PV DaysOCTOBER 23-24, 2018HALLE (SAALE) | GERMANY

PV DAYS 2018

Due to the occasion of a new director of CSP‘s department

of reliability and technology for grid parity, Prof. Dr.

Ralph Gottschalg, this year‘s edition will focus on new

trends and opportunities in photovoltaics, new module

technologies as well as photovoltaic systems.

In addition to the traditional lecture programme, there

will be an exhibition with VIPV demonstrators as well as

hands-on demonstrations of measurement equipment. A

panel discussion will focus on requirements, opportunities

and challenges of digitalization in PV.

We invite you to take a part in our two day conference and

benefit from interesting talks, discussions and contacts

with international speakers and players from research and

industry.
