Developments in new materials and advances in optical techniques are steadily improving the performance, reliability, and energy efficiency of solar energy conversion systems and large-area glazing components for many applications. Improvements in the efficiency and economics of solar cells are being made. Specialized coatings and surface treatments can improve the performance of solar energy devices such as photothermal converters, solar cells, photochemical and photoelectrochemical systems. New products are being developed that can manipulate, convert and transport light and energy. An important area of progress is in the development of CPC and nonimaging concentrator technology. Large-area chromogenic materials are emerging for building, automotive, aerospace, and marine applications. Developments are being made in optical instrumentation for the analysis of these materials. Research is moving forward in areas of new materials, theoretical modeling of materials, analysis, measurement, and large-scale production techniques for glass and plastic materials. Researchers in universities, industries, and national and international research institutions are urged to submit • papers on the following conference topics: -Chromogenics for smart windows -Selective materials -Solar concentrators, reflectors and antireflection coatings -Transparent insulation and super window materials -Photovoltaics, photochemistry and photoelectrochemistry -Sol-gel technology Symposium Chairs: Volker Wittwer (Freiburg, Germany), Claes-Goran Granqvist (Uppsala, Sweden) and Carl M. Lampert
