Presentations of Greg Smestad, Ph.D.


“Progress in Solar Energy to Address the Energy Crisis” at the International Conference and Exhibition on Renewables, “Technologies and Options for Securing Energy & Food Flows in View of the Ukrainian Crisis.” Download his slides (PDF) here. Download the abstract to the talk (PDF) here.


Optical Characteristics of PV Glass Coupons and PV Modules Related to Soiling Losses at PARC on at the IEEE Santa Clara Valley PhotoVoltaic Joint Society Chapter (formerly known as the Silicon Valley Photovoltaics Society, SVPVS). The slides can be downloaded from the IEEE website.

Dr. Smestad had also been invited to speak to the same group on January 15, 2015. The topic then was the use of solar energy technologies in emerging markets. Learn More
