Date: Thu. November 4th, 2004, 4:30 pm-5:30 pm
Location: Schmitt Auditorium

Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology has advanced rapidly since the crystalline-silicon solar cell of a half-century ago. Have we arrived at our final destination? No, not yet. This presentation examines the current, near-term, and next-generation PV technologies-looking back to where we have been and forward to where we are going – and provides a critical evaluation of our needed research directions.
