OSA Optics for Solar Energy 2013

The focus of this meeting is on application of optics in photovoltaic and thermal solar energy generation. Topics include optical components, device structures, novel materials, energy conversion performance modeling, field tests, and economic impact of optics for solar energy conversion. The goal of this meeting is to bring together the researchers, engineers, and managers developing and using optics for the generation of solar energy to encourage active discussion. All forms of solar energy generation, transmission, and storage that benefit from optics will be considered.
