IEA-PVPS – Technical Reports
The IEA Photovoltaic Power Systems Programme (PVPS) is one of the collaborative R&D Agreements 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.
As the Operating Agent (OA), TÜV Rheinland is responsible for leading the IEA PVPS Task 13 since year 2010.
