400+ ATTENDEES REGISTERED 27 27-29 October 2020 PRESENTATIONS 9+ HOURS OF CONTENT Post ShowOnline 2020 Report 170+ COMPANIES ATTENDED PV CellTech 2020 Online provided a new opportunity for the global PV sector to participate at this flagship event by PV-Tech. By hosting the event online, key stakeholders in PV manufacturing and technology across almost every country and region worldwide were able to listen to 27 presentations from the companies driving the PV technology roadmap over the next few years. The event proved pivotal in framing the level of market adoption from n-type cell variants, in particular n-PERT/TOPCon and heterojunction architectures. It was clear that the migration from p-type mono PERC to these higher efficiency formats remained on the roadmaps of all leading PV producers today, with the phasing of the p-type to n-type transition being the one factor yet to be agreed on by the industry as a whole. In the meantime, efficiency gains using the mainstream p-mono PERC cell type continue to be made with 24% in volume production the new goal from the 100-GW-plus levels of capacity now installed globally. I would like to thank our sponsors and speakers who made the event such a success, and I look forward to our next event in April 2021.

Being able to PV CellTech was this time an opportunity for Great conference delivering quick insights into watch sessions live or later made the conference people that can not physically meet the industry technology development and adoption, hosted by effective and convenient, all while eliminating leaders to listen to them in an uninterrupted Finlay who puts everything so well into context. travel time, CO2 emissions, and COVID risk manner and in their own time zone using the Fabian Wany, Blueleaf Energy ” Doug Rose, SunPower Corporation recording option ” ” Ronen Frish, DR Utilight This was the first time attending PV CellTech PV CellTech provides a unique perspective on conference. It was a great information package solar technology that is being implemented and I thought the online format worked well and it was for someone usually more focused on module is a great compliment to the more technical PV great that you could access the presentations technology. Great overview to the cell technology conferences within 2 hours after it had finished. The portal was landscape. ” ” Bill Rever, Advanced Silicon Group easy to access and navigate regardless of what Antti Tolvanen, Endeas Oy time zone you were in. As a first time attendee of a PV CellTech conference, I though it was I like the way which the conference was held. It great. There were a wide range of speakers and PV CellTech conference provides an excellent was very organized and systematic. The seminars research discussed and I found very informative. update on market trends, cell technologies, was kept within the time limit. The Q&A session ” Sophie Burrage, UNSW manufacturing equipment and materials in 3 days. was very interactive. All major players in PV cell manufacturing are Zheren Du, Jolywood present and provide high quality presentations. ” PVCellTech kept me up-to-date at a time where Martijn Zwegers, Meco Equipment Engineers networking and exchange is more difficult than BV PV CellTech was a great opportunity to learn usual. The speakers are required to show their ” about the latest cell technology developments own achievements and to talk about their own and roadmap for the next years. It provided a acitivites. This makes the content very useful and What I like about CellTech is all company/people's good insight of what the PV market will bring us in unique. presentations are backed by data, charts, trends, the next few years. Pietro Altermatt, Trinasolar etc and Finlay questions leading the speakers to Carmen Morilla, Brookfield Renewables provide additonal and important information.
