Conference Proceedings
You are invited to submit a full paper (6 pages) for inclusion in the SiliconPV conference proceedings. The proceedings are an important part of the conference and we are expecting each presentation to be accompanied by a full paper. The proceedings will be published in Energy Procedia, an open-access online platform of Elsevier indexed by important databases as ISI Web of Science. All papers published in Energy Procedia feature individual DOI numbers and are therefore fully citable. Further information is to be found on the conference website www.siliconpv.com.
The manuscript must be uploaded to the conference website as a word document (.doc/.docx) by April 20, 2011 the latest! Papers which are not meeting the requirements or which are not uploaded on time can not be considered for the proceedings.
