SECTION COLLECTION INFORMATION

Dear Colleages,

In the current global scenario, photovoltaic technology stands as a beacon of hope and practicality in addressing the pressing challenges of climate change and energy sustainability. As the world increasingly pivots towards cleaner and renewable energy sources, photovoltaic technology emerges as a linchpin, offering a scalable and environmentally friendly solution. The ability to harness the inexhaustible power of the sun not only reduces dependence on finite fossil fuels but also mitigates greenhouse gas emissions, contributing significantly to the fight against climate change. Moreover, the decentralized nature of solar energy empowers communities, offering energy independence and resilience. In an era where environmental consciousness is paramount, photovoltaic technology transcends being a mere scientific pursuit, it becomes a catalyst for a more sustainable, resilient, and equitable future for generations to come.

The Photovoltaic Technology section serves as a hub for the latest breakthroughs, innovations, and discussions in the realm of solar energy. Embracing a multidisciplinary approach, this section welcomes contributions from researchers, engineers, and scientists who are pushing the boundaries of photovoltaic technology. As we navigate the evolving landscape of sustainable energy, this section aims to showcase diverse perspectives, methodologies, and applications within the field.

Papers exploring novel solar cell designs, materials, and fabrication techniques are encouraged. Whether it's perovskite, organic, or quantum dot solar cells, this section is the canvas for unveiling the future of photovoltaics. Beyond capturing sunlight, efficient energy conversion and storage are paramount. Manuscripts delving into advancements in energy conversion processes, such as power electronics and grid integration, find a home here. Investigating new materials with enhanced photovoltaic properties is vital for the progression of solar technology.
