The OSA presents a new meeting in the area of optics for solar energy. The focus is on the optical components including their design, modeling, integration of novel materials, manufacture, testing, deployment in the field, economic considerations, and field results. 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; from thermal to photovoltaic to novel methods will be covered in this forum. The program will highlight the solar energy field through keynote and invited speakers spanning the technology, modeling, public policy, and financial areas.
