Welcome!

The APVI is pleased to announce that the 2024 APSRC will be the 3rd to the 5th Dec at the Stamford Plaza Hotel in Mascot, Sydney! 

The APSRC provides a regional forum for communicating research outcomes covering all aspects of solar-related research: PV devices, concentrating solar thermal, deployment & integration, solar heating & cooling as well as solar fuels and chemistry. With the theme of information, communication and integration, the conference provides a great opportunity for young researchers and professionals to share knowledge and network with the region’s leading innovators from industry and research institutions. 

The conference also provided a unique opportunity to combine the annual research reviews of Australia’s key solar research groups, representing researchers from around the region.

Academic Streams
The Conference is arranged into four streams where presenters submit peer-reviewed Abstracts.

  1. Photovoltaic Devices
  2. Renewable Energy Deployment & Integration
  3. Solar Buildings and Solar Heating & Cooling
  4. Concentrating Solar Thermal & Process Heat and Chemistry

Industry Workshops
Once again there will be a series of Industry Workshops that have more of an industry focus, and where speakers were invited. Details of the Industry Workshops can be accessed here.

  1. Solar hot water for 2030
  2. PV forecasting and Firm Power Management
  3. PV recycling/Circular economy
  4. Building Integrated PV
  5. Space PV
  6. Vehicle Integrated PV
  7. Agri-PV
  8. PV manufacturing
  9. Carbon-free heat for industry

Poster Session & networking events are also incorporated, covering all the research topics above, and provide an opportunity for solar researchers in the Region to meet and exchange ideas. Posters will be on display at dedicated sessions during the conference.

There will also be limited financial assistance available for students who require it.
