NCPV Hotline
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) PV Research program maintains an international communications system called the NCPV Hotline to increase knowledge and awareness of PV industry and research happenings. Hotline participants receive important news items via email related to PV activities around the world. The contents have been relatively uncensored, because we depend on the good judgment of the contributors to separate fact from rumor.
People joining the mailing list should be willing to contribute as well as receive important news items. Items considered for inclusion will include, but are not be limited to, important research results, new PV products, measurement techniques and results, codes and standards, company news (new production facilities, products, etc.), government program budgets, and other items of interest.
The intent of the NCPV Hotline is not to replace the several excellent PV newsletters and magazines, but rather to offer rapid communication of items of general interest to PV specialists around the world. Every contributor will be credited for his or her contribution, and comments are always welcome.
