PVinMotion is the world's first scientific conference dedicated to vehicle-integrated PV. It offers scientists and researchers in the field of PV and materials, vehicle manufacturers, module manufacturers, electronics and material suppliers, consultants, consultants and designers a future-oriented platform to meet, network and exchange ideas. The first edition takes place online under the motto “Solutions for Vehicle Integration”. In an exciting program with outstanding invited lectures, approaches for an integrated PV energy supply in the vehicle skin are discussed.
The conference topics are:
Cell technology
– Highly efficient, industrially available solar cells
– Adaptation of cells (e.g. cell cutting and / or edge passivation, flexibility of cells)
– System energy management
– Power integration concepts: system balance, batteries
– Power management for dynamic conditions
– Power conversion components and technology
Environmental and social impact
– design aspects
– Consumer perception, user behavior and interaction
– Financing and political framework
– CO2 reduction and life cycle analysis (including social aspects)
– Future potential and business cases for the VIPV module technology
– Integration of solar cells in the vehicle surface: encapsulation, wiring and body integration
– Materials: light, robust, scratch-resistant
– color and aesthetics
– Mechanical modeling
Security & Reliability
– Safety and durability: possible errors and analysis (e.g. hotspots, crash tests)
– Standards, certification (e.g. CAFE standards, CO2 emissions)
– Module characterization and testing of components performance & costs
– Yield prediction and performance modeling
– Solar radiation and real-world validation
– System optimization
– Cost analysis of the system and components
Production and implementation
– Best practices of VIPV technologies
– Equipment and processing (e.g. laminating technology)
– Integration into the vehicle manufacturing process
– Automobile construction and technical implementation
