Aims and Scope

The goal of the International Conference on Solar Energy Photovoltaics, ICSEP 2012 http://www.kiit.ac.in/icosep/, is to provide a well-organized international forum to review and stimulate progress from both research institutes and industry. The conference covers the entire spectrum of photovoltaics from materials to systems. This conference has a special session on “Plasmonics and nanostructured solar cells.” Worldwide, the interest in photovoltaics as an energy technology as well as an industrial opportunity has increased significantly within the last few years and with the launch of Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM), which created a lot of interest in the Indian solar sector. To create demand and attract investment in the sector, the government is providing various incentives. India has huge potential for solar PV, and with the right policy support by the Indian Government, India can become a major player in the solar market globally.

The present conference provides a platform to exchange knowledge about the latest scientific and industry results and to discuss the latest trends and developments in photovoltaics.
