstanding. What’s new is the 

PVSC’s first-ever Solar Day event, which is free and 

open to the public. Participants can learn solar energy 

basics from solar experts, including local solar energy 

authorities. 

Local installers will be there to answer questions 

and introduce you to options when going solar. The 

event includes a combination of tabletop booths and 

speakers to help the public improve their solar literacy. 

There will be speakers from the following 

organizations: 

- National Renewable Energy Laboratory 

- Pioneer Renewables/Rainer Renewable Energy 

- Sunergy Systems 

- University of Washington 

- Community Energy Solutions 

- Winter Sun Design 

- Solar Washington 

- Nexcis 

- Seattle City Light 

- West Seattle Natural Energy 

Solar Day is combined with our longstanding High 

School Photovoltaic Design Competition, where 

students are asked to work on their projects under 

the supervision of a faculty member and display 

their projects at the Conference in June, 2011. All 

of the displays will be visible during the Solar Day 

on Sunday and some will be on display during the 

conference. The design projects must demonstrate 

the use of photovoltaics in a practical application, 

using only photovoltaics as the power source for the 

project. Awards will be made for the top achievements, 

Tuesday evening before the Cherry Reception. The 

following local schools are competing:

the conference committee. The posters will be reviewed 

in three stages: 

1. Prior to the conference: poster session chairs will 

review the submitted abstracts for technical content and 

to better familiarize themselves with the poster content. 

2. After the posters are hung: poster session chairs will 

select their top 3-4 posters as finalist for best poster; 

a star will be placed on the poster to indicate that they 

have been selected. 

3. During the poster session: the session chairs will 

interact with the finalists and listen to the poster 

presenters’ summary of their work. 

The poster session chairs will judge the posters based 

on Clarity of Presentation, Technical Merit, Impact, and 

Oral Presentation, which are described in more detail 

on the conference website: http://www.ieee-pvsc.org/ 

PVSC37/technical-program/poster-presenters.html. A 

best poster will be selected from every Poster Session. 

A personalized plaque will be awarded to the primary 

author of each winning poster during the final 15 minutes 

of their respective poster sessions. 


TUTORIAL PROGRAM 

AM TUTORIALS (8:30 AM – 12:00 PM) 

AM1. Photovoltaics 101/201 

Instructor - Dr. Jim Sites (Colorado State University) 

Synopsis - An introductory tutorial on photovoltaics will 

begin with the basic principles of semiconductor physics 

and show how they lead to the semiconductor junction 

and the solar cell. Major focus will be given to the origin 

of a solar cell’s current-voltage curve, how to optimize 

the cell’s performance, and how to separate and quantify 

the cell’s losses. The course is designed for those with 

a background in physics, chemistry, or engineering, but 

does not require prior experience with semiconductor 

devices. 

AM2. Silicon Solar Cell Technology 

Instructor - Dr. Bill Mulligan (Sunpower Corp) 

Synopsis - This tutorial will look at various aspects of 

crystalline silicon technologies, from the silicon feedstock, 

through crystallization, sawing, and solar cell production. 

The interactions between the various stages from 

feedstock through the cell manufacturing process will be 

discussed. An emphasis will be placed on device physics 

as well as test and measurement strategies that are used 

to optimize the cell design and process optimization. Si 

solar systems will also be addressed. 

AM3. High efficiency Multi-junction Cell Technology 

Instructors - Dr. Vijit Sabnis (Solar Junction) and 

Dr. Geoff Kinsey (Amonix) 

Synopsis - This tutorial will cover the physics of highefficiency 

multijunction solar cells and provide a summary 

of state-of-the-art technological approaches. The principles 

of multijunction solar cell operation and design tradeoffs 

for integration into high-concentration CPV systems will 

be discussed along with an overview of cell manufacturing 

and performance testing. A survey of technologies under 

development for achieving cell efficiencies exceeding 

40% will be presented. There will also be an overview 

of the state-of-the-art and future prospects for highconcentration 

CPV systems. The design considerations 

that lead to a given system configuration will be 

outlined, including choice of concentration level, system 

size, refractive vs. reflective optical elements, thermal 

management tradeoffs, and system lifetime. A survey of 

deployed system designs will be presented, as well as 

analysis of field data of solar power plants deployed by 

Amonix to date. 


53 

TUTORIAL PROGRAM

54 


AM4. PV System Installation, Grid Integration, 

Permitting, etc. 

