A Word from the Chairs 2013 has seen some improvement in the Global PV market . A better balance of supply and demand has stabilised prices and the volume of installations has grown and many new markets are emerging outside Europe. There is a renewed optimism within the community but the research challenges remain. 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 methodologies to control and monitor PV performance to allow grid penetration of PV generation to well above 10%. The PVSAT conference 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 which is in its 40th anniversary year. This 10th running of 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. Loughborough University hosted the first two PVSAT conferences and PVSAT- 10 will be held at the Holywell Park site of Loughborough University. The local organisation is managed by CREST, the Centre for Renewable Energy Systems, which itself celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2013. A Technical tour of the CREST laboratories will follow the conference. Holywell Park, Loughborough, LE11 3GR provides an excellent location to continue the success of the annual PVSAT conference series. It is one mile from Junction 23 of the M1 with an Intercity rail link and East Midlands Airport close by. We look forward to welcoming you to Loughborough in April.
