EPJ Photovoltaics

EPJ Photovoltaics publishes in Open Access, original, peer-reviewed papers focused on the field of photovoltaic solar energy conversion. Authors in the field of crystalline, polycrystalline, thin film (silicon, CIGS, organic) and third generation PV are invited to submit their research for high quality peer-review, a fast publication and broad audience. The journal promotes the interaction with research topics related to high efficiency cells (optical trapping, tandem), third generation concepts, advanced characterization, theory and modeling, new elaboration processes, social and economical issues.

EPJ Photovoltaics promotes and supports papers and special issues that contribute to the achievement of the UN's sustainable development goals, in particular SDG 7 (Affordable and clean energy) and SDG 13 (Climate Action).
