Descriptif
This course makes the link between the fundamental physics of photovoltaic devices and the practical reality of selling PV-generated kWh. It is composed of two parts: (1) an intensive laboratory component (24 hours spent in a research lab) giving students the opportunity to fabricate and test photovoltaic devices in a research environment, and (2) three lectures given by our industrial partners from Total, concerning the PV industry.Objectifs pédagogiques
After taking this course, the student should be able to: - **Laboratory Component:** - Demonstrate experimental familiarity with critical elements of photovoltaic device fabrication or advanced material/device characterization - Describe their own laboratory research result in the field of photovoltaics - Apply their knowledge of the experimental design and methods particular to PV to defend or moderate their results. - Identify, use and weight the physical parameters in a photovoltaic system and critical output metrics - **Industrial Lecture Component** - Describe the industrial steps to produce photovoltaic modules - Identify usage of photovoltaics in appropriate applications - Have a global vision of the photovoltaics market, value chain and main players - Quantitatively evaluate PV system costs and PV electricity costs - Take into account safety - Carry scientific messages on the environmental impact of photovoltaics
