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.  

The articles in this journal are peer reviewed in accordance with the requirements set forth in the  IEEE PSPB Operations Manual (sections 8.2.1.C & 8.2.2.A). Each published article was reviewed by a minimum of two independent reviewers using a single-anonymous 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.

Corresponding authors from low-income countries are eligible for waived or reduced open access APCs
