Title

The 2nd International Symposium on Nano-Wire Si Solar Cells
MEXT “FUTURE –PV Innovation” Project

Concept

　The “FUTURE-PV Innovation” (FUkushima Top-level United center for Renewable Energy research – PhotoVoltaics Innovation) Project was initiated in July, 2012 with the goal to develop the open and the most advanced research and development base in the world on renewable energies under the Basic Policy for Recovery and Reconstruction of Fukushima. Many excellent researchers from Japan and overseas gathered at Fukushima Renewable Energy Institute that was constructed in Koriyama, Fukushima, on April, 2014 and engage in unique and challenging research to realize nano-wire Si solar cells. The research outcomes of this facility in Fukushima will be widely transmitted throughout the world.

　The 2nd International symposium on Nano-Wire Si Solar Cells will be held to present the recent achievements in the project from the three teams involved in this project: “Super high quality Si crystal technology”, “Fabrication process for silicon nanowire and characterization” and “Nano-Wire solar cells”. It will consist of overviews from team leaders, poster presentations from team members, and invited presentations by leading scientists from international research organizations.

　We hope the International symposium will promote progress on Nano-wire Si solar cell technologies and foster international cooperation.
