Program Overview
The focus of this meeting is on the optical components used to collect light and efficiently convert the collected light into useable forms of energy such as electricity or thermal energy for heating. Presentations at this meeting will cover the design of optical components and systems, modeling, integration of novel materials, manufacture, testing, field deployment, economic considerations, and application and test results. All forms of solar energy generation, transmission, and storage; from thermal to photovoltaic to novel methods will be covered in this forum.
Topics covered in this meeting include;
- Methods of energy generation (thermal, photovoltaic, solar hydrogen etc.)
- Concentrator photovoltics (Fresnel lens, micro-optical, planar, cavity PV light guide, self-tracking, holographic concentrators, etc.)
- Energy storage technologies
- Tracking technologies
- Solar Cells and Materials used in solar energy applications
- Coatings: thin films and texturing
- Flexible and Conformal Optics
- Optics for spectrum splitting and holographic optics
- Solar Simulators/models
- Free form optics designs and other design approaches used in solar energy applications
- Optical effects in solar materials
- Energy generation /system cost
