The Photovoltaic Innovation Network is a partnership between the research community, industry, government, funding agencies and advocacy groups to foster and accelerate the widespread adoption of photovoltaics as a renewable energy resource in Canada
Our purpose is to provide a networking ground between industry members and researchers in the photovoltaic's community across nation.
The network aims to provide a knowledge and technology base that will help Canada compete globally in this rapidly growing sector. It will help develop new intellectual property in PV for adoption by Canadian industry to supply strong domestic demand currently met by foreign companies.
Our collaborative and
multi-disciplinary research program has the
specific objectives of increasing the device conversion efficiency
and/or reducing the device cost to make large scale PV deployment more
competitive against electricity generation from fossil fuels.

Stories From Our Highly Qualified Personnel (HQP)....
We recently held a series of Network events in Ottawa: our Annual Network Meeting, Scientific Conference, and Industry Workshop. It was an exciting and educational experience that included scientific presentations, discussions, posters, tours, and networking opportunities within the photovoltaics community. Many of our HQP attended the events and were asked to share their experiences, including answers to three burning questions they had. Click on their pictures below to see what some of them have to say!
