Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Solar energy is a feasible renewable energy option used to meet power needs at a low cost. Thus, the search for methods to boost PV modules' efficiency and power production has intensified. Therefore, it is necessary to find efficient ways to harness the sun's energy and transform it into electricity using solar photovoltaics (PVs). Developing high-quality technology to make solar energy affordable for consumers and industries increases competitiveness in global markets. This Special Issue focuses on the cutting-edge solar and cell technologies that keep solar power in the energy spotlight.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:
- Bifacial solar panels;
- Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV);
- Concentration photovoltaic cells (CPVs);
- Heterojunction technology (HJT);
- Half-cell technology;
- Multi-junction solar cells;
- Perovskite solar cells;
- Crystalline silicon solar cells;
- Thin-film solar cells;
- Multijunction solar cells
- Organic solar cells;
- Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs).

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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.
