CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE<br />

CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE<br />

On behalf of the Program, Organizing, Cherry and<br />

International Committees, it is my great pleasure to<br />

welcome you to the <strong>37th</strong> <strong>IEEE</strong> Photovoltaic Specialists<br />

Conference (PVSC). This PVSC is particularly special<br />

as we are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the<br />

first PVSC, held in 1961 in Washington DC. Over<br />

the years, the PVSC has transformed from a small<br />

conference focused solely on the space application<br />

of photovoltaics into a major conference covering<br />

every aspect of solar cell research, development,<br />

manufacture and implementation. Our continuing<br />

goal is to be the preeminent photovoltaic technical<br />

conference in the World.<br />

This year, we set a new PVSC conference record, with<br />

over 1,000 presentations scheduled to be presented.<br />

Remarkable progress is being made in virtually every<br />

solar cell material system and technical area, owing to<br />

the intense interest in photovoltaics and the critical role<br />

photovoltaics promises to play in our renewable energy<br />

future. The outstanding work and exciting results that<br />

will be presented at this PVSC are truly a testament to<br />

the talent and vitality resident within our Photovoltaic<br />

Specialists community.<br />

As a sign of that vitality, <strong>IEEE</strong>/EDS, the PVSC’s<br />

technical sponsoring organization, has just launched<br />

the <strong>IEEE</strong> Journal of Photovoltaics (JPV). The PVSC<br />

and JPV are working together to identify high quality<br />

PVSC presentations which will be offered a streamlined<br />

process for that work to be included in the JPV. This is<br />

yet another reason to bring your best research results<br />

to the PVSC!<br />

<strong>37th</strong> <strong>IEEE</strong> <strong>PHOTOVOLTAIC</strong> <strong>SPECIALISTS</strong> <strong>CONFERENCE</strong>


