Am Dienstag, den 20. Mai, um 14:00 Uhr findet im Vortragssaal des ISFH ein Instituts-Kolloquium statt.
Dr. Marco Ernst (Australian National University (ANU)) stellt „PV Research at ANU: From Materials to Modules and Systems“ vor.
Alle Institutsangehörige, Freunde und auswärtige Gäste des ISFH sind zu dieser Veranstaltung herzlich eingeladen!
Abstract
This presentation highlights recent research activities within the ANU Photovoltaics Group, spanning fundamental materials science to module and system-level applications, with an emphasis on reliability and real-world performance. Our research on high-efficiency silicon solar cells includes innovations in TOPCon and advanced passivated contact technologies, supported by in-depth studies of silicon material quality, defect analysis, and advanced characterisation methods. We also explore emerging photovoltaic technologies, particularly focusing on perovskite-silicon tandems, investigating trade-offs between efficiency, stability, and economic viability. Beyond solar cells, our work addresses module and system-level applications such as agrivoltaics, detailed ray-tracing simulations, and energy yield forecasting.
