The Asia-Pacific Solar Research Conference (APSRC) is one of the region’s most influential gatherings for researchers, innovators, industry professionals and academics working in solar and renewable energy. The 2025 APSRC brings together experts from universities, research labs and industry organisations to share the latest advancements in photovoltaic devices, concentrating solar thermal systems, solar fuels and integration technologies.
Held annually, APSRC stands as a key platform for collaboration, presenting new findings, exploring technological breakthroughs and shaping the future direction of solar energy across the Asia-Pacific region.
The theme for APSRC 2025 is “Information, Communication and Integration.”
This theme highlights the growing need for technologies and research that connect different parts of the energy ecosystem from generation to storage, distribution and efficient consumption.
The conference focuses on how solar energy can be better integrated into modern grids, how data and communication tools can improve forecasting and management, and how next-generation materials and technologies will reshape the renewable energy landscape.
APSRC 2025 plays an essential role in fostering collaboration, innovation and knowledge exchange. Here’s why it stands out:
Showcases regional research excellence, uniting Australia’s key solar research groups under one platform.
Connects young researchers with industry leaders, which enables career-building insights and networking.
Supports the next generation of innovation through poster sessions, student financial assistance and peer-reviewed presentations.
Includes industry workshops that highlight practical, real-world applications such as PV manufacturing, recycling, circular economy and space PV.
Aligns academic research with future market needs which ensures that breakthroughs move beyond the lab into scalable solutions.
APSRC 2025 spans four major academic streams, each representing a crucial area of solar research:
Exploring advancements in silicon, tandem and emerging materials, device physics, module integration and efficiency breakthroughs.
Covering grid-level integration, forecasting, firm power management, renewable-enabled industry processes and energy system modelling.
Insights into solar-powered buildings, PVT (photovoltaic-thermal) systems, high-efficiency heating and cooling technology and low-carbon building design.
Research into CSP systems, thermal energy storage, high-temperature materials and solar-driven chemical processes for fuels and industrial heat.
Additionally, the conference includes industry workshops on PV recycling, PV manufacturing, space PV, renewable heat for industry, PVT and low-carbon lighting solutions.
