To further promote the exchange and cooperation of solar thermal power generation and related technologies, the CSTA plans to organize the 19th China Solar Thermal Power Generation Conference in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, in August 2025. The conference, evolved from the "Sanya International Forum on Solar Thermal Power Generation Technology" held in 2007, continues with the theme of "Promoting the Industrial Development of Solar Thermal Power Generation through Technological Innovation." Academician Xu Jianzhong, the permanent honorary chairman of the conference and a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, stated that the China Solar Thermal Power Generation Conference is the most authoritative and influential solar technology event in China, and its impact has played a significant role in promoting the development of solar thermal power generation technology and industry in China and around the world.
To gather more research and application achievements related to solar thermal power generation, the conference is now openly soliciting papers from the industry. The relevant matters are notified as follows:
