Welcome to PVSAT-6 and the WWW pages of the 6th Photovoltaic Science, Application and Technology conference,

The first PVSAT conference  was held at Loughborough University in 2003 and PVSAT is now well established as the premium event for the presentation of leading research in photovoltaics in the UK.

The UK is privileged in having a strong R&D community active in all the major PV fields of devices and applications. Once again the Call for Papers has generated a strong response from the UK photovoltaics community - some 60 abstracts have been received and a full and varied programme is promised. Invited speakers who will present at PVSAT-6 include Wim Sinke, ECN, The Netherlands, Chris Wronski, Pennsylvania State University, Ayodhya Tiwari, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Thomas Hofmann, Centrosolar Glas, Germany, Ray Noble, Renewable Energy Association, Darren Bagnall, University of Southampton and Alan Turner, Solarbuzz.

PVSAT-6 will be held at the historic Chilworth Manor (www.chilworth-manor.co.uk) in the grounds of the Southampton University Science Park, 24-26 March 2010.

Southampton University has established a leading international position in photovoltaics and is home to the Southampton Nanofabrication Centre, the Optoelectronics Research Centre and the Sustainable Energy Research Group. PVSAT-6 will be an exciting opportunity to hear the latest developments in PV, enjoy the exhibition of the UK PV industry and supporting services to the PV community and to interact will colleagues across all PV sectors in the UK. The conference is organised by the UK section of the International Solar Energy Society in partnership with EPSRC’s PV-Net.
