IEEE光伏期刊是一份經過同行評審的檔案出版物，報告了推動光伏領域發展的原創和重要研究成果。光伏領域的科學基礎是多樣的，從半導體和光伏器件物理到光學和材料科學。該雜志發表的文章將這個科學基地與光伏科學和技術聯系起來。其目的是發布光伏專家主要感興趣的原始研究結果。

The IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics is a peer-reviewed, archival publication reporting original and significant research results that advance the field of photovoltaics (PV). The PV field is diverse in its science base ranging from semiconductor and PV device physics to optics and the materials sciences. The journal publishes articles that connect this science base to PV science and technology. The intent is to publish original research results that are of primary interest to the photovoltaic specialist.
