Emerging-PV – an online database for researchers in emerging photovoltaic technologies

We provide an open database for researchers world wide to list their findings in emerging photovoltaic technologies online. Our plots are interactive and provide additional information, such as a link to the corresponding research paper. Submit further research findings online by filling out our form, which also provides further data processing tools.

Our data is summarized in yearly surveys: “The Emerging-PV Reports”, published in the journal Advanced Energy Materials, as listed below:



Emerging-PV.org meets PV-magazine.de

PV-magazine.de recently published an article by Dr. Karen Forberich on the challenge of achieving standardized comparability and accelerating technological development in emerging photovoltaic (PV) technologies. Emerging PVs, which includes organic photovoltaics (OPV) and perovskite photovoltaics (PPV), is distinguished by its use of alternative light-absorbing materials and its potential for innovative applications due to properties like >>