In addition to the outstanding technical program, we<br />

have assembled an excellent cadre of commercial<br />

partners for our exhibits area. Our goal has been to<br />

gather companies that provide the materials and tools<br />

of photovoltaic innovation. Based on the successes<br />

of last year, this new exhibition direction is greatly<br />

benefitting our attendees as well as the exhibitors.<br />

Seattle and the surrounding areas offer a truly<br />

remarkable variety of cultural, epicurean and natural<br />

wonder distractions. While you are in the area, be<br />

certain to take advantage of the organized as well as<br />

self directed tour opportunities we have available.<br />

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

pleasures and high honor to work with the incredibly<br />

dedicated and talented folks on the Organizing and<br />

Program committees. This all-volunteer staff has<br />

given of themselves because of the commitment they<br />

feel toward this technology and their co-workers. Our<br />

community and I owe them a debt of gratitude for the<br />

selfless nature of their efforts. The PVSC… 50 Years<br />

of Bringing Knowledge to Light! Now let’s go save the<br />

World!!!!!<br />

WILLIAM R. CHERRY AWARD<br />

THIS YEAR THE WILLIAM R. CHERRY AWARD<br />

WILL BE PRESENTED TO:<br />

DR. JERRY M. OLSON<br />

Jerry M. Olson is currently a Principal Scientist at<br />

the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)<br />

in Golden, Colorado. He received his PhD in physics<br />

from the University of Utah in 1977 and spent a year<br />

as a post doc at the Materials Research Center,<br />

Northwestern University. He then moved to the Solar<br />

Energy Research Institute (now NREL) in 1978.<br />

From 1978 to 1983 he was the leader of the Silicon<br />

Materials Group where he invented several efficient,<br />

low-cost processes for purifying metallurgical-grade<br />

Si. Recently a Si solar cell company has implemented<br />

a large-scale version of one of those processes.<br />

In 1983 he became the leader of the III-V Materials<br />

and Devices Group and in 1984 invented the GaInP/<br />

GaAs tandem solar cell. The further development and<br />

refinement of this solar cell was the main project for<br />

the NREL III-V team for the next 20 years. During<br />

that time, the team patented several other single and<br />

multijunction solar cells, transferred the technology<br />

to industry, set several world record efficiencies,<br />

and garnered numerous awards, including two R&D<br />

100 Awards in 1990 and 2001, a Federal Laboratory<br />

Consortium Award for Technology Transfer in 1997, the<br />

<strong>IEEE</strong> Electrotechnology Transfer Award in 1998 and<br />

the Dan David Prize in 2007. Devices based on the<br />

original GaInP/GaAs solar cell are now being produced<br />

by numerous companies around the world for space<br />

power and terrestrial concentrator photovoltaic<br />

systems.<br />

The Hiram M. Chittenden Locks, commonly called the<br />

Ballard Locks, are a must-see for every Seattle visitor.<br />

Watch as the locks guide boats between the saltwater of<br />

