Newsletter

The PV-Tech Newsletter is issued to an ever-growing recipient list twice a week: on Monday at lunchtime and on Wednesday evening. Covering the latest and most relevant news, blogs and product reviews, the PV-Tech newsletter is distributed only to those who have requested to be placed on our distribution list. We have a high open rate as well as ever-increasing subscriber numbers, thanks to the highly authoritative and unbiased content that we feature both in the newsletter and on the site. PV-Tech.org consistently supplies independent news coverage of developments within the photovoltaic industry, focusing on news of developments throughout the solar PV supply chain, while also providing exclusive video and live media.

In December 2009, we started issuing the fortnightly Thin-Film Insights e-newsletter, which has proved to be hugely popular. Presented in a similar, easy-reading format as the bi-weekly PV-Tech Newsletter, we tailor the content to deliver our readers the latest updates on all thin-film related news, products and technologies.

Photovoltaics International 19th Edition

For manufacturers who had their heads in the bunker during 2012, fighting falling ASPs and eroding margins, the nineteenth edition brings you details of what lies in store for this coming year. Wright Williams & Kelly return in this issue with their popular analysis of payback on technology buys; crucially they analyze n-type wafers, Al2O3 passivation and copper metallization. SERIS shows us how to achieve 18.7% efficiencies using low-cost etching techniques on diffused wafers. We also have two important technology roundups: CIGS from Helmholtz Berlin, and PV module encapsulation techniques from Fraunhofer ISE.
