Welcome to CPTIC 2013

Welcome to CPTIC 2013, one of the largest and best quality annual photovoltaic technology conferences in China. CPTIC is organized by SEMI, co-organized by China Photovoltaic Industrial Alliance (CPIA). CPTIC 2013 will be held on March 20-22, 2013 in Shanghai, China, in conjunction with SOLARCON China / SEMICON China / FPD China 2013 exhibitions. It will have six symposia covering all the aspects of photovoltaic technology and manufacturing, business and policies.

The mission of the conference is to promote technical and business exchange on all photovoltaic industry including but not limited to, market, policy, power grid, technical roadmap, device, design, process, tooling, materials, and fundamental study between China and the rest of the world with a focus on industrial applications. CPTIC encourages IP enforcement in China and provides opportunities for parties who are interested in investing and collaboration in the photovoltaic industry in Asia, particularly in China.

Important Information for Authors

Prospective authors are requested to submit an abstract of 200-500 words and a 100 word biography by Oct. 30, 2012. The abstract must clearly describe the nature, scope, content, organization, key points and significance of the proposed paper, using the templates on the website.

Presentations are to be original, non-commercial in that they focus on the technical business merits of a design, a method, a structure, an integration scheme, a material or a process rather than on the individual company’s product benefits. All abstracts will be reviewed by CPTIC committees. Selected speakers will be notified no later than Nov. 30, 2012.

Manuscripts of three to six pages including diagrams, figures, and photographs, are to be submitted electronically via the Semi website. The deadline for manuscript submittal is Jan. 10, 2013. English oral presentation materials are required by Feb. 10, 2013. Accepted papers for publication in conference proceedings are subject to co-copyright with SEMI, who reserves the right to republish, re-sell, and display submitted material in whole or in part.

Recap of CPTIC 2012

CPTIC 2012 and associated programs closed its curtain successfully in March 21-22, attracting over 150 high-profile speakers and more than 1,000 professional attendees. Professor Martin Green and a number of global solar experts gave eloquent presentations on the latest trends, cutting-edge technologies and roadmaps for China PV market. CEO of the top solar makers and key policy makers offered panel discussion, and technical workshop was hold for silicon technology manufacturing. Dedicated programs for solar standard and roadmap were also conducted, providing a premier venue for industry professionals to learn and share knowledge on new and “best practice” PV manufacturing issues and concepts.
