It is our great pleasure to extend an invitation for you to join us at the 53rd IEEE Photovoltaic Specialists Conference the week of June 8-13, 2025. In honor of our international PV community, we will be hosting the conference outside the U.S. for the first time, in beautiful Montreal, Quebec, Canada. As a global destination for arts and culture and an icon of urban sustainability and diversity, we can’t imagine a better location. As always, the IEEE Photovoltaic Specialists Conference will offer a diverse, world-class technical program divided into eleven topical areas covering the breadth and depth of the most recent and relevant developments in PV science and engineering, manufacturing, reliability, deployment, policy and sustainability. Our exciting slate of keynote, plenary and invited speakers will share up-to-date research breakthroughs and new developments in manufacturing and policy. Our signature Sunday session will be dedicated to tutorials for students and entry-level professionals, as well as seasoned PV experts looking to expand their knowledge into new areas. The conference’s exhibition area will welcome companies to showcase their latest developments in characterization, materials, and manufacturing. All of these events will be enhanced by ample opportunities for networking to form new collaborations and friendships, as well as renew old acquaintances.
