Please join us at the Photovoltaic Reliability Workshop
March 2-4, 2027 | Golden, Colorado
About the Workshop
For decades, the Photovoltaic Reliability Workshop (PVRW) has brought together PV experts to share data on the design and durability of PV cells, modules, and systems. PVRW spans the full value chain including researchers, manufacturers, developers, asset owners, testing laboratories, insurers, universities, standards experts, and more.
PVRW is deliberately small to encourage active participation and open discussion. The workshop is a single track of invited oral presentations, panel discussions, and poster sessions. Attendance requires presenting a poster or an invited oral presentation. Each presenter receives a single-use code and a link that can be used to invite one colleague to register as a non-presenting attendee.
This year, PVRW will be held at a new location in historic downtown Golden, Colorado. Please book accommodations early as rooms in downtown Golden are limited.
We look forward to seeing you at PVRW 2027!
