Each Saturday we will highlight a selection of “green” conferences or events to be held the next week. Due to the continued growth of the green economy, there is usually a diverse offering ranging from the extremely technical/academic to financial topics to just plain “green living“.
The 34th IEEE Photovoltaic Specialists Conference will be held June 7-11th in Philadelphia, USA. The the mission of the Photovoltaic Specialists Conference is t to present groundbreaking research papers on all aspects of PV-relevant materials, devices, systems and applications. The Technical Program will be complemented by six tutorials to be presented on Sunday, June 7. These tutorials will be taught by experts in their fields and will be valuable to newcomers to photovoltaics, as well as to seasoned veterans who wish to learn about recent trends. It is also expected that the conference Exhibition will be substantially larger than in recent years because of the greatly increased level of interest in photovoltaics in the USA.
