This year’s COMSOL conference in Rotterdam focuses on spreading the advantages of simulation through multiphysics analysis and specialized simulation apps. Thousands of attendees from around the world will share their experiences with modeling and building apps.

The 7th Workshop on Metallization and Interconnection for Crystalline Silicon Solar Cells, 2017 is underway, and will take place in Konstanz on October 23 and 24, 2017. Experts in the field from all over the world will discuss status, trends and new directions.

The International Solar Energy Society, ISES, Solar World Congress 2017, will be held at the Jumeirah Hotel at Etihad Towers in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE) from 29 October to 02 November 2017. For the first time the ISES Solar World Congress will be held together with the IEA Solar Heating and Cooling Programme's SHC2017 conference.

The 5th IEA SHC International Conference on Solar Heating and Cooling for Buildings and Industry, SHC 2017 will be held at the Jumeirah Hotel at Etihad Towers in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE) from 29 October to 02 November 2017.

The International Workshop on Solar Air Conditioning will already be held for the 7th time. It will give the floor to the new generation of solar cooling systems based on the coupling between PV and air conditioning systems as well as the diversification of usage of the solar heat beyond simply cooling: domestic hot water, space heating, process heat, heating for networks.

This comprehensive Congress examines the frontiers in the development of optical technologies for energy production, transmission, monitoring and use. This Congress is designed to bring together researchers, engineers, and managers to foster timely information exchange between the disciplines involved in these fields.

The 27th International Photovoltaic Science and Engineering Conference (“PVSEC-27”) will be held at Lake Biwa Otsu Prince Hotel, in Otsu Japan from 12 to 17 of November, 2017. It will be the largest and most comprehensive PV conference in 2017 in the Asia-Pacific region.

The 8th BC workshop on back contact solar cell and module technology will be held from 21 - 22 November 2017 in the ETAGE Conference Center, which is situated on the 1st floor of the Solar Info Center, next to the "Messe" in Freiburg. The workshop is hosted by Fraunhofer ISE.

Solar Research Institute of HIT ,Fraunhofer ISE and Sandia National Laboratories are co-organizing the 9th PV Performance Modeling Collaborative (PVPMC) Workshop to be held in Weihai, China (5th - 6th December 2017). Technical tours will be offered on Thursday,7th of December at Solar Research Institute of HIT and at a PV greenhouse plant at Weihai. This workshop brings together solar PV professionals and researchers to learn about and discuss new and important technical issues related to PV performance modeling. This workshop will be stimulating, interactive, and provide valuable information for modelers, model developers, and other users of PV performance model results. Simultaneous translation for Chinese and English will be offered for the workshop.
