Flexible, light and efficient photovoltaic panels – the promise of CIGS Watch a replay of our latest webinar – https://lnkd.in/dEN7zyAz ☀ CIGS exhibits high conversion efficiencies, both in the laboratory and in production. This high efficiency, coupled with long-term stability, makes it uniquely positioned to play a central role in the global renewable energy sector. CIGS is suitable for the production of lightweight, flexible, semi-transparent, and custom-shaped solar products. Construction materials such as building facade

Perovskites solar cells are the rising stars of photovoltaics (PV) with great promises ahead, especially in their association with silicon solar cells to create tandem PV modules exceeding standard PV module existing efficiency limit (~25 %). Nonetheless, perovskites solar cells and modules do not meet yet the stability and reliability requirements, especially when compared and/or associated with silicon solar cells. Researchers are working hard on developing stability and reliability protocols enabling the assessment of perovskite-based devices’ long-term performance. This step is crucial for their

Bien qu’elles aient des rendements plus élevés que les technologies concurrentes, ces cellules solaires sont considérablement plus coûteuses en raison des techniques et des matériaux de

The international day of light (IDL) is a worldwide event created in 2015 by UNESCO to commemorate the role light plays in science, culture and art, education, sustainable development, and in fields as diverse as medicine, communications, and energy. The IDL is celebrated on May 16th in honor of the anniversary of the first successful operation of the laser in 1960 by physicist and engineer, Theodore Maiman. The celebration allows many different sectors of society worldwide

L’Institut Photovoltaïque d’Île-de-France (IPVF) s’engage pour faire de la recherche et de l’innovation pour ses clients un véritable levier de performance économique pour ses clients, et pour permettre à l’Europe d’asseoir un positionnement fort et cohérent dans son ambition de transition énergétique. Le point avec Roch Drozdowski-Strehl, directeur général de l’IPVF et vice-président de la European Technology & Innovation Platform for Photovoltaics (ETIP PV). L’Institut Photovoltaïque d’Île-de-France (IPVF) a pour ambition de devenir un acteur incontournable

IPVF CEO Roch DROZDOWSKI-STREHL and Program 1 Leader Lars OBERBECK will be participating to the workshop “Strength through Cooperation: Europe’s PV value chain working together.” on 9 June 2021. EUREC’s public workshop “Europe’s PV Value Chain Working Together,” which was co-organised by Radovan Kopecek (ISC Konstanz) and supported by Simon Philipps (FhG-ISE) and Ingrid Weiss (WIP Renewable Energies), will be held on 9 June from 13:30 to 16:30 CET. The online workshop will focus on

Warsaw, 21-05-2021. A digital meeting took place on the 18th of May between the Ministry of Climate and Environment and representatives from the renewables and sustainable technology sectors to discuss clean innovation in Poland. The Secretary of State Ireneusz Zyska was accompanied by his colleagues from the Ministry of Climate and Environment Marcin Ścigan who is Director of the Renewable Energy Department and Miłosz Węgrzyn who is an Energy Advisor. The delegates representing the renewable

À l’occasion de la Journée de la Terre, le jeudi 22 avril 2021, le CNRS nous permet de retrouver un florilège de recherches pour « réparer » le monde. En effet, si les scientifiques livrent des diagnostics sur les crises environnementales, ils tentent aussi d’apporter des solutions qui, sans prétendre sauver le monde, peuvent contribuer à en atténuer les effets et nous aider à nous adapter aux bouleversements en cours. Voici un passionnant dossier du

Doping, a fundamental property of semiconductor devices can be measured at nanoscale thanks to long term developments made by IPVF-C2N researchers. In a twin papers published in Phys. Rev. Applied they report how to calibrate cathodeluminescence (CL) measurements to analyze p-type and n-type GaAs thin films over a wide range of carrier concentrations (2×1017 to 1×1019 cm-3). Then, they applied this calibration to analyze the doping concentration profiles in GaAs NWs. High-resolution maps of the

Photovoltaics (PV) is rapidly becoming one of the most important energy sources for a clean and widespread energy supply. In 2019 alone, 120GWp of PV capacity was installed globally. Every country has now realized that PV is not only the best solution ecologically, but also increasingly economically, with an average levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) of around 3ct/kWh, and in some cases as little as 1-2ct/kWh. End 2020 IEA declared PV the cheapest energy source