Instructor - Bill Brooks PE (Brooks Engineering LLC.) 

Over 5,000 installers and 5,000 inspectors have taken Mr. 

Brooks’ classes. 

Synopsis - This workshop will help the audience better 

understand the requirements for designing, permitting, 

installing, and interconnecting PV systems in utilityconnected 

applications. The workshop is designed for 

designers, engineers, architects, inspectors, and PV 

installers who wish to stay informed of the latest design 

and code compliance issues that facilitate safe and longlasting 

PV systems. Participants will be provided with an 

overview of the codes and standards that govern smallscale 

solar electrical generation. Primary focus is on 

the National Electrical Code (NEC), with a permit and 

inspection guideline provided to organize the permitting 

process. 

AM5. Rating PV Power and Energy: Cell, Module, and 

System Measurements 

Instructor - Keith Emery (National Renewable Energy 

Laboratory) 

Synopsis - The tutorial will cover the state-of-the-art in 

theory, standards, procedures, and hardware used to 

determine the power and energy of PV cells, modules, 

and systems. The measurement theory for evaluating 

the PV power for flat-plate or concentrating single- or 

multijunction PV is discussed. Applicable ASTM, IEC and 

ISO standards are described along with a discussion on the 

plethora of sources of uncertainty in the measurements. 

Merits and limitations are described of the standards and 

current practices in predicting the delivered PV power. 


PM TUTORIALS (1:30 PM – 5:00 PM) 

PM1. Thin Film Solar Cells 

Instructors - Dr. Bulent Basol (EncoreSolar) and Alan 

Goodrich (National Renewable Energy Laboratory) 

Synopsis - The tutorial will provide a background of 

the present state of thin-film photovoltaic (PV) solar 

cell technologies, manufacturing costs, and market 

opportunities. The technologies discussed will be those 

in present world-wide production, focusing on amorphous 

Silicon (a-Si), Copper Indium Gallium Diselenide (CIGS), 

and Cadmium Telluride (CdTe). For each technology, 

discussion will include historical development, present 

advantages and limitations, and possible future directions 

for improved devices and costs. A very condensed 

discussion of PV device physics will be provided to 

establish an appreciation of material parameters that are 

important to related device operation. The tutorial will 

also discuss advancements in related technologies that 

may be critical for accelerating deployment of thin-film PV 

products. 

PM2. Organic Solar Cells: Principles and Cell Design 

Instructor - Dr. Sean Shaheen (University of Denver) 

Synopsis - The field of Organic Photovoltaics (OPV) 

has grown in the last several decades from being a 

laboratory novelty, with unique and interesting science 

but little commercial relevance, to the point now of niche 

consumer products entering the market. Steady growth 

in the last few years has resulted in certified AM1.5 

efficiencies exceeding 8% at multiple laboratories around 

the world. This course will aim to bridge the knowledge 

and vocabulary gap between the inorganic and organic 

PV communities. No prior knowledge of organic chemistry 

is required. The current state of OPV will be reviewed, 

including materials design and development, mechanisms 

of device physics, and recent findings on charge 

generation, recombination, and transport. Basic models 

for the operation of the devices and pathways to higher 

efficiencies will be analyzed. Progress in understanding 

and mitigating material and device degradation pathways 

will be discussed, as will processing methods and issues 

for high throughput manufacturing. Lastly, the course will 

address attempts at economic analysis of large-scale 

OPV manufacturing.

PM3. Reliability: From PV Cell to Module to System 

Instructor - Dr. John Wohlgemuth (National Renewable 

Energy Laboratory) 

Synopsis - As the size and complexity of PV projects 

grow, device, subcomponent, module, and overall 

system reliability have become some of the primary 

considerations for assessing their economic and technical 

viability. This tutorial will provide a historical perspective 

on PV reliability across a variety of technologies and 

applications (cSi, Thin Film, Multi-junction, CPV, Space, 

Terrestrial, etc.) followed by in-depth discussions of device 

physics, known and theoretical failure mechanisms, failure 

analysis techniques (LIV, DIV, EL, EBIC, TIVA, STEM, 

etc.), lifetime measurement and prediction models and 

methods (HALT, HAST, TC, DH, CE, Arrhenius, Weibull, 

etc.), and industry standards for product qualification (UL, 

IEC, Mil STD, AIAA, etc.). 