the Puget Sound and the fresh water of the Ship Canal<br />

connecting to Lake Union and Lake Washington. In<br />

addition to the botanical garden, a highlight of this stop<br />

is the fish ladder, built to allow salmon to pass between<br />

fresh and saltwater. Glass panels make it possible to view<br />

the fish as they navigate their way through the ladder,<br />

adjusting to different levels of salt each step of the way.<br />

The final stop is Pike Place Market, a celebrated treasure<br />

among locals and tourists alike. Known for its exciting<br />

sights, sounds and aromas (not to mention those crazy<br />

fish throwers), Pike Place Market began on August 17,<br />

1907 and has remained a vital part of Seattle’s social and<br />

economic fabric for over 100 years. A variety of farmers,<br />

merchants, vendors, cafés, restaurants, and even the<br />

original Starbucks call this nine-acre historic district home.<br />

There will be time to shop and explore this fascinating<br />

area, and easy-to-read maps will be provided for those<br />

who wish to linger on their own.<br />

Cost:<br />

$55.00 per adult guest<br />

$45.00 per child (16 and under)<br />

William Edward Boeing founded one of the greatest<br />

dynasties in commercial aviation. The Boeing Company<br />

has transformed the Pacific Northwest into a major<br />

aeronautical hub. Soar into the new world of commercial<br />

aviation by exploring Boeing’s newest, high-tech facility,<br />

the Future of Flight Aviation Center. This 73,000 square<br />

foot center in Everett is a unique, interpretive facility<br />

designed to showcase the phenomenon of commercial<br />

jet aviation and production. Featuring hands-on exhibits,<br />

videos, graphics, and interactive stations, guests will<br />

have the opportunity to digitally design their own jet,<br />

try out the next generation of in-flight entertainment<br />

systems, touch the high-tech “skin” of the new Boeing<br />

787, and learn how technology and aviation can serve<br />

to connect people and cultures across the globe.<br />

Following the Future of Flight Aviation Center, you will<br />

be transferred to the Boeing Assembly Plant. In 1966,<br />

The Boeing Company announced that it would build the<br />

747, a jetliner capable of carrying nearly twice as many<br />

passengers as previous models. To build the giant<br />

jet, Boeing had to construct a facility large enough to<br />

handle the world’s largest commercial jetliner. The main<br />

assembly building, which the Guinness Book of World<br />

Records acknowledges as the largest building in the<br />

world by volume, is as large as 75 NFL football fields.<br />

This fascinating tour offers an in-depth view into the<br />

many facets of the airplane industry and guests will see<br />

airplanes including the new 777 and 787 Dreamliner in<br />

various stages of assembly.<br />

For security reasons, no photographic equipment, cell<br />

phones, backpacks, purses, or carry-on items of any<br />

kind are allowed on the Boeing Assembly Plant tour.<br />

June 22, during the <strong>37th</strong> <strong>IEEE</strong> Photovoltaic Specialists<br />

