Seminar of Solar experts and University researchers at Abu Dhabi during 27-28 March on photovoltaics (PV)


Semiconductor Research Corporation and Masdar Institute Host Solar Technology Scientists in Abu Dhabi to Identify Research Directions for Energy Breakthroughs


                        Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC) and the Masdar Institute of Science and Technology announced for gathering of solar experts and university researchers for a forum on photovoltaics (PV) during March 27-28 at Abu Dhabi. The event is designed to explore the route for development of cost-effective systems capable of achieving 25 percent energy conversion from solar resources in Abu Dhabi by the year 2020. The Forum on Solar-Electrical Energy Systems 2020 conference brings more than 40 of the leading commercial and university researchers from North America, Europe, Asia, Japan and the United Arab Emirates as presenters. Topics will range from New Materials and Nanostructures for PV to Industrial and Commercial-Scale PV Systems and System Integration Challenges. The forum is a collaboration of SRC and Masdar Institute of Science and Technology. It will be an issue of the discussion to trace out the research directions needed for Abu Dhabi’s solar future and potential smart grid.
                 It is a hope that global rich representation in the forum from many of the top research organizations will promote to attract the best talent and make proper guidance for future of Abu Dhabi through renewable energy. As advancing semiconductor technology is a vital component of the clean technologies of the future. Masdar Institute takes a collaborative approach in developing a wide range of clean technology solutions and Masdar Institute will co-host this forum with the Semiconductor Research Corporation. SRC, the world's leading university-research consortium for semiconductors and related technologies, is partnering with Masdar Institute to encourage university research in fields of renewable technologies. The Masdar Institute conference will be by invitation only. It is expected that the results will drive a wide number of research initiatives for solar energy breakthroughs in Abu Dhabi that will be guided by the semiconductor and solar industries at Masdar Institute and other education institutions.
