PVSC PROGRAM
On behalf of the Technical Program Committee, I would like to invite you to submit an abstract on your latest achievements in photovoltaic (PV) research, development, applications, and impact to the 53rd IEEE Photovoltaic Specialists Conference (PVSC 53). PVSC 53 continues the conference’s longstanding tradition of covering the full spectrum of PV knowledge and innovation, from the basic science and engineering of materials, devices, and systems, to the examination of policy and markets and critical issues of social impact. PVSC is a highly interactive and inclusive venue for everyone, from seasoned PV experts to entry-level professionals to students alike. The conference provides a unique opportunity to meet, share, and discuss PV-related developments in a timely and influential forum.
While full papers are encouraged, publication of a conference proceeding will be optional, with short abstracts otherwise acting as the publication of record. Authors will have the option of contributing their evaluation abstract or an edited (and longer, if desired) conference proceeding by the May 30, 2025 publication deadline. Exceptional abstract submissions may be recommended and encouraged to submit a full manuscript for peer-review to IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics.
New this year: Poster presenters will have the option to include a maximum 3-minute video that will be available for asynchronous viewing by conference registrants.
To have your paper considered for presentation at PVSC 53, please submit:
1. An evaluation abstract (3 pages maximum for technical committee review), using the current version of the MS Word template provided on the conference website;
2. A short abstract of 300 words or less for display on the PVSC 53 website and default publication in the PVSC proceedings.
Abstract submission is via the PVSC 53 website. Please make use of (or exactly follow the formatting of) the current version of the MS Word template when preparing your submission. Technical evaluation abstracts will be thoroughly reviewed to decide acceptance and determine oral versus poster presentation format. The abstract deadline has been extended to January 24, 2025 at midnight Pacific Standard Time (UTC - 8 hours). Contributing authors will be notified of the acceptance status of their papers by March 21, 2025, after which they must confirm their ability and willingness to present their work at the conference. Invitation letters for visa applications are issued upon request after registration to the conference.
I look forward to welcoming you at the 53rd IEEE Photovoltaic Specialists Conference in Montreal, Canada!
