PVSPACE-25 Conference

Conference Topics: 

  • Next-Gen Materials & Multi-Junction PVs: Advanced materials including halide and low-dimensional perovskites, organic solar cells, CIGS, CZTS, and high-efficiency tandem/multi-junction architectures.

  • Design, Fabrication & Scalability: Focus on large-area fabrication, lightweight flexible PVs, high specific power designs, advanced encapsulation, and innovative packaging for space assembly.

  • Space Environment & Reliability: Stability and performance under extreme conditions, ionizing radiation testing, shielding materials, and rigorous space-environment simulation.

  • Orbital Infrastructure & Missions: Powering satellite constellations, telecommunications, and sustainable energy for near/far space missions, alongside PV flight experiments and space economy value chains.

  • Space Power Generation & Transmission: Space-based solar power stations, wireless power transmission (laser/microwave), and advanced methods for collecting and transmitting energy in orbit.

  • In-Space Mobility & Integrated Tech: Green and solar-electric propulsion, solar sails, active debris removal, and synergies with photodetectors, scintillating materials, and wearable electronics for drones and astronauts. 

As the rapid expansion of the private space economy drives global entrepreneurship and investment, this conference explores the critical shift toward next-generation power systems tailored for extreme environments. Central to this evolution are innovative photovoltaics, such as perovskite and multi-junction thin-film solar cells, which offer high efficiency, radiation resilience, and lightweight, scalable manufacturing that outclasses conventional systems. By providing a platform for experts to discuss advancements in everything from extraterrestrial bases and wireless power transmission to green propulsion, the event emphasizes rigorous space-environment testing and pioneering experimental demos. Furthermore, the program examines the powerful synergy between energy-harvesting PVs and advanced photodetectors, highlighting their transformative potential in wearable electronics, radiation monitoring, and artificial vision.
