Workshop’s presentation:

The second “Theory and Modeling for PV” workshop will be held on October 6^th and 7^th in Paris-Saclay on EDF R&D Campus. The 2015 edition of the workshop gathered 50 participants at University of Aix-Marseille in Marseille. The aim of this workshop is to present perspectives by world experts and original research works on theory and modeling covering a wide variety of PV technologies (inorganics PV including silicon, chalcogenide thin film, new materials, organic PV, concentrated PV, new concepts, photonics, etc), scales (from the atom to the PV plant) and simulation tools (atomistic calculation, empirical and semi-empirical, semi-classical or quantum simulations, etc). The workshop is meant to create a fertile ground in order to promote discussions between different fields and is opened to any persons involved in the field of academic or industrial research interested in PV or in modeling for PV.

The workshop will be organized along the following thematic

• Electrical and Optical properties of materials.
• Optics and Photonic simulation.
• Device modeling.
• PV module and plant: ageing and solar energy capabilities.

The attendance to the workshop is free but will be limited to 70 persons maximum. Oral presentations are on invitation only. A poster session will be organized and participants are more than welcome to submit a maximum 15-line abstract describing their poster.

The program of the workshop will be released in the upcoming weeks.

Registration including name of the participant, his/her affiliation, address and email must be sent to the following email address: cedric.guerard@edf.fr
