Plenary Speaker

  • A Perovskite Paved Pathway to Multi-Terawatt scale Photovoltaics

    This talk will consider the future of metal halide perovskite (MHP)  photovoltaic (PV) technologies as photovoltaic deployment reaches the terawatt scale.  The requirements for significantly increasing PV deployment beyond current rates and what the implications are for technologies attempting to meet this challenge will be addressed.  In particular how issues of CO2 impacts and sustainability inform near and longer-term research development and deployment goals for MHP enabled PV will be discussed. To facilitate this, an overview of current state of the art results for MHP based single junction, and multi-junctions in all-perovskite or hybrid configurations with other PV technologies will be presented.  This will also include examination of performance of MHP-PVs along both efficiency and reliability axes for not only cells but also modules placed in context of the success of technologies that are currently widely deployed.
