A platform for pilot scale demonstration of next generation PV technologies (ARC LIEF application led by Queensland University of Technology) (2022)
Abstract
This project aims to establish a platform composed of a suit of essential facilities including slot-die coater, integrated electroluminescence/photoluminescence/Infrared imaging system, module level solar simulator, climate chamber and sola cell outdoor testing bed, enabling upscaling fabrication and assessment of the commercial feasibility of promising materials for photovoltaic (PV) and other applications. The proposed research infrastructure is the first of its kind in Australia and it bridges the critical gap between laboratory research and commercialisation. The expected outcomes will enhance the manufacture capability of Australia in the area of emerging PV technologies, generating direct economic and societal benefits.
