PVSC 33 Closing Session
[San Diego, California USA] Including Outstanding Student Papers and Presentation Winners and Honorable mentions.
PVSC 33 has a record 1642 registrants.
Kicking off the closing session of the 33rd IEEE Photovoltaic Specialists Conference (PVSC 33) just after Noon on Friday, May 16, 2008, Conference Chair, Dr. Tim Coutts, began with a quip, thanked all the folks who helped make the conference possible, and deferred to the Student Paper Awards.
Here are the Outstanding Student Papers/Presentations recognized by PVSC 33. I’ve segmented these by Area Winners and Area Honorable mentions. The unique number (#) was assigned by PVSC 33 to identify each paper.

All the PVSC conference papers are expected to be available for download by conference attendees on Monday, May 19, 2008, from the PVSC 33 website.
After presentations regarding upcoming conferences:
- EU PVSEC - 23rd European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition
September 1-5, 2008
Valencia, Spain - PVSEC18 - 18th International Photovoltaic Science and Engineering Conference & Exhibition
January 19-23, 2009
Kolkata, India
Program Chair, Dr. Tim Anderson, reviewed the PVSC 33 statistics. There was record registration of 1642 attendees: 269 IEEE members, 845 non-IEEE members, 238 Students, 7 Press, and 283 Exhibitors. Only about 1000 attendees were registered 30 days before the conference opened. Abstract submissions were led by the United States (255), Germany (47), and Japan (44) from 577 total abstracts.
As mentioned in PVSC 33 Opens, the 34th IEEE Photovoltaic Specialists Conference (PVSC 34) will be co-located with the SEIA PV America Conference from June 6 - 11, 2009, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania USA.
To close the conference, Tim Coutts quoted former Prime Minster Tony Blair and said:
That’s it. The end.
I forgot to note a Blog milestone in the last post. On May 16, 2008, GUNTHER Portfolio turned two years old.