Conference. This event was initiated in 1980 and has<br />

graced every <strong>IEEE</strong> PVSC since. The Seattle run will<br />

be held along Elliot Bay Trail (in Myrtle Edwards Park).<br />

We will have to bus our runners to and from the start of<br />

this event--and the buses will leave from the Sheraton<br />

Hotel at 6:15 a.m. This is an event for serious and more<br />

recreational runners! Awards will be made in several<br />

age categories and again, our special “Corporate Run”<br />

will be highlighted. To qualify for the Corporate Run, you<br />

need 3 runners (at least) to represent your company,<br />

university, government agency, or other organization.<br />

The times are handicapped by age and sex, using<br />

the long-proven Arvizu-Kazmerski adjustment system<br />

which adjusts your time to that of a 20-year-old runner.<br />

The fee is $25 and includes a most tasteful T-shirt and<br />

many other commemorative items. Registration can<br />

In an intimate, relaxed setting, tour two of Washington’s<br />

most notable wineries: Novelty Hill | Januik and Chateau<br />

Ste. Michelle in Woodinville. Nestled in the Sammamish<br />

River Valley, Woodinville is a small community that has<br />

become a haven for fine winemakers. With the perfect<br />

climate for wine, ideal growing conditions, quality wines,<br />

business innovation and social responsibility, Washington<br />

State is a premium wine producing region. Although a<br />

relatively young wine industry, it is now the nation’s<br />

second largest wine producer and is ranked among the<br />

world’s top wine regions.<br />

Uniting innovation with tradition, Novelty Hill and familyowned<br />

Januik are two independent wineries that share<br />

a tasting room and production facility. The building’s<br />

contemporary design and surrounding landscape<br />

celebrate wine’s agrarian roots and the artistry of<br />

fine winemaking. Sample wines from distinguished<br />

winemaker Mike Januik, recently named one of the<br />

world’s 10 “Masters of Merlot” by Wine Enthusiast<br />

magazine. He has had numerous wines appear on Wine<br />

Spectator’s prestigious “Top 100” list, including the 2003<br />

Novelty Hill Cabernet Sauvignon. Before starting his own<br />

winery in 1999, Januik was head winemaker at Chateau<br />

Ste. Michelle for 10 years and has been producing wine<br />

in the Columbia Valley since 1984. Washington State’s<br />

oldest and most acclaimed winery offers award-winning<br />

wines and a tasting experience second to none. Chateau<br />

Ste. Michelle, located on 87 acres of historic, chateau and<br />

arboretum-like grounds, combines an ongoing dedication<br />

to research with a commitment to classic winemaking<br />

traditions. Winemaker Bob Bertheau crafts Washington<br />

wines that are expressions of the best vineyards in<br />

the state. Known for its highly-acclaimed Chardonnay,<br />

Riesling, Merlot and Cabernet, Chateau Ste. Michelle<br />

receives some of the highest accolades in the industry,<br />

including “American Winery of the Year 2004” from Wine<br />

Enthusiast magazine and “2005 Winery of the Year” by<br />

Restaurant Wine magazine. After viewing the art and<br />

science of wine-making and tasting exceptional wines,<br />

visit the Chateau Ste. Michelle’s extensive wine and<br />

accessory shop before returning to Seattle.<br />

While children are welcome to attend, please note that it<br />

is not the best tour for younger kids as the gift shop has<br />

a large quantity of fragile items and the kids do not have<br />

anything to do during the tasting. The outdoors are great<br />

if the parents want to walk around and hang outside.<br />

Cost:<br />

$75.00 adult<br />

new and something longstanding. What’s new is the<br />

PVSC’s first-ever Solar Day event, which is free and<br />

open to the public. Participants can learn solar energy<br />

basics from solar experts, including local solar energy<br />

authorities.<br />

Local installers will be there to answer questions<br />

and introduce you to options when going solar. The<br />

event includes a combination of tabletop booths and<br />

speakers to help the public improve their solar literacy.<br />

There will be speakers from the following<br />

organizations:<br />

- National Renewable Energy Laboratory<br />

- Pioneer Renewables/Rainer Renewable Energy<br />

- Sunergy Systems<br />

- University of Washington<br />

- Community Energy Solutions<br />

- Winter Sun Design<br />

- Solar Washington<br />

- Nexcis<br />

- Seattle City Light<br />

- West Seattle Natural Energy<br />

Solar Day is combined with our longstanding High<br />

School Photovoltaic Design Competition, where<br />

students are asked to work on their projects under<br />

the supervision of a faculty member and display<br />

their projects at the Conference in June, 2011. All<br />

of the displays will be visible during the Solar Day<br />

on Sunday and some will be on display during the<br />

conference. The design projects must demonstrate<br />

the use of photovoltaics in a practical application,<br />

using only photovoltaics as the power source for the<br />

project. Awards will be made for the top achievements,<br />

<strong>37th</strong> <strong>IEEE</strong> <strong>PHOTOVOLTAIC</strong> <strong>SPECIALISTS</strong> <strong>CONFERENCE</strong>


