After the event

Brief description of activities, conclusions, next steps, recommendations, etc.

SolarTR-3 shared and discussed the latest research and development results on solar technologies. All kind of Solar technologies from high efficient wafer based technologies to innovative technologies have been focused on academically.

Industrial partners have also take part in the conference via the exhibition area and have found the opportunity to create efficient collaborations with universities.

Keynote speakers from Turkey, Europe and USA major research centres in other countries, and companies have participated.

A broad conclusion is that solar electricity related research has evolved rapidly in Turkey in recent years, and this is being

followed by a rapid expansion of solar electricity technologies, especially PV, into the commercial sector in Turkey.

Estimated number of participants, if possible.
