This symposium is dedicated to contributions in the development of new materials and devices for the conversion of solar energy into electrical and chemical energy. All areas of photovoltaic research are welcome, including the development of novel materials, device fabrication, modules and solar panels, grid integrated solar energy, device stability and standardization. Special emphasis is dedicated to hybrid materials and nanomaterials used in third generation solar cells, artificial photosynthesis and solar fuel production. This symposium opens the opportunity to meet experts in the field of energy conversion to discuss new concepts, trends, novel materials and their properties and developments in science and technology.
