- Crystalline silicon solar cell characterisation
Modelling the behaviour of the various materials and technologies is increasingly important to optimize the performance of the cells, modules and systems.
Within this topic two issues are especially addressed:
- modelling of various more complex designs such as tandems cells and multi-junction cells
- harmonisation of the interfaces between the different modelling steps
Three Research Infrastructures deal with this issue:
