40th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference Solar Centre Twente was present in Lisbon

The 40^th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference was held on 18-22 September 2023 in Lisbon. Here's a snapshot of what the Solar Centre of the University of Twente has been up to at the 40^th EUPVSEC:

• A talk given by our colleague, Dr. Wouter Schram on "Collective Self-Consumption: The Next Step in PV Prosuming Policy to Foster Citizen Engagement?" in the "Enabling Multi Terawatt PV Deployment: Technical and Social Dimensions" session.
• A talk given by our colleague, Dr. Wiria Soltanpoor on "Physical Vapor Deposition of Contact Materials and Halide Perovskites for Solar Cells" in the "Perovskite Top-Cell Development and All Perovskite Tandems" session.
• A talk given by our colleague, Dr. Elham Shirazi on "Solar Energy Harvesting for a Custom Sailing Yacht, a Case Study for Project Zero" in the "Transport / Vehicle Integrated Photovoltaics (VIPV)" session.

Apart from the talks, we had the opportunity to chair two sessions:

• High-Efficiency Perovskite Silicon Tandems by Dr. Wiria Soltanpoor
• Integrated PV and Emerging Synergistic Applications by Dr. Elham Shirazi

Thank you to all our colleagues, the participants, organizers, and attendees for making this conference a vibrant hub of ideas and innovation. Stay connected with us at the Solar Centre of the University of Twente to stay informed about our ongoing research, and events.
