A Word from the Chairs 2012 has proved a very challenging year for the global PV community with oversupply of product driving down prices and profitability in the PV market. Nevertheless the market has grown and new research challenges have emerged. Priority items are developing the new PV technologies to take cost below €0.4 /Wp, developing storage systems at the domestic and multi- megawatt level and how to predict control and monitor PV performance to allow grid penetration of PV generation to well above 10%. The PVSAT conferences is now well established as the premium event for PV in the UK and is an ideal forum to explore how we as a PV community can respond to these very significant challenges.. The UK is privileged in having a strong R&D community active in most of the major PV fields of devices and applications. The PVSAT conference series is organised by the UK section of the International Solar Energy Society in partnership with PV-Net. The conference will again be held over three days to allow the inclusion of the wide range of papers and posters reflecting this fast moving field of research and development. PVSAT- 9 will be held at the beautiful Swansea University Campus on the edge of the Gower Peninsula. The local organisation is managed by SPECIFIC, an academic and industrial research consortium led by Swansea University and Tata Steel Europe. SPECIFIC is a UK Innovation and Knowledge Centre and aims to enable the rapid commercialisation of functionally coated glass and steel products to generate, store and release energy. A Technical tour of the SPECIFIC site at Baglan Bay will follow the conference. Swansea is readily accessible by rail and car, with a direct main line rail service from London Paddington. Cardiff International Airport can be reached by train. The campus is about two miles from the city centre. There are excellent bus and taxi services to and from the city. Swansea University provides an excellent location to continue the success of the annual PVSAT conference series and we look forward to welcoming you to Swansea in April.
