PVinMotion

Dear PVinMotion Friends,

 

PVinMotion, the world’s first scientific conference dedicated to photovoltaics in mobility, will take place in the Asia-Pacific region from March 12 to 14, 2025, in Miyazaki, Japan. The event will feature an open-door meeting for IEA PVPS Task-17 (international research collaboration) and IEC TC82 PT600 (international standardization of vehicle-integrated photovoltaics) on March 11. Join us to discuss exciting technologies in the beautiful surroundings of southern Japan and enjoy excellent food.

Looking forward to welcome you!

PVinMotion

PVinMotion is the world’s first scientific conference dedicated to photovoltaic technologies for mobility, including vehicle-integrated photovoltaic (VIPV). The conference brings together renowned experts from both the PV and the automotive world to showcase innovative work and accelerate the progress toward solar powered transportation:

 

•Researchers from all VIPV-related areas

•Module and material producers

•Technology and electronics suppliers

•Designers, advisors, finance & business

Research and industry in this field are at the start of an exciting ride, with unprecedented momentum for technical advances and market growth. Come explore the cutting-edge technologies, concepts, and examples for integrating PV into different mobilities. 

PVinMotion Conference is the first of its kind platform for scientists and researchers in PV and materials, vehicle manufacturers, module producers, electronics and materials suppliers, consultants, advisers and designers to meet, to network and to exchange ideas.

•The first edition of the conference - PVinMotion 2021 - was held online from December 6-8, 2021.

•The second edition of the conference - PVinMotion 2023 - took place, in-person in ’s-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands, and online, from February 15-17, 2023.

•The third edition of the conference - PVinMotion 2024 - was held in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, from March 6-8, 2024.

Learn more about the VIPV Potential

Vehicle Integrated Photovoltaics (VIPV) is the mechanical, electrical and design integration of photovoltaic modules in vehicles. The PV modules fit seamlessly into the vehicle shell and are connected to electrical consumers or the drive battery in electric vehicles. What potential lies dormant in VIPV? Where is VIPV already being used? And what are currently still the biggest hurdles? Dr. Martin Heinrich, Fraunhofer ISE, tells us in his podcast.
