Scope

EES Solar is a premier interdisciplinary journal dedicated to publishing high-impact research focused on solar energy and photovoltaics. Building on the reputation of the companion journal Energy & Environmental Science for high quality and influence, EES Solar aims to be a leading publication for groundbreaking studies that span a wide range of scientific disciplines, all connected by the thread of solar. The journal welcomes studies and analyses at all scales, from groundbreaking fundamental advances to interdisciplinary research across chemistry, physics, materials science, engineering, theory, and policy and techno-economic analyses, for advancing the field of solar energy. Research that utilizes green materials and sustainable practices, championing developments that minimize environmental impact while achieving high performance is particularly encouraged.

EES Solar is the home for exceptional research that pushes the boundaries of solar research and its applications. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Solar cell and photovoltaic research
  • Solar fuels and artificial photosynthesis
  • Photocatalysts for energy and environmental applications
  • Photothermal and photoelectrochemical solar energy conversion
  • Photonics
  • Light-matter interaction and spectroscopy
  • Photovoltaic system design, solar power systems, and integration
  • Modelling, simulation, and theoretical studies including AI and machine learning
  • Policy work and techno-economic analyses

Our goal is to serve a diverse audience, including academic researchers, industry professionals, and policymakers, by providing a platform for influential, high-impact research that addresses both fundamental and applied aspects of solar energy and photovoltaics.

I am driven to advance the global transition to a sustainable energy future, and to shape EES Solar into a premier platform to exchange ideas and drive the progression of solar research.
