Advances on Solar Energy and Photovoltaic Devices

Dear Colleagues,

The maturity and implementation of photovoltaic solar technology has reached levels unthinkable just a few decades ago. However, there are still many unanswered items regarding the behavior of photovoltaic modules in terms of degradation and fault diagnosis. This special issue is aimed at collecting the latest advances that have been achieved that allow a better understanding of the degradation of photovoltaic devices as well as the design of algorithms and strategies that allow a better identification of typical failures that photovoltaic modules can suffer, allowing the earliest possible detection of them. In addition, a special attention must be made to energy storage devices focused on photovoltaic systems, because it is a challenging issue nowadays.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