PM TUTORIALS (1:30 PM – 5:00 PM)<br />

PM1. Thin Film Solar Cells<br />

Instructors - Dr. Bulent Basol (EncoreSolar) and Alan<br />

Goodrich (National Renewable Energy Laboratory)<br />

Synopsis - The tutorial will provide a background of<br />

the present state of thin-film photovoltaic (PV) solar<br />

cell technologies, manufacturing costs, and market<br />

opportunities. The technologies discussed will be those<br />

in present world-wide production, focusing on amorphous<br />

Silicon (a-Si), Copper Indium Gallium Diselenide (CIGS),<br />

and Cadmium Telluride (CdTe). For each technology,<br />

discussion will include historical development, present<br />

advantages and limitations, and possible future directions<br />

for improved devices and costs. A very condensed<br />

discussion of PV device physics will be provided to<br />

establish an appreciation of material parameters that are<br />

important to related device operation. The tutorial will<br />

also discuss advancements in related technologies that<br />

may be critical for accelerating deployment of thin-film PV<br />

products.<br />

PM2. Organic Solar Cells: Principles and Cell Design<br />

Instructor - Dr. Sean Shaheen (University of Denver)<br />

Synopsis - The field of Organic Photovoltaics (OPV)<br />

has grown in the last several decades from being a<br />

laboratory novelty, with unique and interesting science<br />

but little commercial relevance, to the point now of niche<br />

consumer products entering the market. Steady growth<br />

in the last few years has resulted in certified AM1.5<br />

efficiencies exceeding 8% at multiple laboratories around<br />

the world. This course will aim to bridge the knowledge<br />

and vocabulary gap between the inorganic and organic<br />

PV communities. No prior knowledge of organic chemistry<br />

is required. The current state of OPV will be reviewed,<br />

including materials design and development, mechanisms<br />

of device physics, and recent findings on charge<br />

generation, recombination, and transport. Basic models<br />

for the operation of the devices and pathways to higher<br />

efficiencies will be analyzed. Progress in understanding<br />

and mitigating material and device degradation pathways<br />

will be discussed, as will processing methods and issues<br />

for high throughput manufacturing. Lastly, the course will<br />

address attempts at economic analysis of large-scale<br />

OPV manufacturing.<br />

TUTORIAL <strong>PROGRAM</strong>


56<br />

TUTORIAL <strong>PROGRAM</strong><br />

PM3. Reliability: From PV Cell to Module to System<br />

Instructor - Dr. John Wohlgemuth (National Renewable<br />

Energy Laboratory)<br />

Synopsis - As the size and complexity of PV projects<br />

grow, device, subcomponent, module, and overall<br />

system reliability have become some of the primary<br />

considerations for assessing their economic and technical<br />

viability. This tutorial will provide a historical perspective<br />

on PV reliability across a variety of technologies and<br />

applications (cSi, Thin Film, Multi-junction, CPV, Space,<br />

Terrestrial, etc.) followed by in-depth discussions of device<br />

physics, known and theoretical failure mechanisms, failure<br />

analysis techniques (LIV, DIV, EL, EBIC, TIVA, STEM,<br />

etc.), lifetime measurement and prediction models and<br />

methods (HALT, HAST, TC, DH, CE, Arrhenius, Weibull,<br />

etc.), and industry standards for product qualification (UL,<br />

IEC, Mil STD, AIAA, etc.).<br />

PM4. Future Generation Technologies<br />

Instructor - Dr. Ned Ekins-Daukes (Imperial College<br />

London, U.K.)<br />

Synopsis - Conventional photovoltaic devices are<br />

nearing their fundamental limits in terms of efficiency. This<br />

tutorial will explore the foundations for future photovoltaic<br />

technologies that potentially lead to fundamentally higher<br />

efficiency photovoltaic power conversion. In the short<br />

term, the multijunction approach represents the oldest<br />

and most established technology in this area and the<br />

current workhorse for space photovoltaic systems and<br />

increasingly terrestrial concentrator power plants. In the<br />

medium term, concepts such as up and down conversion<br />

may enable present photovoltaic technologies to be<br />

enhanced. In the long term, completely new photovoltaic<br />

materials are being developed to support ambitious, but<br />

very high efficiency concepts such as the intermediate<br />

band solar cell and the hot carrier solar cell. The present<br />

status of the research and development of these future<br />

generation technologies will be reviewed, highlighting the<br />

outstanding challenges that remain to be addressed.<br />

PM5. Writing a Winning Technology Proposal<br />

Instructors - Dr. James Rand and Dr. Ed Witt<br />

Synopsis - Two veterans from the PV community will<br />

review the key elements needed for a winning proposal<br />

in Solar. Topics addressed include: how to present your<br />

company, its people, its capabilities, and its idea, what to<br />

include in your proposal, how to determine the right level<br />

of detail, how to choose your partners, and which letters<br />

of support are the most meaningful. The content should<br />

be relevant for anyone writing proposals, whether they are<br />

start-ups, mature companies, or academia. Time will be<br />

allocated for questions and answers. Although the focus<br />

will be on photovoltaics, the general principles will apply<br />

to solar-based projects and more. The majority of the<br />

speakers’ experiences are drawn from working with the<br />

Department of Energy.<br />

<strong>37th</strong> <strong>IEEE</strong> <strong>PHOTOVOLTAIC</strong> <strong>SPECIALISTS</strong> <strong>CONFERENCE</strong>


