About This Topic
The global demand for clean and sustainable energy has positioned photovoltaic (PV) technology at the forefront of the renewable energy transition. This special issue aims to highlight recent advances and emerging trends in photovoltaic energy engineering, spanning materials, system design, performance optimization, integration, and lifecycle assessment. We invite original research articles, reviews, and case studies that explore innovative solutions to improve the efficiency, reliability, and economic viability of PV systems.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Advanced PV materials and nanostructures
- Novel cell architectures and fabrication techniques
- Performance modeling, simulation, and diagnostics
- PV system integration in smart grids and energy storage
- Hybrid systems and agrivoltaics
- Environmental impact and lifecycle analysis
- Policy, economics, and deployment strategies
This special issue aims to provide a multidisciplinary platform for researchers, engineers, and policymakers to share insights that drive forward the engineering and implementation of next-generation PV technologies.
