CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 40th IEEE
Photovoltaic Specialists Conference! The PVSC-40 takes
place June 8-13, 2014, at the Colorado Convention Center
in mile-high Denver, Colorado. Denver is a beautiful city with
sunny days for most of the year, and one of strong solar
importance, with many PV companies and the National
Renewable Energy Laboratory located nearby.
We are in the midst of a crucial time for energy management
on our planet. Environmental, climate change, and energy
security concerns are among the most pressing issues we face
today. Clearly, photovoltaics can be part of the solution. Public
awareness is growing that photovoltaics can shape energy
use patterns for future generations - much as the automobile
transformed transportation within a time span of 50 years - as
evidenced by the exponential rise in photovoltaic production
over the last decade. Science and technology developments
in PV over the next several years, and their influence on the
economics of PV installations, are likely to establish which
energy technologies become dominant for decades to come.
The purpose of our conference and our efforts to bring
the world’s brightest PV minds together is essentially an
educational mission. Our conference is here to exchange
information on the fundamental principles, materials science,
fabrication, characterization, and application of solar cells.
In this modest way, we strive to create a forum which
encourages discovery, advances understanding of all aspects
of photovoltaics, and hastens the widespread availability of
solar electricity and its multiple environmental, economic, and
political benefits for humankind. The chance to share and
discuss these crucial PV technologies, and what they mean
for accelerating PV deployment, is what the PVSC is all about.
Thank you for joining us in continuing the PVSC’s tradition
as the preeminent conference dedicated to the science and
technology of photovoltaics!
The Technical Program is divided into 12 areas covering the
range of important developments in PV, from fundamentals,
materials science, devices, systems and reliability, through
policy and PV deployment acceleration. In the PVSC’s oral
and poster presentations, you’ll be able to hear the latest
advances and breakthroughs in our field of photovoltaics. Our
Technical Program Committee members come from all over
the globe, and we are excited about making the PVSC an
ever more international conference, with major contributions
from all the continents of the world.
The Tutorials and Short Courses program, taught by
renowned experts in PV, is a great way to learn about a
fascinating area of PV that may be new to you, or strengthen
your foundation in a PV area you’ve been in for many years.
The PVSC-40 hosts a dynamic Exhibition for companies and
research labs to showcase their latest PV characterization,
research, and manufacturing advances, bringing scientists
and technologists together with leading PV industries and
organizations. We are resuming our popular Solar Day in
2014, with many organizations showing how they are making
solar electricity a reality in Colorado, and providing a model of
PV acceleration for other communities.
40th IEEE PHOTOVOLTAIC SPECIALISTS CONFERENCE
We will have some fun too. We’ll have Evening Poster
Sessions for the first time at the conference on Tuesday night,
with a reception-style dinner so you can feed mind and body at
the same time. The Social Program has organized trips to see
some of the best that Denver and nearby areas of Colorado
have to offer for both attendees and companions, including
touring Red Rocks, the chance to paint your own canvas, and
hikes in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. The Conference
Dinner will be held in the breathtaking architectural space of
the Hamilton Building of the Denver Art Museum. This event
promises to be an evening of good art, music, food, and
friends. I hope to see you there!
On behalf of the Organizing, Cherry, and International
Committees, welcome to Denver and the 40th IEEE PVSC!

