Introduction
The proceedings of the contributions presented at the 7th European Photovo1taic
Conference in Sevilla, Spain are presented here. The conference was held in the
ci ty of Sevi11 a, exp 1i cit 1y to welcome Spai nand Portugal into the European
Communi ty. Both countri es provi de excellent condi ti ons for the app 1i cati on of
photovo1taics and have made significant contributions to solar energy research.
The province of And-a1usia, of which Sevilla is the capital, represents the
biggest market for smale scale photovo1taic systems today. An excursion
organized by the local committee to a village with many photovo1taic farm houses
provided an opportunity for direct contacts with users of photovo1taics.
The Conference was attended by 520 people from 39 nations. The biggest contin-
gent this time came from the Federal Republic of Germany followed by France ~nd
Spai n. Thi s attendence was hi gher than at the previ ous meeti ngs and suggests
that there is new optimism about photovo1taics.
Altogether there were 234 presentations, 46 oral papers, 14 invited papers and
174 posters. They covered all aspects of photovo1taic, materials research, cell
techno logy for thi n fil m and bu1 k crysta 11 i ne materi a1 s as well as systems
technology including tests and trials. Significant progress was achieved in all
fields.
The next European Photovo ltai c Conference wi 11 take place in Spri ng 1988 in
Florence, Italy. The one following that in the Autumn of 1989 will be held in
the Federal Republic of Germany.
