First, they will gain insight into the physical basis of light-matter interaction, linking the optical response to the electronic band structure of materials relevant to PV technologies. Subsequently, they will acquire knowledge about solar energy radiation potential and learn how to apply solar radiation databases to assess the performance of a PV plant in a specific location. They will understand the physical foundation of the photovoltaic effect and first-generation PV technologies, which are primarily based on single-junction silicon solar cells and account for 90% of the PV market. They will also explore the physical and material-related constraints that limit PV conversion efficiency, addressing cutting-edge solutions and new materials currently being researched for high-efficiency devices. Finally, the students will gain hands-on laboratory experience conducting the electro-optical characterization of PV cells. During the third semester, students interested in PV may attend the course titled Inorganic Materials: From the Ground to Photovoltaics, where they will delve into the chemistry of inorganic PV materials, with a focus that goes beyond silicon technologies.
