After the great success of the previous editions of the PV School in 2018 (Physics of Solar Cells: from basics to nanoscience), 2020 (Physics of Solar Cells: from basic principles to advanced characterization), and 2022 (Physics of Solar Cells : from basic principles to material science) in the famous Les Houches School of Physics, the 4th edition of the PV School will focus on 

Physics of Solar Cells: from basic principles to high performance
Les Houches School of Physics, 12-17 May 2024, France

https://sunlit-team.eu/pv-school-2024/ 

This school will cover the physics of solar cells, from basic principles to advanced concepts, with a focus on high performance. It will open on a series of lectures devoted to the basic physics for solar cells (thermodynamics, opto-electronic properties of semiconductors…) setting a frame shared by all materials and technologies. It will then turn to the diversity of challenges facing the field (high conversion efficiency, low material consumption, high throughput processes, low degradation rate, tailored mechanical and optical properties), bridging the gap between fundamental and applied research.

Please, find the program of the PV School 2024 here. 

The targeted audience is focused on scientists (junior and senior), research engineers, PhDs and post-docs, and attendees new to the field of PV or wishing to enlarge their knowledge in photovoltaics.

Applications must be received by Monday 19 Feb. 2024. Please use the following form to apply:
