Solar Europe Now – the coalition currently gathers over 120 actors from the European solar value chain, based in 15 EU countries (22.06.20)

Keep up with the projects and the progress of research SEPTEMBER EDITION EDITORIAL by Roch DROZDOWSKI-STREHL, IPVF CEO Dear Colleagues, Early September 2020, the European Commission has confirmed its ambition to cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by at least 55% by 2030, and to make Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. Achieving this requires accelerated energy efficiency measures, deeper electrification, and faster deployment of low-carbon power generation. According to the Commission long-term strategy (LTS)

The European Technology and Innovation Platform Photovoltaics (ETIP PV) is a continuation of the European PV Technology Platform (EU PVTP) and the Solar European Industry Initiative (SEII) in a single platform under the new SET Plan governance. The ETIP PV’s mission is in line with the Energy Union and the SET Plan priorities with focus on “Renewable technologies at the heart of the new energy system” and Europe to become “number 1 in renewables”. ETIP

Current single‐junction crystalline silicon (c‐Si) solar cells are approaching their power conversion efficiency (PCE) limit. Tandem solar cells are expected to overcome such efficiency limit, with perovskite on c‐Si tandems being a promising candidate for commercialization over the next years. This work aims atdescribing the conditions that tandem cells and modules need to fulfill to successfully enter the market in 2030. We first estimate that industrial c‐Si photovoltaic modules may reach a price level of

Edmond Becquerel was born on March 24, 1820. He conducted his research and teaching at the French Natural History Museum and the National Conservatory of Arts and Crafts and was a member and then president of the French Academy of Sciences. He has made major advances in

“Les cellules solaires ultrafines” article de Stéphane Collin et Andrea Cattoni à lire dans le dernier numéro du magazine #Photoniques. Une revue de l’état de l’art des cellules solaires ultrafines, des stratégies pour marier #nanophotonique et #photovoltaïque, et des perspectives offertes par la démonstration récente de cellules solaires de près de 20 % d’efficacité et seulement de 200 nm d’épaisseur. “Nous avons démontré récemment une efficacité de conversion #solaire de près de 20% avec seulement

9 July 2020, Brussels – SolarPower Europe organised the first virtual conference of the ‘Solar Manufacturing Accelerator’. The initiative, launched in May by SolarPower Europe, and coordinated with strategic partners ESMC, ETIP-PV, IPVF, and VDMA, aims to accelerate the deployment of solar PV manufacturing projects in Europe to strengthen European leadership in renewable technologies and contribute to the reindustrialisation of the continent, supporting a European green recovery. The conference included 10 presentations from shovel-ready European

Suite au report du Lyon-Canton à 2021, et parce que 2020 est une année beaucoup trop importante pour que le Sun Trip reste silencieux, nous sommes heureux d’annoncer la création d’une édition spéciale autour de la France. Maintenir le cap, être acteur du changement, renouer le contact avec l’autre, mettre en lumière “une France solaire & solidaire” : autant d’objectifs de cette édition Sun Trip France, au départ de Lyon le 14 juillet prochain !

Meet the IPVF researchers for the IPVF 2020 Science Day e-Poster Session

SolarPower Europe’s “Solar Manufacturing Accelerator”, a platform aimed at accelerating the deployment of solar PV manufacturing projects in Europe, is gaining momentum as the French Research Institute IPVF joins the initiative. IPVF has strongly advocated to re-initiate a European industrial strategy for solar: on 7th May 2020, IPVF spearheaded a coalition of more than 110 actors from the European solar PV value chain  – amongst which SolarPower Europe –  urging an inclusive Green Deal with solar R&D
