IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics

The IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics (JPV) is a peer-reviewed archival publication reporting on original and significant research results in the field of photovoltaics (PV). The PV field is diverse, ranging from the science and engineering of PV materials and devices, to their application in cells, modules, photovoltaic generators, the design of systems of modules, and large-scale solar installations. Works describing enhancing PV reliability, and extending the system lifetime are welcome when PV is the focus. Manuscripts related to control and optimization of PV power-generation system performance are welcome where there is a direct relationship to the nature of the PV devices.

Tutorial and review papers on the above subjects are also published and occasionally special issues are produced to present a collection of papers which treat particular areas in more depth and breadth.  Special issues may also be published directly related to topics of interest to the PV community, for example the best works presented at the IEEE Photovoltaic Specialists Conference.

Submitting Manuscripts for Possible Publication in JPV

The PV field is diverse in its science base ranging from semiconductor and PV device physics to optics and the materials sciences. The journal publishes articles that connect this science base to PV science and technology. The intent is to publish original research results that are of primary interest to the photovoltaic specialist.

All contributed and invited paper submissions to the IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics must be submitted using IEEE’s web-based ScholarOne Author Submission and Peer Review System. Manuscripts submitted in any other way will be returned to the sender.

The use of artificial intelligence (AI)–generated text in an article shall be disclosed in the acknowledgments section of any paper submitted to an IEEE Conference or Periodical. The sections of the paper that use AI-generated text shall have a citation to the AI system used to generate the text.

Peer Review The articles in this journal are peer reviewed in accordance with the requirements set forth in the IEEE Publication Services and Products Board Operations Manual. Each published article was reviewed by a minimum of two independent reviewers using a single-blind peer review process, where the identities of the reviewers are not known to the authors, but the reviewers know the identities of the authors. Articles will be screened for plagiarism before acceptance.