PM4. Future Generation Technologies 

Instructor - Dr. Ned Ekins-Daukes (Imperial College 

London, U.K.) 

Synopsis - Conventional photovoltaic devices are 

nearing their fundamental limits in terms of efficiency. This 

tutorial will explore the foundations for future photovoltaic 

technologies that potentially lead to fundamentally higher 

efficiency photovoltaic power conversion. In the short 

term, the multijunction approach represents the oldest 

and most established technology in this area and the 

current workhorse for space photovoltaic systems and 

increasingly terrestrial concentrator power plants. In the 

medium term, concepts such as up and down conversion 

may enable present photovoltaic technologies to be 

enhanced. In the long term, completely new photovoltaic 

materials are being developed to support ambitious, but 

very high efficiency concepts such as the intermediate 

band solar cell and the hot carrier solar cell. The present 

status of the research and development of these future 

generation technologies will be reviewed, highlighting the 

outstanding challenges that remain to be addressed. 

PM5. Writing a Winning Technology Proposal 

Instructors - Dr. James Rand and Dr. Ed Witt 

Synopsis - Two veterans from the PV community will 

review the key elements needed for a winning proposal 

in Solar. Topics addressed include: how to present your 

company, its people, its capabilities, and its idea, what to 

include in your proposal, how to determine the right level 

of detail, how to choose your partners, and which letters 

of support are the most meaningful. The content should 

be relevant for anyone writing proposals, whether they are 

start-ups, mature companies, or academia. Time will be 

allocated for questions and answers. Although the focus 

will be on photovoltaics, the general principles will apply 

to solar-based projects and more. The majority of the 

speakers’ experiences are drawn from working with the 

Department of Energy. 


TECHNICAL PROGRAM 

On behalf of the entire 

Program Committee of 

the 37th IEEE PVSC, it is 

my pleasure to welcome 

you to Seattle! Thanks to 

the extraordinary quality 

of abstracts and papers 

provided by many who 

are reading this letter, our 

committee has been able 

to create a terrific technical 

program that includes 

new world records, critical 

science and technology 

breakthroughs and many 

high impact contributions 

in practically every branch of photovoltaics science 

and technology. Enthusiasm for photovoltaics 

continues its trend to set records every year, and in 

2011 we received more than 1150 abstracts from 49 

countries, the most for any PVSC to date. Thank you 

to all authors and attendees of the conference, for your 

commitment to advancing the science, technology and 

commercialization of photovoltaics. 

Photovoltaic technologies have become increasingly 

central in defining our planet’s solutions with respect 

to its energy resources, energy management and 

energy security. As a result, new opportunities for 

both established and emergent PV technologies 

are constantly appearing, which span from research 

and development to commercialization and fullscale 

deployment. The resulting exponential rise 

in photovoltaic production and demand that has 

been occurring for more than a decade is a global 

phenomenon. Hence, science and technology 

developments in PV over the next several years, and 

their influence on the economics of PV installations, are 

likely to establish which energy technologies become 

dominant for decades to come. The chance to share 

and discuss these crucial PV developments in a timely 

and influential forum is what the PVSC is all about. 

The technical sessions are organized into 10 major 

areas: 

Area 1: Fundamentals and New Concepts for 

Future Technologies 

Chair: Alex Freundlich, University of Houston, USA 

International Co-Chairs: Stephen Bremner (University 

of New South Wales, Australia), Jean Francois

International Co-Chairs: Izumi Kaizuka (RTS 

Corporation, Japan) and Carol Tombari (National 

Renewable Energy Laboratory, USA) 

As noted above, we have continued the system of 

having international Co-Chairs for each technical 

area, to further foster international participation and 

collaboration at the PVSC. With submissions from 49 

countries and just over half being from outside of North 

America, the 37th PVSC has truly become a global 

conference. Particularly strong participation outside 

of the U.S. is from Japan, Taiwan, South Korea and 

Germany, with a notably large increase in participation 

from India, Spain and China. The role of international 

co-chairs has been critical to this success. 

The program kicks off on Sunday, June 19, 2011 with 

a series of highly informative tutorials, taught by some 

of the top experts in their fields, on a wide range of PV 

topics. Those just coming into the field of photovoltaics 

as well as seasoned PV researchers can benefit from 

these excellent seminars. The tutorial sessions have 

been extremely popular and with this year’s lineup we 

anticipate a very strong turnout. 

