PV Days 2021 Online Workshop: Quality Assurance in Photovoltaics

Technologies in PV are changing faster than ever before. In this context, every innovation is a reliability challenge and generates a need for research work that enables increased quality at reduced costs.
This year's PV Days program will therefore focus on the following issues:

  • Digitalization of quality assurance
  • Failure understanding of materials, components and systems
  • Material and device reliability