RECOGNITION OF DR. MORTON B. PRINCE
RECOGNITION OF DR. MORTON B.
PRINCE
(Bell Labs Pioneer and PV Leader)
The confluence of the 40th
IEEE PVSC and the 60th
Anniversary of the Bell
Telephone
Laboratories
discovery of the modern
solar cell provides us with
a unique opportunity to
recognize one of our most
distinguished members of
the world PV community. As
a MIT graduate student, Dr.
Morton Prince was recruited
by William Shockley to
join Bell Labs and their
development of the relatively
new “transistor”.
While
Mort was involved with the investigation of minority-carrier
properties in these devices, he was approached by fellow
group member, Gerald Pearson, about some incredible
progress he was leading with this other new Bell device
opportunity — the solar cell. In the late fall of 1953, Mort
joined Pearson with responsibilities for characterization
and device applications — and a seminal publication about
the performance potential of the Si solar cell. History and
Mort’s contributions to photovoltaics thereafter speak for
themselves! He left Bell Labs in 1956 to become Director
of R&D at Hoffman Electronics (Semiconductor Division),
leading the efforts to establish PV as the “power of choice”
for space applications with the first solar power satellite,
Vanguard, in 1958. Mort Prince has had an incredible career
in semiconductor electronics — and led the growth of PV as
the ERDA and DOE manager for this technology from 1975
to 1993. In 1994, he was recognized with the European
Becquerel Prize for Outstanding Merits in Photovoltaics. The
world PV community owes a lot to Mort. This year, the IEEE
PVSC is especially proud to have this special recognition of
Dr. Morton B. Prince for his leadership and his pioneering and
outstanding contributions to our PV technology.
40th IEEE PHOTOVOLTAIC SPECIALISTS CONFERENCE
WILLIAM R. CHERRY AWARD
This award is named in honor of William R. Cherry, a founder of
the photovoltaic community. In the 1950’s, he was instrumental
in establishing solar cells as the ideal power source for space
satellites and for recognizing, advocating, and nurturing
the use of photovoltaic systems for terrestrial applications.
The William R. Cherry award was instituted in 1980, shortly
after his death. The purpose of the award is to recognize an
individual engineer or scientist who devoted a part of his/
her professional life to the advancement of the science and
technology of photovoltaic energy conversion. The nominee
must have made significant contributions to the science and/
or technology of PV energy conversion, with dissemination
by substantial publications and presentations. Professional
society activities, promotional and/or organizational efforts,
and achievements are not considerations in the election for
the award.
This award is presented at each IEEE Photovoltaic Specialists
Conference. The recipient is selected by the William R. Cherry
Committee, which is composed of past PVSC conference
chairpersons and past recipients of the award. Those
nominated for the award do not participate in the process.
To be eligible for the award, the nominee must currently be
active in the science and technology of PV conversion. He/
she must have been active in the field for an extended period
with the expectation of continued activity. Short-term activities
in the field, and/or single outstanding contributions are not
sufficient to make a person eligible for the award.

THIS YEAR THE WILLIAM R. CHERRY AWARD
WILL BE PRESENTED TO:
DR. RONALD A. SINTON
Ronald A. Sinton is founder and
president of Sinton Instruments,
based in Boulder, Colorado.
Ron received his PhD in Applied
Physics from Stanford University
in 1987, following a B.S. in
Engineering Physics from the
University of Colorado in 1981.
His studies at Stanford University
included the demonstration of
28%-efficient silicon concentrator
solar cells, the physics of highinjection solar cells, detailed
device modeling, measurements
of Auger recombination, and
the test and measurement of concentrator solar cells. As a
Research Associate at Stanford, Ron developed simplified
versions of the sophisticated point-contact solar cell designs
that could maintain the high efficiency while minimizing
the process complexity. He continued this work during the
early years of SunPower Corporation, focusing on solar cell
designs and manufacturing processes potentially suitable for
commercialization.
Dr. Sinton founded Sinton Consulting in 1992. The
company soon focused on the development of novel test
and measurement instruments. This work resulted in many
fruitful, and very international, collaborations and research
papers. Innovations from Sinton Instruments that have
become standard within the R&D community and the silicon
manufacturing industry include the QSSPC lifetime technique,
Suns-Voc measurements, and novel methodologies for
measuring the efficiency of high-efficiency solar cells and
modules.
Dr. Sinton has maintained his special interest in the device
physics of silicon solar cells. Running a metrology company
has proven to be an effective way to be at the center of
both of the R&D and manufacturing communities, offering
opportunities to contribute at the most technical academic
level as well as providing instrumentation to support tens of
GWs of silicon solar cell and module production.
Ron received the R&D 500 award in 2005 for developing
instruments for measuring bulk lifetime in silicon ingots and
bricks. He is well published and has coauthored 4 book
chapters. He is an associate editor of the IEEE Journal of
Photovoltaics and has frequently presented tutorials on
silicon solar cells and device physics at the IEEE PVSC
conferences, first in 1988 and as recently as 2013. Ron is
a frequent contributor to conference program committees;
especially the IEEE PVSC, the NREL Silicon Workshop, and
the SiliconPV conference.
Congratulations, Dr. Sinton!