TECHNICAL <strong>PROGRAM</strong><br />

On behalf of the entire<br />

Program Committee of<br />

the <strong>37th</strong> <strong>IEEE</strong> PVSC, it is<br />

my pleasure to welcome<br />

you to Seattle! Thanks to<br />

the extraordinary quality<br />

of abstracts and papers<br />

provided by many who<br />

are reading this letter, our<br />

committee has been able<br />

to create a terrific technical<br />

program that includes<br />

new world records, critical<br />

science and technology<br />

breakthroughs and many<br />

high impact contributions<br />

in practically every branch of photovoltaics science<br />

and technology. Enthusiasm for photovoltaics<br />

continues its trend to set records every year, and in<br />

2011 we received more than 1150 abstracts from 49<br />

countries, the most for any PVSC to date. Thank you<br />

to all authors and attendees of the conference, for your<br />

commitment to advancing the science, technology and<br />

commercialization of photovoltaics.<br />

Photovoltaic technologies have become increasingly<br />

central in defining our planet’s solutions with respect<br />

to its energy resources, energy management and<br />

energy security. As a result, new opportunities for<br />

both established and emergent PV technologies<br />

are constantly appearing, which span from research<br />

and development to commercialization and fullscale<br />

deployment. The resulting exponential rise<br />

in photovoltaic production and demand that has<br />

been occurring for more than a decade is a global<br />

phenomenon. Hence, science and technology<br />

developments in PV over the next several years, and<br />

their influence on the economics of PV installations, are<br />

likely to establish which energy technologies become<br />

dominant for decades to come. The chance to share<br />

and discuss these crucial PV developments in a timely<br />

and influential forum is what the PVSC is all about.<br />

Renewable Energy Laboratory, USA)<br />

As noted above, we have continued the system of<br />

having international Co-Chairs for each technical<br />

area, to further foster international participation and<br />

collaboration at the PVSC. With submissions from 49<br />

countries and just over half being from outside of North<br />

America, the <strong>37th</strong> PVSC has truly become a global<br />

conference. Particularly strong participation outside<br />

of the U.S. is from Japan, Taiwan, South Korea and<br />

Germany, with a notably large increase in participation<br />

from India, Spain and China. The role of international<br />

co-chairs has been critical to this success.<br />

The program kicks off on Sunday, June 19, 2011 with<br />

a series of highly informative tutorials, taught by some<br />

of the top experts in their fields, on a wide range of PV<br />

topics. Those just coming into the field of photovoltaics<br />

as well as seasoned PV researchers can benefit from<br />

these excellent seminars. The tutorial sessions have<br />

been extremely popular and with this year’s lineup we<br />

anticipate a very strong turnout.<br />

Monday morning will feature our Keynote and<br />

Conference Plenary speakers, with talks of high<br />

interest and relevance to all at the conference, cutting<br />

across all technical areas. On Monday, Tuesday, and<br />

Wednesday mornings starting at 8:30 AM, we will<br />

have the Area Plenary talks in technical Areas 1-9.<br />

These talks will highlight particularly exciting results in<br />

each Area, and should be very interesting to anyone<br />

curious about PV fields outside their immediate area<br />

of expertise. Close to 300 oral presentations are<br />

scheduled Monday through Friday noon, generally<br />

organized into sessions in 6 parallel time slots running<br />

throughout most of the week. Many of the parallel<br />

oral sessions throughout the week will begin with 30<br />

minute invited talks, allowing some of the most notable<br />

scientific and technical advances at the meeting to be<br />

shared in greater depth, and helping to set the theme of<br />

the session. Again, these talks are a good opportunity<br />

for researchers interested in learning more about<br />

areas of PV outside their own. Tuesday afternoon<br />

there will be a special workshop designed to expose<br />

attendees to the DOE’s SunShot Initiative along with<br />

opportunities to provide feedback.<br />

Poster presentations are a vital component of the<br />

PVSC-37, as has been the case in past conferences.<br />

With nearly 750 posters accepted for presentation<br />

TECHNICAL <strong>PROGRAM</strong><br />

at the conference, the impromptu discussions and<br />

meaningful dialogue fostered by the poster format<br />

will be the dominant forum for scientific exchange at<br />

the conference. During poster sessions there will be<br />

no oral sessions taking place at the same time, to<br />

allow uninterrupted time for discussion with the poster<br />

presenters. The posters are available for viewing<br />

during the posted exhibit hours.<br />

Motivated by the rapid commercialization of PV<br />

technology, the PV Velocity Forum, Area 10, is a<br />

parallel program that takes place throughout the<br />

week. The Forum will provide a unique opportunity for<br />

regulators, policy makers, legislators, investors and<br />

PV-industry executives to interact with scientists and<br />

technologists, to tackle the issues associated with the<br />

surging photovoltaics industry. Invited speakers and<br />

panelists will explore gating factors for incorporating<br />

new PV technologies, with the goal of accelerating the<br />

adoption of photovoltaics to a level even greater than<br />

we have today.<br />

With the exciting news of the launch of the new <strong>IEEE</strong><br />

Journal of Photovoltaics (J-PV) in 2011, I am very<br />

pleased to announce that the PVSC and J-PV are<br />

coordinating such that a select group of PVSC papers<br />

from across the conference will be included in an<br />

upcoming <strong>IEEE</strong> J-PV issue. All papers in the PVSC<br />

proceedings are searchable and accessible via the<br />

internet through the <strong>IEEE</strong> Xplore® system. To ensure<br />

<strong>IEEE</strong> Xplore®-compliant proceedings, please submit<br />

your manuscripts electronically through the website.<br />

Thank you for joining us in Seattle for the <strong>37th</strong> <strong>IEEE</strong><br />

