On behalf of the Organizing, Cherry, and International Committees, it is my great pleasure to invite you to participate in the 34th IEEE Photovoltaic Specialists Conference. This conference will be held at the Philadelphia Marriott in Philadelphia, PA June 7–12, 2009.

Abstract submission is now open. Please visit Author Central.

Historically, the mission of the Photovoltaic Specialists Conference has been to present groundbreaking research papers on all aspects of PV-relevant materials, devices, systems and applications. We once again expect to present a very strong Technical Program that will encompass nine programmatic areas covering topics from novel materials and devices, thin-film cells made from CIGS and CdTe and emerging semiconductors, crystalline and amorphous silicon, III-V cells, concentrator devices and systems, and module and system experience including reliability studies.

The Technical Program will be complemented by six tutorials to be presented on Sunday, June 7. These tutorials will be taught by experts in their fields and will be valuable to newcomers to photovoltaics, as well as to seasoned veterans who wish to learn about recent trends. We also expect that the conference Exhibition will be substantially larger than in recent years because of the greatly increased level of interest in photovoltaics in the USA.

We are planning a more vigorous Auxiliary Program, to include daily meetings, seminars, and panel discussions in topics beyond the scope of the Technical Program. We hope that this Auxiliary Program will attract many people to the conference who may not normally attend the Technical Program.

We expect that the increased interest in the field of photovoltaics will lead to greatly increased attendance. The hotel will maintain our group rate and room block for a limited time—so we urge you to register for the meeting, as well as to make your hotel reservation, well ahead of the deadline.

Please join us in Philadelphia and help make PVSC 34 a memorable event!