40th IEEE PHOTOVOLTAIC SPECIALISTS CONFERENCE
THIS YEAR THE IEEE PVSC YOUNG
PROFESSIONAL AWARD
WILL BE PRESENTED TO:
DR. OLIVER SCHULTZ-WITTMANN
On behalf of the organizing
and
program
committees
of the 40th IEEE PVSC, I
am delighted to announce
the recipient of this year’s
award—Dr. Oliver SchultzWittmann. He is recognized for
his outstanding achievements
in
the
development
of
silicon solar cells, including
the
current
world-record
multicrystalline cell (20.4%)
and high-efficiency, low-cost
crystalline cells developed for
commercialization by a recently-acquired start-up company.
Dr. Oliver Schultz-Wittmann started his work in the PV field in
1998 helping with rooftop installations while studying Physics
at the University of Hamburg, Germany, where he received
his diploma in Physics in 2001. His graduate thesis topic was
the manufacturing and characterization of selective emitter
structures on crystalline silicon solar cells in cooperation
with the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE in
Freiburg, Germany. In 2002, he began his doctoral thesis on
high-efficiency multicrystalline silicon solar cells at Fraunhofer
ISE. The highlight of his work was demonstrating cells made
from this material with conversion efficiencies greater than
20%, a record that still stands today. Oliver worked with
industrial partners on several high-efficiency concepts,
including laser-grooved buried contact cells and interdigitated
back contact structures, before leading the high-efficiency
cell group from 2007-2008. In 2009, Oliver co-founded the
Silicon Valley start-up company TetraSun which was acquired
by First Solar in 2013 for their launch of crystalline silicon
solar cell production. He has five issued patents and is an
active peer-reviewer for several journal publications and the
IEEE Photovoltaic Specialists Conference. Oliver received
the Solar World Junior Einstein Award in 2006 and is a coawardee of the R&D 100 award of 2013.
Attendees of PVSC 40 - Be sure to check out a special talk by
Dr. Schultz-Wittman taking place in the Area 4 oral session on

40th IEEE PHOTOVOLTAIC SPECIALISTS CONFERENCE
IN MEMORIAM
John “Bill” Yerkes, a solar
pioneer
considered
the
“father of terrestrial PV”,
died on January 29, 2014
in Santa Barbara from an
adenocarcinoma. He was
79.
Yerkes was an innovator and
entrepreneur in PV for his
entire life. He got his solar
start as designer/manager
of the Boeing Spacecraft
test facility in Kent, WA. His
supplier of sun-simulators,
Spectrolab, hired him as
General Manager to further
develop flashers and search
lights. As President, he led
the development of solar arrays for Apollo 11 and his signature
– among other key contributors’ - is still on the moon. When
he left Spectrolab, Yerkes looked for ways to use solar
energy on earth and founded Solar Technology International
in 1973, where he scaled up low-cost processes such as
POCl diffusion and screen printing. The purchase by oil giant
Atlantic Richfield in 1979 allowed Yerkes’ company to become
the world’s #1 cell and module producer out of Chatsworth
and Camarillo, CA, where today’s essential solar module
components were born. Markets included an alternative to
thermoelectric power for telecom, aids to navigation, cathodic
protection, vaccine refrigeration, water pumping and lighting
in developing countries. Charlie Gay, who was VP of R&D
under Yerkes and later ARCO Solar’s President recalls “Bill
was magical. His raw, positive enthusiasm was contagious.”
ARCO Solar’s ownership transitioned over the years to
Siemens, Shell and 10 years ago to German giant SolarWorld,
who still runs the largest solar cell and panel production in the
USA out of Hillsboro, OR.
In the early 90’s, Yerkes returned to Seattle to build Boeing’s
High Tech Center and later to lead the power systems division
of Teledesic’s ambitious broadband satellite constellation
program. More recently, Yerkes co-founded Solaicx to develop
novel continuous-growth Czochralski pullers delivering record
productivity, and its ingot production operation in Portland,
OR, is still growing today under Sun Edison’s ownership.
Yerkes’ passion beyond solar included wine and great food,
art, Formula 1 and his family. His natural hands-on skills and
just-do-it attitude inspired many people to become passionate
about solar and launch careers in photovoltaics. Richard
Swanson, SunPower Corp.’s founder and long-time friend
says “Bill had a unique ability to form lifelong friendships with
his former employees and partners.”
Yerkes is survived by his wife Sara, his daughter Kari Hummel
and three grandchildren.

