The IEA Photovoltaic Power Systems Programme (PVPS) is one of the Technology Collaboration Programmes (TCP) established within the IEA, and since its establishment in 1993, the PVPS participants have been conducting a variety of joint projects in the application of photovoltaic conversion of solar energy into electricity.
TÜV Rheinland is participating in IEA PVPS Task 13 since year 2010.
