SiliconPV 2021, the 11th International Conference on Silicon Photovoltaics will take place online from April 19-22. It will cover the latest trends and results in advanced technologies, materials and concepts for crystalline Si solar cells and modules. The Institute for Solar Energy Research Hamelin (ISFH) will host the event and will welcome participants to share and discuss the latest results and findings in the field.

Scientists from ISFH and the Institute of Solid State Physics of Leibniz Universität Hannover will give 13 presentations:
