5 reasons to join the first AfricaPVSEC		 pfeil

  1. Solar PV electricity is now the cheapest electricity option for more than 1/3 of the African population.

  2. Africa PVSEC provides the South African platform for the exchange of best practices as well as for scientific exchange in various areas of solar research and implementation.

  3. In the coming years, Africa will depend mainly on the import of solar components, but based on current activities there will develop an African PV cell and module industry.

  4. SMEs need local partners with whom they can build their business. Africa PVSEC offers SMEs the possibility to showcase their own strength and search for such a partner.

  5. The programme is divided into three topics, all necessary for a successful adaptation and deployment of the PV technology on the African Continent:

    • Academia and company research groups presenting and discussing their latest results for further improvement of PV systems

    • Presentation of technical details of best practice examples in Africa

    • The third topic will cover the "Enabling Environment", i.e. political, regulatory, actual resources and financing conditions in Africa


Submitted requests for presentations on the occasion of the AfricaPVSEC (abstracts) represent 111 organisations from 38 countries		 pfeil




The number of received abstracts indicate a good balance of the 3 topics: PV Technologies, Cells, Modules, Systems obtained 38% of the submissions; Enabling Environment (Economical) 32% and Technical Implementation and Standardisation 30%.

Analysis demonstrates a wide international scope: authors represent 111 organisations from 38 countries. 29% of the submitting organisations originate from the Africa Continent and North Africa is represented with 13% of the total number of abstracts received. The US participated with 8% and South Africa, as host country, with 6%.

The abstracts are currently being reviewed and scored by an international Scientific Committee under the coordination and the guidance of Arnulf Jäger-Waldau, of the European Commission, DG JRC.

The Conference programme will be published online in February 2014.