PVSC. With your participation and interest, the<br />

PVSC has become the premier technical conference<br />

in photovoltaics in which solar cell researchers,<br />

technologists, entrepreneurs and policy makers can<br />

present, interact and learn about the latest advances<br />

in the science, engineering and applications of<br />

photovoltaics!<br />

Moritz Riede & Michael Barnes<br />

Description<br />

Organic, hybrid inorganic/organic, and dye-sensitized<br />

solar cells are rapidly advancing technologies that are<br />

beginning to demonstrate initial commercial viability.<br />

The flexibility to model and produce different donor/<br />

acceptor combinations including both organic, small<br />

molecule and polymer as well as nanostructured,<br />

inorganic materials stimulate a large diversity of<br />

possible approaches to realize promise of efficient<br />

and highly stable devices. Many of the devices are<br />

excitonic in nature, necessitating new models and<br />

understanding of the critical interfaces in the bulk<br />

heterojunction and the contacts. This is more so since<br />

there are interfaces between very heterogeneous<br />

materials with different structural, thermal and<br />

chemical properties. The symposium will focus on the<br />

examination of many of the key areas evolving in this<br />

diverse approach to solar energy. This includes papers<br />

in a broad spectrum of areas but will focus on: the<br />

modeling synthesis and evaluation of new materials<br />

for the donor and acceptor in the bulk heterojunction<br />

developing high performance contacts for organic and<br />

excitonic based devices with the associated interfacial<br />

science, studies on the lifetime and mechanisms for<br />

degradation in OPV devices and new device concepts<br />

for OPV including QD composites, tandem cells and<br />

others.<br />

John Wohlgemuth<br />

Description<br />

Area 8 presents work primarily focused on methods of<br />

characterization of photovoltaic materials and devices<br />

as opposed to focusing on the materials and devices<br />

characterized. Thus, papers submitted to this area<br />

could range from new scanning probe methods to<br />

determine semiconductor properties to methods to<br />

calibrate an accelerated lifetime testing apparatus.<br />

In-situ characterization methods and process control<br />

methods are appropriate to Area 8 because they are<br />

about implementing a method in a given environment.<br />

Papers describing the performance or properties of<br />

specific materials and devices, if focused primarily on<br />

those materials and devices should go to the areas<br />

concerned with the relevant technology. However,<br />

a paper describing the application of a technique to<br />

a material, focused primarily on demonstrating the<br />

capabilities of a technique, belong in Area 8. Thus, a<br />

paper describing cathodoluminescence (CL) of CuInSe2<br />

would belong in Area 2 if focused on the CIS but in Area<br />

8 if focused on how to conduct CL or the capabilities of<br />

a CL instrument. Exciting new work is being reported in<br />

this area ranging from novel methods of photoemission<br />

to advanced imaging and characterization methods for<br />

individual Si wafers through full modules.<br />

irradiance resources in relation to the energy yield (kWh/<br />

kWp) of PV modules and PV systems are welcome.<br />

In particular, we are interested in testing protocols<br />

for site-dependent energy yields. Power conditioning<br />

equipment affects the reliability and efficiency of PV<br />

systems. Therefore, contributions describing technical<br />

issues and standardization of inverters and Balance-of-<br />

Systems (BOS) components are encouraged. Papers<br />

about design engineering, monitoring and control of<br />

very large scale grid-connected PV installations are<br />

welcome, as well as papers about incentives for, and<br />

experiences with residential grid-connected systems<br />

and building-integrated PV systems in the context of<br />

smart grids. The growing need for renewable electricity<br />

supply is advancing the development of stand-alone<br />

PV solutions and various innovative PV products for<br />

both grid-connected and autonomous applications.<br />

As such, we welcome contributions that explore the<br />

development of system integrated PV in the context of<br />

functionality, regulations and costs.<br />
