VIPERLAB project warmly invite to partcipate in the EU PVSEC 2023, which will take place from 18 to 22 September 2023 in Lisbon, Portugal. The conference topics have slightly changed compared to former editions, which reflects the widening scope of the conference. The paper submission is open until 3 February 2023. 

 

[SUMMER SCHOOL] - Took place on Sep, 04^th 2023

[WORKSHOP] - Took place on Jul, 26^th 2023

The Viperlab Data Management Workshop is a full-day event focused on materials research data management, offering an overview of the most relevant strategies and opportunities offered by  NOMAD-LAB and NEO4J databases for projects such as VIPERLAB involved on Solar Perovskite material and devices. Experts from different German research institutes together with representatives of both NOMAD-LAB and NEO4J databases shared insights on projects and databases dedicated to storing research data based on FAIR rules.

[CONFERENCE] - Took place on Jul, 05^th 2023

The scope of this conference is to provide an opportunity for experts in a variety of PV sectors and technologies to have a fresh update on the advancement, state-of-the-art and future roadmap of new generation PV in space applications, not only for the satellite powering and traditional space missions but also new space developments such as extraterrestrial bases, deployable flexible PV arrays, inflatable solar cells, solar power stations, etc. The conference would also focus on space relevant tests of new PV technologies as well as the first experimental demonstration on the space environment.

[WEBINAR] - Took place on Jun, 28^th 2023

Perovskite SJ and Pero/Si Tandem technologies are attracting significant attention from both scientific and industrial societies due to rapid increases in efficiency, from approximately 3% in 2009 to over 33% today. Several efforts are made to characterize the technological bottlenecks, overcome them and push the technology to the commercial world through the PV module upscaling. This imposes a pre-industrial stage, where different equipment from coating systems such as blade coating, slot-die coating and spray coating to printing paths such as screen, inkjet and gravure printing as well as methods of vacuum deposition and laser processing are currently used to support the potential of PSCs to move towards their industrialization. VIPERLAB today introduces CEA and IMEC VIPERLAB Research Infrastructures offering State-of-the-art equipment for Fabrication, Characterization, Encapsulation, Upscaling and Testing of Perovskite SJ and Pero/Si Tandem Solar Cells

[CONFERENCE] - Took place on Jun, 27^th 2023

The   15th International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV2023) took place on 12-14th June 2023 in London. The conference organised by the Swansea University – partners at the VIPERLAB project  - provided an excellent opportunity for scientists and engineers around the world to discuss the latest developments in hybrid and organic photovoltaics

[WORKSHOP] - Took place on Jun, 27^th 2023

The 3rd edition of the tandemPV Workshop took place from June 6-8, 2023 in Chambéry and online and was hosted by CEA & INES. 280 participants from 30 countries, both online and on-site in Chambéry, participated to present, share and discuss latest tandem PV technologies.

[WORKSHOP] - Took place on May, 24^th 2023

This  workshop proposed by Viperlab project with the involevement of HZB, AIT, Fraunhofer ISE, EPFL, UniTOV, ENEA focusses on the needs and benefit of a standardized and homogeneized approach regarding device characterization and -processing, overview of the measurement principles and the differences compared to standard calibration of silicon solar cells, good practices to measure tandem devices at lab level, and will end with an an ovierview about Viperlab activities in characterization and standardization, outdoor monitoring of single and tandem perovskite devices and fabrication of 2T mechanically stacked tandem

[WEBINAR] - Took place on May, 24^th 2023

The 2nd yearly meeting of the Viperlab project was organized by ENEA partner in Portici from the 24th to the 25th of May. The event was joined to 2nd workshop on precise Measurement of #Perovskite Silicon Tandem #SolarCells. All 28 participants, representing each partner, workpackage and project's task, were actively engaged in discussions and shared their working group achievements, challenges, and lessons learned during the previous period. The meeting provided a platform for open dialogue, fostering an environment of mutual trust and cooperation, to achive in time the project goals.

[WORKSHOP] - Took place on May, 11^th 2023

On May 11, 2023 VIPERLAB offered its first  public event to shed light on several topics related to the status of achievements in the perovskite PV field such as the status of community and infrastructures available in Europe, the latest achievements in solar cells and PV modules performance, market perspectives, development of  a strategic Research and Innovation agenda to provide guidance to different stakeholders to accelerate the development of the technology and its market introduction. The event was offered in conjunction with the Annual ETIP-PV assembly in Brussels
