PHILADELPHIA--The IEEE Photovoltaic Specialists Conference has come a long way since its humble beginnings in the early 1960s. As conference chair Tim Anderson explained at the Monday morning keynote session, this year’s event is the first time that the symposium has been held in a consecutive-year sequence and, along with SEIA’s colocated PV America tradeshow at the convention center, expects to draw about 4000 technologists and other solar professionals. He said that about 680 oral and poster technical presentations will be offered at PVSC during the week, as well as various tutorials and keynote talks--and PV America has a few dozen panels and speeches on its own, more business-oriented schedule. Here are a few short takes from the conference sessions and exhibit hall.