PVSC HIKE
7:30 AM (Hyatt Lobby)
The more difficult hike will be Mt. Quandary the 13 tallest
peak in Colorado at 14,265 ft. (4348 m) is 6.75 miles long
with an elevation gain of 3450 ft. The trial is as easy as it gets
for mountains over 14,000 ft. and is very popular. At 14,265
feet, Quandary Peak is the highest mountain in the Ten mile
Range, its massive bulk and sweeping east ridge rising above
the range like a huge behemoth from the deep. Breaking
through tree line, a sharp, long neighboring ridge follows you
as you head west. The summit pitch comes into view fairly
soon after you leave the trees, looking like a massive pyramid
that is often graced with snow well into the summer.

TECHNICAL PROGRAM
PROGRAM CHAIR GREETING
On behalf of the Technical
Program Committee, I am happy
and honored to welcome you
to the 40th IEEE Photovoltaic
Specialists
Conference
to
experience
the
latest
achievements in photovoltaics
research, development, and
applications. At the PVSC-40
you will find many topics which
connect to the full spectrum of PV,
ranging from material science to
building integrated PV and from
device performance to education
and workforce development. As such I am hopeful that the
PVSC-40 will offer a great platform to everyone involved in the
exciting and still growing field of PV - a platform that enables you
to connect with your colleagues, share information, learn from
each other’s results, discuss and take steps towards new future
developments.
For the PVSC-40, we have expanded the number of technical
areas to twelve. Descriptions of each area are presented to
you in this Yellow Book and on the conference website. At the
PVSC-40 we will continue to promote the cross-technology area
focused on Reliability of PV, successfully introduced in 2013 and
led by Dr. Sarah Kurtz of NREL. Moreover, we introduce another
new interdisciplinary technical area ‘PV Deployment’ which
is chaired by Dr. Martha Symko-Davies of NREL. This novel
area will focus on technical, economic, and political challenges
associated with high penetration of PV systems in electricity
grids and in our society. Adding to this, a new area has been
developed in the field of PV Modules and Manufacturing, which
is led by Dr. Pierre Verlinden of Trina Solar in China. This area
will pay attention to innovations in manufacturing. Finally we
would like to point your attention to the renewed area on organic
photovoltaics chaired by Moritz Riede of the University of Oxford.
This area has gone through a complete transformation, drawing
together expertise from chemistry, materials, physics and
engineering to better match with ongoing exciting developments
in this interdisciplinary field of organic PV.
Moreover we strengthened the Technical Program by early
involvement and announcement of more than 40 Featured
Speakers and by introducing 13 joint sessions between various
Areas. This year the PVSC-40 received a record number of
more than 1100 abstracts which lead to a Technical Program
of more than 360 Oral presentations, and more than 670
Poster presentations. Besides publications of papers in the
Conference Proceedings, we are continuing the very popular
option of offering authors who have submitted particularly high
quality PVSC review abstracts to submit their research results
as a manuscript to IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics (J-PV). This
path allowed 155 authors to enjoy both the PVSC conference
experience as well as receiving a peer review citation from a
highly regarded journal.
On behalf of the Technical Program Committee I wish you a
great PVSC-40!

Co-Chairs:
Ron Sinton, Sinton Instruments, USA
Mariana Bertoni, ASU, USA
Donghwan Kim, Korea University, Korea
Area 4 Description
Crystalline silicon photovoltaics is the dominant solar cell
technology, with a market share of around 85% in 2012. Silicon
is non-toxic and abundantly available in the earth’s crust;
silicon PV modules have proven their long-term stability over
decades in the field. The price reduction of silicon modules
in the last 30 years can be described very well by a learning
factor of 20%. Due to strong competition, this price decline was
even stronger in the last years, resulting in module prices well
below $1/W. This is an excellent situation for customers and
PV installers, but rather challenging for producers of silicon
solar cells and modules. Thus, cost reduction is still a major
task. The cost distribution of a crystalline silicon PV module
is clearly dominated by material costs, especially by the cost
of the silicon wafer. Therefore, besides improved production
technologies, the efficiency of the cells and modules is the
main leverage to bring down the cost even more, especially
when considering the full levelized cost of PV electricity. Area
4 of the 40th IEEE PVSC presents contributions reporting on
all aspects of crystalline silicon technology, encompassing
the whole value chain, as well as fundamental and scientific
aspects.