Monday morning will feature our Keynote and 

Conference Plenary speakers, with talks of high 

interest and relevance to all at the conference, cutting 

across all technical areas. On Monday, Tuesday, and 

Wednesday mornings starting at 8:30 AM, we will 

have the Area Plenary talks in technical Areas 1-9. 

These talks will highlight particularly exciting results in 

each Area, and should be very interesting to anyone 

curious about PV fields outside their immediate area 

of expertise. Close to 300 oral presentations are 

scheduled Monday through Friday noon, generally 

organized into sessions in 6 parallel time slots running 

throughout most of the week. Many of the parallel 

oral sessions throughout the week will begin with 30 

minute invited talks, allowing some of the most notable 

scientific and technical advances at the meeting to be 

shared in greater depth, and helping to set the theme of 

the session. Again, these talks are a good opportunity 

for researchers interested in learning more about 

areas of PV outside their own. Tuesday afternoon 

there will be a special workshop designed to expose 

attendees to the DOE’s SunShot Initiative along with 

opportunities to provide feedback. 

Poster presentations are a vital component of the 

PVSC-37, as has been the case in past conferences. 

With nearly 750 posters accepted for presentation

at the conference, the impromptu discussions and 

meaningful dialogue fostered by the poster format 

will be the dominant forum for scientific exchange at 

the conference. During poster sessions there will be 

no oral sessions taking place at the same time, to 

allow uninterrupted time for discussion with the poster 

presenters. The posters are available for viewing 

during the posted exhibit hours. 

Motivated by the rapid commercialization of PV 

technology, the PV Velocity Forum, Area 10, is a 

parallel program that takes place throughout the 

week. The Forum will provide a unique opportunity for 

regulators, policy makers, legislators, investors and 

PV-industry executives to interact with scientists and 

technologists, to tackle the issues associated with the 

surging photovoltaics industry. Invited speakers and 

panelists will explore gating factors for incorporating 

new PV technologies, with the goal of accelerating the 

adoption of photovoltaics to a level even greater than 

we have today. 

With the exciting news of the launch of the new IEEE 

Journal of Photovoltaics (J-PV) in 2011, I am very 

pleased to announce that the PVSC and J-PV are 

coordinating such that a select group of PVSC papers 

from across the conference will be included in an 

upcoming IEEE J-PV issue. All papers in the PVSC 

proceedings are searchable and accessible via the 

internet through the IEEE Xplore® system. To ensure 

IEEE Xplore®-compliant proceedings, please submit 

your manuscripts electronically through the website. 

Thank you for joining us in Seattle for the 37th IEEE 

PVSC. With your participation and interest, the 

PVSC has become the premier technical conference 

in photovoltaics in which solar cell researchers, 

technologists, entrepreneurs and policy makers can 

present, interact and learn about the latest advances 

in the science, engineering and applications of 

photovoltaics!

semiconductors. Materials science is the basis for the 

continuous improvements in the understanding and further 

development of these complex solar cell structures. We 

therefore call for papers on the materials science and 

technology in this field. This may include (but not be limited 

to) work on theoretical device modeling, epitaxy, solar 

cell processing, characterization, and system integration. 

While III-V multijunction solar cells are the basis for 

the growing terrestrial market of high concentration 

photovoltaics, lower concentration approaches using 

silicon solar cells are gaining attention. At this conference 

we are encouraging submission of papers in all fields 

related to the materials science and technology of Si 

and III-V concentrator solar cells, receivers and systems. 

Papers on the development of new concentrators 

including optics for high- as well as low-concentration are 

welcome. Manufacturing aspects, product reliability, and 

testing are important aspects to be discussed for both 

solar cells and concentrator systems. Further topics 

may focus on: tracker development, thermal hybrid 

systems, annual power rating, industry standards, CPV 

market development, cost reduction or ecological impact. 

Contributions may range from exploratory research 

through applied research, technology development, and 

engineering improvements.

Moritz Riede & Michael Barnes 

Description 

Organic, hybrid inorganic/organic, and dye-sensitized 

solar cells are rapidly advancing technologies that are 

beginning to demonstrate initial commercial viability. 

