This course will explore the main PV technologies in the current market. Students will gain in-depth knowledge about crystalline silicon based solar cells (90% market share) as well as other up and coming technologies like CdTe, CIGS and Perovskites. It will cover design concepts and fabrication processes of various photovoltaic technologies and technologies of thin film solar cells, like CIGS, CdTe, thin-film silicon, Perovskites.

Assessment

This course does not involve any written exams. Students need to answer 5 assignment questions to complete the course, the answers will be in the form of written work in pdf or word. Students can write the answers in their own time. Each answer needs to be 200 words (1 Page). Once the answers are submitted, the tutor will check and assess the work.
