ENEA has been developing over the past few decades a strong expertise on photovoltaic devices starting from thin-film and crystalline silicon based solar cells to last generation of organic/hybrid materials for PV. At the present, the proposed infrastructure is mainly devoted to the fabrication and characterization of perovskite solar cells to be used in 2T monolithic perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells. The infrastructure comprises (main equipment):
- Three glove boxes (one in nitrogen atmosphere, one in nitrogen or dry air atmosphere with controlled relative humidity in the range of 5 % - 70 %, and one equipped with a thermal evaporator for electric contacts);
- PECVD (standard and VHF) multichambered for doped and intrinsic...
The infrastructure comprises (main equipment):
Solar simulator with sensitivity to a broader range of wavelengths, at least between 300 nm and 1200 nm, and with longer lamp pulse duration, at least 100 ms or steady state, to characterize innovative PV materials and with the possibility of heating the samples for determining the temperature coefficients and for energy rating estimation
- Device characterization (illuminated and dark current-voltage (J-V) characteristics, external/internal quantum efficiency (EQE/IQE) with extended wavelength range up to 1800 nm
- WACOM class AAA dual-lamp solar simulator
- Fully equipped facilities for solar cells and PV module performance and reliability testing according to IEC...
