European PV manufacturing – does it make sense ?

In September 2021, Dr Lars Oberbeck gave a conference at IPVF entitled “European photovoltaic production: does it make sense?“. He shared his views on how Europe could reshore its photovoltaic production, building a strong and resilient PV ecosystem and foster european strategic autonomy. Indeed, it is time for Europe to strengthen its commitment to R&I in PV for, as announced in its work program for 2022, the European Commission will publish a Communication on solar

SIRTA and IPVF join forces to test new generation perovskite PV modules

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

Earth Day, Thursday April 22, 2021

On the occasion of Earth Day, Thursday April 22, 2021, the CNRS is offering a selection of research to “fix” the world. Indeed, if scientists deliver diagnoses on environmental crises, they also try to bring solutions which, without pretending to save the world, can contribute to mitigate the effects and help us to adapt to the upheavals in progress. Here is a fascinating dossier from the CNRS, to be read here.