Liaison Co-Chair:
Yang Yang, UCLA, CA, USA
Area 6 Description
This focus area covers the latest scientific and technical
progress for a broad range of solar cells that fall in the
category Organic Photovoltaics (OPV). OPV has continued
to show tremendous progress in the past years. Solar cell
efficiencies have rocketed to well above 10% and operating
lifetimes have reached more than 10 years. Based on
abundant materials and scalable coating technologies,
OPV shows potential for low-cost, lightweight, and flexible
solar power generation. Based on these prospects, many
companies around the world are putting considerable efforts
towards commercializing OPV. Organic photovoltaics – a
prime example of interdisciplinary research drawing together
expertise from chemistry, materials, physics, and engineering
– will soon have to prove its viability in the market.
Despite this remarkable progress, much of the underlying
physical processes and their limitations have yet to be
better understood. Similarly, scale-up in manufacturing
volume has proven challenging for fast progress towards
commercialization. The goal of this focus area is to
address these issues, ranging from fundamental science to
technological advances.

generators, and thus advances in space PV technologies
contribute significantly to improvement of spacecraft
performance. Space engineering including PV is one of the
most important key technologies which contribute to national
security. On the other hand, the size of space industry is not
sufficient to stand and maintain activities in a country or an

It is impossible to understand innovation in science
without considering the support from measurements and
characterization. Measurements are needed at all different
levels of R&D and production – from investigating the
operating principles of solar cells to developing standards for
the performance of installed photovoltaic (PV) systems. The
relationship between structure, physical properties, and the
resulting PV performance is a challenge in materials science
and engineering. Reliable and precise determination of the
efficiency and thus power of solar cells and PV modules is
crucial for the successful widespread deployment of PV and
an ongoing challenge for flat-plate and concentrating PV
technologies. Area 8 present the latest full range of scientific
and technological challenges in the field of characterization
of photovoltaics.

Area 9 Description
Advances in PV module engineering and manufacturing
have been remarkable and their impact in lowering levelized
cost of energy (LCOE) is significant. The world requires
safer PV modules with more embedded services, including
safety switch disconnect, ground-fault protection, monitoring
services, maximum power point (MPP) trackers, power
optimizers or micro-inverters. New materials for PV modules
are introduced on a regular basis and require new testing
methods for characterization. New assembly technologies
are proposed. PV module modeling is getting more
sophisticated including mechanical, thermal and electrical
models, sometimes combined. Customers require better
energy prediction and energy rating of the modules. Papers
that describe advancement in PV module design, technology
and modeling to improve cost, safety, energy performance,
monitoring, are sought in this Area. This Area also presents
papers related to improvements in manufacturing along the
entire production chain of PV, from raw material to modules,
including automation, inline monitoring, statistical process
control, manufacturing plant design, cost models and cost
prediction.

optimized designs, balance of system components, and more
efficient installation and maintenance methods. Our focus
is on the various aspects of PV system installations, from
performance predictions to long term maintenance, power
plants to remote off-grid supplies, DC module optimizers to
multi-MW inverters, and ramping signal controls to enhanced
fire protection. Area 10 covers resource and performance
assessment, system design and implementation, component
technologies, and off-grid and advanced applications. We are
particularly interested in advancements and innovation driven
by utility requirements, developer demand, and changes to

Area 12 Description
As the PV industry has grown, it has become increasingly
critical to have confidence in the long-term reliability and
performance of the GWs of PV, representing billions of dollars
or euros investment. This topic cuts across all technologies
and throughout the supply chain. Topics especially critical
to the success of the PV industry include: an up-to-date
understanding of what is being observed for deployed
products, the physics behind observed degradation/failure
modes, and the quantitative correlation between accelerated
test results and outcomes seen in the field as a function of
site climate and installation method in order to move toward
statistical service life predictions.
Area 12 presents papers on detailed scientific research
studies and visionary papers addressing a full range of topics
including: Field Experiences, Correlation of Accelerated
Testing and Field Performance, Manufacturing Quality
Assurance, PV Safety Issues, Cell Level Reliability Issues
and Reliability Techniques for Application to PV.
