C2N, IPVF and LAAS publish a review of ultrathin solar cells in Nature Energy

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

Solar Industry Day

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)