The flexibility to model and produce different donor/ 

acceptor combinations including both organic, small 

molecule and polymer as well as nanostructured, 

inorganic materials stimulate a large diversity of 

possible approaches to realize promise of efficient 

and highly stable devices. Many of the devices are 

excitonic in nature, necessitating new models and 

understanding of the critical interfaces in the bulk 

heterojunction and the contacts. This is more so since 

there are interfaces between very heterogeneous 

materials with different structural, thermal and 

chemical properties. The symposium will focus on the 

examination of many of the key areas evolving in this 

diverse approach to solar energy. This includes papers 

in a broad spectrum of areas but will focus on: the 

modeling synthesis and evaluation of new materials 

for the donor and acceptor in the bulk heterojunction 

developing high performance contacts for organic and 

excitonic based devices with the associated interfacial 

science, studies on the lifetime and mechanisms for 

degradation in OPV devices and new device concepts 

for OPV including QD composites, tandem cells and 

others.

especially devices capable of high efficiency or high 

specific power, including solar array designs. The 

scope includes III-V, thin-film, and novel solar cells. 

Also of interest are papers concerning space reliability, 

space environmental effects, and protective materials 

for the space environment. We welcome papers 

concerning characterization and qualification of space 

solar cells and papers concerning flight experiments 

and missions.

AREA 8: ADVANCES IN CHARACTERIzATION OF 

PHOTOVOLTAICS

Manuel Romero, National 

Renewable Energy Laboratory, 

USA 

Co-Chairs 

Daniel Abou-Ras 

Clemens Heske 

Sergio Molina 


8.1 Defects in Photovoltaic Materials and Solar Cells 

Clemens Heske 

8.2 Progress in Micro- and Nano-scale 

Measurements for Photovoltaic Applications 

Daniel Abou-Ras 

8.3 Next Generation of Instruments for the 

Characterization of Solar Cells 

Sergio Molina 

8.4 Characterization Methods for the Photovoltaic 

Industry: In-Situ Measurements, Process Control, 

Defect Monitoring. 

Steve Johnston 

8.5 Modules and Photovoltaic System Performance, 

Reliability Testing, and Standards 

John Wohlgemuth 

Description 

Area 8 presents work primarily focused on methods of 

characterization of photovoltaic materials and devices 

as opposed to focusing on the materials and devices 

characterized. Thus, papers submitted to this area 

could range from new scanning probe methods to 

determine semiconductor properties to methods to 

calibrate an accelerated lifetime testing apparatus. 

In-situ characterization methods and process control 

methods are appropriate to Area 8 because they are 

about implementing a method in a given environment. 

Papers describing the performance or properties of 

specific materials and devices, if focused primarily on 

those materials and devices should go to the areas 

concerned with the relevant technology. However, 

a paper describing the application of a technique to 

a material, focused primarily on demonstrating the 

capabilities of a technique, belong in Area 8. Thus, a 

paper describing cathodoluminescence (CL) of CuInSe2 

would belong in Area 2 if focused on the CIS but in Area 

8 if focused on how to conduct CL or the capabilities of 

a CL instrument. Exciting new work is being reported in 

this area ranging from novel methods of photoemission 

to advanced imaging and characterization methods for 

individual Si wafers through full modules. 



AREA 9: PV MODULES AND TERRESTRIAL

Peter Hacke 

9.3 Inverters, Batteries and other BOS Components 

Ward Bower 

9.4 Grid Connected Systems and Smart Grids 

Greg Ball 

9.5 Stand Alone Applications and PV Products 

Alain Garnier 

Description 

PV modules are a vital commodity in the market of PV 

systems. We encourage submissions in all subjects 

associated with PV module materials, durability and the 

performance of PV modules. Also, papers reporting on 

irradiance resources in relation to the energy yield (kWh/ 

kWp) of PV modules and PV systems are welcome. 

In particular, we are interested in testing protocols 

for site-dependent energy yields. Power conditioning 

equipment affects the reliability and efficiency of PV 

systems. Therefore, contributions describing technical 

issues and standardization of inverters and Balance-of- 

Systems (BOS) components are encouraged. Papers 

about design engineering, monitoring and control of 

very large scale grid-connected PV installations are 

welcome, as well as papers about incentives for, and 

experiences with residential grid-connected systems 

and building-integrated PV systems in the context of 

smart grids. The growing need for renewable electricity 

supply is advancing the development of stand-alone 

PV solutions and various innovative PV products for 

both grid-connected and autonomous applications. 

As such, we welcome contributions that explore the 

development of system integrated PV in the context of 

functionality, regulations and costs.
