PVinMotion

PVinMotion is the world’s first scientific conference dedicated to vehicle-integrated photovoltaics. The conference brings together renowned experts from both the PV and the automotive world to showcase innovative work and accelerate the progress toward solar powered transportation: 

• Researchers from all VIPV-related areas
• Module and material producers
• Technology and electronics suppliers
• Designers, advisors, finance & business

VIPV research and industry are at the start of an exciting ride, with unprecedented momentum for technical advances and market growth. Come explore the cutting-edge technologies, concepts, and examples for integrating PV into different vehicles.  

PVinMotion Conference is the first of its kind platform for scientists and researchers in PV and materials, vehicle manufacturers, module producers, electronics and materials suppliers, consultants, advisers and designers to meet, to network and to exchange ideas.

• The first edition of the conference - PVinMotion 2021 - was held online from December 6-8, 2021.
• The second edition of the conference - PVinMotion 2023 - took place, in-person in ’s-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands, and online, from February 15-17, 2023.
• The third edition of the conference - PVinMotion 2024 - was held in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, from March 6-8, 2024.

Learn more about the VIPV Potential

Vehicle Integrated Photovoltaics (VIPV) is the mechanical, electrical and design integration of photovoltaic modules in vehicles. The PV modules fit seamlessly into the vehicle shell and are connected to electrical consumers or the drive battery in electric vehicles. What potential lies dormant in VIPV? Where is VIPV already being used? And what are currently still the biggest hurdles? Dr. Martin Heinrich, Fraunhofer ISE, tells us in his podcast.
