Online PEARL PV Workshop WG1: PV Data Management and the PEARL Data Challenge

This is the webpage of the first online PEARL PV workshop in a series of 5, to were held in the winter of 2021-2022, which brought together researchers to discuss the next challenges in data management of PV monitoring data and PV performance assessments.

This workshop has been organized in the framework of WG1 of COST Action PEARL PV by dr. Atse Louwen (EURAC, Italy), dr. Carolin Ulbrich (Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin, Germany), dr. Eli Shirazi  (University of Twente, the Netherlands) and other colleagues, on the topic of “PV Data Management and the PEARL Data Challenge” on Thursday 2 December 2021 from 10:00h till 13:00h CET.

The full program of this online workshop is available here: PearlPV_CKAN_workshop_02.12.2021 Final
