Photovoltaic laboratory \u2013 LabCelFV<\/span><\/h2>\n

The ITER Photovoltaic Laboratory, known as LabCelFV, is a cutting-edge scientific and technological facility designed to contribute to the development and strengthening of new manufacturing techniques for crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells and new materials. Its dimensions and modular nature give it flexibility and adaptability to new processes, such as research with new materials for use in photovoltaic technologies.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The main research lines have been developed in the field of photovoltaic cells based on crystalline silicon<\/a>.
In addition, a new research line has been initiated focusing on the study of emerging materials, specifically those that, due to their crystalline structure, are classified as perovskites.<\/a> <\/p>\n

In order to evaluate and analyze each phase of the manufacturing process, the laboratory is conceived as a scaled system of an industrial production line, where the fabrication and characterization processes of the devices are carried out.
The infrastructure includes two work areas: one dedicated to the fabrication of photovoltaic cells (ISO 7 Cleanroom) and another dedicated to their characterization. <\/p>\n
