Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
According to the Sustainable Development Scenarios, the power generated by solar energy systems will constantly continue to increase. Scientists claim that, in the field of photovoltaics, the value of 720 TWh produced electric energy will grow to about 3300 TWh in 2030. Concentrated solar power (CSP) systems are also considered as one of the most dynamically developing energy sources, with energy produced in 2019 at the level of 15.6 TWh, and forecasted to reach 183.8 TWh in 2030. To make it happen, it is necessary to develop highly efficient systems of solar energy conversion, at prices available to the average user wishing to become a prosumer. Such an idea is connected with interdisciplinary research in the fields of material engineering, process management, designing of energy systems, and energy policy. It is important to make the use of technology as easy as possible in the processes of designing stand-alone and on-grid energy systems. This Special Issue is an opportunity to present new approaches in the field of material engineering for photovoltaics, power plants based on photovoltaic, small and micro-scale photovoltaic systems, solar energy storage, hybrid energy systems with photovoltaics, solar concentration systems, building integrated photovoltaics, photovoltaic hydrogen generation, solar-powered vehicles and policy and economy related to the topic. Both review articles and original research papers are invited for publication in this Special Issue.

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.
