Join Us and Your Colleagues and World Experts and Your Friends in New Orleans!

I am delighted to extend an invitation for you to join us at the 54th IEEE Photovoltaic Specialists Conference the week of June 7-12, 2026. We will be hosting the conference in vibrant New Orleans, Louisiana. From its jazz-filled streets to its rich blend of cultures and world-famous cuisine, New Orleans embodies the spirit of creativity and transformation.

The IEEE Photovoltaic Specialists Conference features a world-class technical program across twelve topical areas, including a new area on industrial development. Attendees will hear from leading keynote, plenary, and invited speakers sharing the latest breakthroughs in PV science, engineering, manufacturing, and policy. Our popular Sunday tutorials offer valuable learning opportunities for both newcomers and seasoned professionals, while the exhibition area showcases cutting-edge innovations in materials, characterization, and manufacturing. These events will be complemented by rich opportunities to connect, whether in person or online, fostering new collaborations, lasting friendships, and renewed ties.

On behalf of the more than 100 volunteers who comprise the PVSC Organizing, Technical, Cherry, and International Committees, we look forward to personally welcoming you to the 54th IEEE PVSC!
