課程概述

In this course, you will learn about the fundamentals of photovoltaic materials and devices. You will understand the main principles of photoelectric conversion: charge excitation, conduction, separation, and collection. You will become familiar with commercial and emerging photovoltaic (PV) technologies and various cross-cutting themes in PV: power conversion efficiencies, loss mechanisms, characterization, manufacturing, maximum power point tracking, reliability. The course will focus on different types of photovoltaic materials, such us single- and multi-crystalline silicon, amorphous silicon, CdTe, CIGS, dye sensitized and organic solar cell materials, perovskites and solar cell materials based on III-V compounds. Other topics covered include photovoltaic technology evolution in the context of markets, policies, society, and environment. 

課程目標
By the year 2030, several hundred gigawatts of power must be generated from low-carbon sources to cap atmospheric CO2 concentrations at levels deemed "lower-risk" by the current scientific consensus. The necessity to develop low-carbon energy sources represents not only an awesome technological and engineering challenge, but also an equally large economic opportunity in the energy market.
Students will learn how solar cells convert light into electricity, how solar cells are manufactured, how solar cells are evaluated, what technologies are currently on the market, and how to evaluate the risk and potential of existing and emerging solar cell technologies. The course will discuss the potential & drawbacks of currently manufactured technologies (single- and multicrystalline silicon, CdTe, CIGS, CPV), as well as pre-commercial technologies (organics, organic / inorganic hybrid, and nanostructure-based solar cells). Hands-on laboratory sessions will demonstrate how a solar cell works in practice.
