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. 

 

[WORKSHOP] - Start date May, 11^th 2023

VIPERLAB offers 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. Theevent is offered in conjunction with the Annual ETIP-PV assembly in Brussels  

[WORKSHOP] - Took place on Mar, 21^st 2023

We are pleased to invite you to the next VIPERLAB roadmapping workshop for perovskite PV technology development and harmonization in Europe.This workshop will be held on March 22th, 2023 9:00-12:30 during Energy Conversion and Storage Days" events. organized by the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and will take place at the premises of KIT, Campus Nord in Karlsruhe/Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen  

[WORKSHOP] - Took place on Mar, 13^th 2023

We are reaching out to inform you about the upcoming LCA Methodology Harmonization Workshop set for the 13^th and 14^th of March, 2023, in Brussels (Hybrid), organized by Uni Liege, Fraunhofer ISE, TNO & Uni Siena.
The aim of the workshop is to align and harmonize the LCA methodology and subsequent results comparability for perovskite solar cells and, to a larger extent, for innovative PV within the European research community.

[WEBINAR] - Took place on Jan, 26^th 2023

The stability of perovskite devices is a key point should be addressed to achieve commercialisation. The key factors influencing the stability of the devices are the exposure to oxygen and moisture, UV light, solution processing and thermal effects. Encapsulation and standard testing protocols are required to check and improve stability. The two presented infrastructures offer state of the art equipment for the Perovskite Stability testing of materials and devices. 

[WEBINAR] - Took place on Dec, 15^th 2022

We present other two VIPERLAB Research Infrastructures. The first, CHOSE consists of two main infrastructures: the CHOSE@ROME, is located on the campus of the University of Rome Tor Vergata (Italy), and focuses on technological manufacturing processes and device characterization. CHOSE@TURIN, is an infrastructure associated with the University of Turin (Italy) focused on the development of materials.  The secon, AIT Viperlab Reseach infrastructures focusses on characterization and reliability tools for the accreditation tests of PV modules, and tools for PV deposition, characterization/reliability and development of thin film coatings.

[WEBINAR] - Took place on Nov, 30^th 2022

H2020 VIPERLAB Project offers free access to the state-of-the-art perovskite EU infrastructures that cover the whole innovation/value chain from material preparation to characterization of perovskite devices and modules. Today we present two very relevant VIPRLAB research Infastructures:   FRAUNHOFER Solar Cell Manufacturing & Characterization & EPFL/CSEM – PV lab/PV Center & PSK/SI Tandem processing.

[WORKSHOP] - Took place on Nov, 28^th 2022

PEROSPACE is a workshop organized by Dr. Narges Yaghoobi Nia UniTOV/UniROMA1 and  supported by University of Rome Tor Vergata, EU-H2020 VIPERLAB Project and Aerospace Engineering School of Sapienza University of Rome focussed on last trends in  Perovskite Solar Module Fabrication & Commercialization and Space Applications of Perovskite Solar Photovoltaics. The registration is free. Online participation is also offered on the first day. 

[WORKSHOP] - Took place on Sep, 29^th 2022

 It took place in parallel to the WCPEC-8 conference at the same venue in Milan. The goal of the workshop is to define a Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) for perovskite PV modules, starting from the recently published SRIA document by ETIP-PV and EERA-PV. Particularly the workshop  focussed on single-junction perovskite PV modules and start from the recently drafted European Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda for Photovoltaics.

[CONFERENCE] - Took place on Sep, 26^th 2022

The 8th World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion took place from 26 to 30 September 2022 at the Milano Convention Center in Milan, Italy. A monumental event after 2 years of online meetings that welcomed more than 1500 participants from 60 countries and covered more than 1100 presentations. The Viperlab project presented its goals and the impact it will have on the future of research and development around perovskyte-based photovoltaic technology.

[WORKSHOP] - Took place on Sep, 14^th 2022

The First strategic VIPERLAB workshop on main harmonization/standardization challenges for Perovskite PV” took place from 14^th to 15^th September 2022 in Vienna, Austria. Participants were mainly people belonging to the VIPERLAB stakeholder list, the VIPERLAB advisory board, the Perovskite industry community and external stakeholders of interest.The program consisted of talks on harmonization and standardization, industry needs and developments, and the VIPERLAB project itself, including related work package activities associated to fabrication and characterization. These talks were then followed with discussions (panel & general) on challenges, take-aways and next steps.

[CONFERENCE] - Took place on Jul, 04^th 2022

To summarize the activities during the first year of the VIPERLAB project, the consortium met in July in Erlangen and Nurenberg at the HI-ERN location - one of the VIPERLAB participants. This meeting was the first physical project gathering for VIPERLAB and had a real impact on the collaborative relationships between the partners as well as on the good planning of the next joint reasearch and networking activities.
