The research group of the Photovoltaic Cells Laboratory of ITER has presented the latest advances of its research in this prestigious international scientific event, held from September 26 to 30 in Milan, Italy.
Last week was held the 8th edition of the World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion (WCPEC-8), the world conference par excellence on photovoltaic solar energy conversion, in which the Instituto Tecnológico y de Energías Renovables (ITER), under the Cabildo de Tenerife, participated with two scientific communications related to the MACLAB-PV project.
With these two communications elaborated in collaboration with the University of La Laguna (ULL), the research group of the Photovoltaic Cells Laboratory of ITER has presented the latest advances of the research carried out in the laboratory, which have been strengthened thanks to the European project MACLAB-PV, co-financed by the European INTERREG MAC 2014-2020 Program.
The results shared with the specialized scientific community at the WCPEC-8 congress focus on the advances made by ITER and ULL in the development and improvement of the stability of photovoltaic cells based on Perovskite, a more efficient, accessible and less expensive material than Silicon, which is being actively investigated worldwide in the possibilities it offers.
Specifically, progress has been made in the development of Perovskite-based thin-film photovoltaic cells fabricated under ambient conditions, which have a simplified architecture using a carbon back electrode.
The use of new materials (polymers such as ethyl vinyl acetate, methyl methacrylate and polyvinylidene fluoride) to improve the stability of perovskite solar cells against humidity and temperature has also been studied.
These works were presented in the visual communications sessions of the Congress, presented by the researchers of the photovoltaic department of ITER, Carlos Montes and Luis Ocaña, and will be included in the proceedings of the Congress for its next publication.
Within the framework of the MACLAB-PV project, ITER is working on the acquisition of diverse equipment that is promoting the implementation of new research lines for the fabrication and characterization of photovoltaic cells, in its R&D Laboratory, a leading infrastructure in this field in the Canary Islands. The works of this scientific-technological infrastructure dedicated to the improvement of the efficiency of solar cells through new thin film materials, are of great interest for their application at industrial scale, due to their contribution to the cost reduction of photovoltaic systems.
WCPEC is the largest international conference on photovoltaic research, technologies and applications and, at the same time, an exhibition of the photovoltaic industry, where leading companies and specialized manufacturers present technologies, innovations and new concepts for the photovoltaic sector. This event, which has been held since 1994, brings together the global PV community to present and discuss the latest developments in solar PV and to establish and strengthen new collaborative networks.
