Flexible solar cells that are a thousand times thinner than commercial silicon cells with the same efficiency: this is the feat of two CNRS researchers who have developed a trap to “capture” light.
Towards EU’s recovery, energy transition & solar cells manufacturing: SolarPower Europe and EIT InnoEnergy have launched today the European Solar Initiative supported by Commissioners Thierry Breton and Kadri Simson, as well as French Minister Agnès Pannier-Runacher. The European Solar Initiative, an industry-led effort supported by the European Commission, aims to scale up the solar PV industry value chain in Europe, and capture the booming European demand for solar, estimated at 20 GW per year for
As part of the European Green Deal, the European Commission proposed in September 2020 to raise the 2030 greenhouse gas emission reduction target, including emissions and removals, to at least 55% compared to 1990. The Annual conference of the European Technology and Innovation Platform for Photovoltaics will discuss the challenges of delivering these 2030 climate targets to Europe. The EU has to move towards a climate-neutral economy and has to implement its commitments under the Paris

How does photovoltaic energy work and what are the principles on which its production is based? What are the advantages and limitations of this technology? How is research being mobilized to improve photovoltaic performance? A discussion broadcast on February 10, 2021 in which Nathanaelle Schneider, a chemical researcher specializing in the design and development of new materials for photovoltaics at the Institut photovoltaïque d’Île-de-France, who won the CNRS 2020 Bronze Medal, participates. She presents, from
Cellules solaires à pérovskites: un webinar pour faire le point sur l’état de la technologie, l’industrialisation et les marchés potentiels. Avec la participation de : Emmanuelle DELEPORTE, Professeure des Universités à l’ENS Paris Saclay, Jean ROUSSET, Responsable du programme de recherche cellules tandem pérovskites à l’IPVF Samy ALMOSNI, Chercheur et David FORGACS Directeur knowledge management chez Saule Technologies (Pologne). En 2012, des nouveaux matériaux ont fait officiellement leur entrée dans le monde du photovoltaïque: les pérovskites hybrides, avec une efficacité qui
We are pleased to announce the appointment of Gérard CREUZET to the position of Chairman of IPVF – Institut Photovoltaïque d’Île-de-France, as of 1 January 2021. Gérard Creuzet began his career as a teacher-researcher in solid-state physics. After studying at the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Cachan (agrégation de physique 1976), he obtained a PhD in 1978, followed by a State Doctorate at the University of Orsay in 1982. Gérard Creuzet is the author of 80
Lancement du club IPVF UNITE: merci de votre participation à notre enquête ! Voici ce que nous avons appris sur les services que vous attendez. Le 19 novembre, l’IPVF a annoncé la création du club IPVF UNITE. Il s’agit pour nous de rassembler les acteurs du photovoltaïque autour de projets d’innovation, et de construire ensemble la filière de demain – voir notre communiqué de presse en cliquant ici. C’est avec vous que nous avons voulu
#TalentsCNRS Nathanaelle Schneider, Médaille de bronze @CNRS est chercheuse à @IPVF_institute (@CNRS/@ChimieParisTech/@Polytechnique). Spécialisée dans le #design elle développe de nouveaux matériaux pour le #photovoltaïque@INC_CNRS
The prize is awarded to Daniel Lincot, CNRS Research Director.He has been conducting research on photovoltaic solar energy since 1978. He is at the origin of innovations in the field of thin film processes and materials. He has also made a decisive contribution to structuring the field at the research-industry interface with the creation of dedicated institutes, the Photovoltaic Energy Research and Development Institute (EDF/CNRS/Chimie ParisTech-PSL) in 2002, then the Institut photovoltaïque d’Île de France
L’IPVF remercie très chaleureusement BSMART et Thomas HUGUES qui ont invité Roch Drozdowski-Strehl, directeur général IPVF pour présenter la manière dont nos équipes articulent business & développements technologiques pour leurs clients 🚀
L’IPVF lance le club IPVF UNITE pourrassembler les acteurs du photovoltaïque autour de projets d’innovation et construire la filière de demain À l’IPVF – Institut Photovoltaïque d’Ile-de-France, nous sommes convaincus qu’allier science, réseau et collaboration est essentiel pour bâtir la nouvelle filière du photovoltaïque en Europe. C’est pourquoi nous avons créé IPVF UNITE. IPVF UNITE, c’est le réseau qui réunit et fait travailler autour d’intérêts communs les acteurs de notre filière, pour accélérer les projets
The 9th NextPV Workshop will take place online, from Nov. 24th to 27th 2020 ! Japanese and French partners will present their latest results during this event, which will cover their subjects of interest: from material to photovoltaic devices, also including systems and characterization. To attend the event, get the detailed program or any other information, do not hesitate to contact us. The International Research Project NextPV brings together the expertise and skills of major
Ever thinner solar cells Thickness reduction can be a key element in the quest for cheaper and more efficient solar cells. Making solar cells at least 10 times thinner than commercial ones would save material, reduce manufacturing costs, and enable new applications due to their greater flexibility. In a review on ultrathin solar cells published in Nature Energy on November 2nd, researchers from CNRS (C2N, IPVF and LAAS) highlight the very high potential of ultrathin
12 November, 09:00-17:30 CET, Online SolarPower Europe and its strategic partners ETIP-PV, ESMC, IPVF and VDMA invite you to the Solar Manufacturing Accelerator, the first online B2B Matchmaking 100% dedicated to EU manufacturers. The Solar Manufacturing Accelerator is a platform aimed at accelerating the deployment of solar PV manufacturing projects in Europe. After its successful launch in July 2020 and the presentation of ten leading manufacturing projects, the Accelerator is organising its first full-day B2B Matchmaking
Information (2.11.20): The lockdown measures put in place oblige us to postpone this key event designed for the entire French solar PV value chain until 2021. If it is theoretically possible to organize this day in its entirety in a dematerialized format, we consider that a postponement is preferable in view of the quality of our research center that we would like to show to the entire French solar industry. This postponement (by September 2021)
