The first edition will be held online, the motto is “Solutions for vehicle integration”. An exciting program with outstanding invited talks will be provided to discuss approaches to achieve an integrated PV energy supply in the vehicle skin.
Conference topics are:
- Cell technology
- Highest-efficiency industrially available solar cells
- Adaptation of cells (e.g. cell cutting and/or edge passivation, flexibility of cells)
- Module technology
- Integration of solar cells in the vehicle surface: encapsulation,interconnection and vehicle body integration
- Materials: lightweight, robust, scratch resistance
- Color and aesthetics
- Mechanical modelling
- System Energy Management
- Power integration concepts: balance of systems, batteries
- Power management for dynamic conditions
- Power conversion components and technology
- Safety & Reliability
- Safety and durability: failure modes and analysis (e.g. hotspots, crash tests)
- Standards, certification (e.g. CAFE standards, CO2 emissions)
- Module Characterization and testing of components
- Servicing and repair
- Performance & Costs
- Yield prediction and performance modeling
- Solar irradiance and real-world validation
- System optimization
