Welcome!

The 2025 APSRC was held from the 2nd to the 4th Dec at the Advanced Engineering Building at the University of Queensland in Brisbane. 

The ‘Final’ Program is now available! It is available in three different formats. Note that the program is subject to change, mainly as speakers change their availability. (updated 3 Dec 2025)

1. Downloadable pdf version – provides an overview of the entire program and is printable.
2. Web version – is similar to the pdf version but includes links to many of the abstracts.
3. Mobile version – is the same as the Web version but is suitable for a mobile phone.

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 provides a unique opportunity to combine the annual research reviews of Australia’s key solar research groups, representing researchers from around the region. (Image credit)

Academic Streams
The Conference is arranged into four streams where presenters can 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 was a series of Industry Workshops that had more of an industry focus, and where speakers were invited. Details of the Industry Workshops can be accessed here.

1. 1. PV forecasting and Firm Power Management
   2. PV recycling/Circular economy
   3. PV manufacturing
   4. Renewable heat for manufacturing, mining, and fuels
   5. Photovoltaic thermal (PVT)
   6. High comfort, low carbon lighting

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