The proposed NSERC Photovoltaic Innovation Network is comprised of 29 top scientists and engineers working in the field of advanced solar cell research, in 13 universities across Canada. The Network has strong support from partners in the private and public sector in Canada, who together aim to raise the status of solar photovoltaics (PV) as a renewable energy option in Canada by accelerating research and development, thereby translating this work into successful commercialization outcomes. In particular, the Network will develop new Intellectual Property in PV for adoption by Canadian industry to supply strong domestic demand (currently met by foreign companies) and to compete in a rapidly growing global marketplace. The Network will intensively train 88 research personnel over 5 years, providing highly skilled and creative employees to fill positions in industry and academia. PV cells convert light from the broad solar spectrum directly to electricity, with the
