Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The guest editor is inviting submissions to a Special Issue of Energies on the subject area of "Solar Cells, Circuits and Systems for PV Conversion". One of the most dynamically developing areas of science and technology is photovoltaics. In recent years, the efficiency of the photovoltaic effect and photovoltaic systems has been constantly increasing. In addition, the field of possible applications of photovoltaic conversion is becoming wider, e.g., photovoltaics in textronics. It is related to both the new technologies used for producing solar cells and new solutions of electronic systems participating in the process of converting electrical energy. These systems often use modern optimization algorithms and control methods. In addition, in photovoltaic systems, especially higher-power ones, it is important to store excess electricity, which results in the development of new battery technologies or the use of components such as supercapacitors.
This Special Issue will deal with the latest technologies related to the production of photovoltaic cells and testing the properties of PV cells, innovative electronic energy conversion systems ensuring a high efficiency when converting dc to ac and dc to dc energy used in photovoltaic systems, e.g., in inverters, methods of modeling cells, devices and photovoltaic systems, and technologies of energy storage obtained in PV systems. The presented topic of this Special Issue can also be extended to other interesting research areas related to the photovoltaic conversion of energy.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
