Intelligent Characterization of PV Devices, Summer School Session in Carmona

This special program was designed to gather to industrial engineers and PhD students to learn about state-of-the-art AI techniques and their application in the photovoltaics industry. The summer school explored AI-enhanced characterization and monitoring tools from an industrial perspective, emphasizing their integration into PV production lines. The training addressed the critical challenges in PV manufacturing, particularly the production inefficiencies that lead to material waste and increased environmental impact. The programme was tailor-made for those involved in photovoltaics, related opto-electronic applications, and material sciences, who aspire to bridge the gap between academic research and industrial application.

Several Platform-ZERO partners delivered presentations and interactive sessions, from UPO (lead organiser of the event), CNATS, IREC, RISC and R2M Solution, but also from external organisations including AZCATEC.

 Caracterización de fotoelectroquímica de semiconductores con métodos de pequeña perturbación: Impacto en dispositivos de generación de combustible solares

In June 2024, Gerko Oskam (Energy Conversion Nanomaterials & Devices Group and CNATS) imparted a course on fundamental and practical aspects of photoelectrochemical water splitting. This method is attractive for the generation of green hydrogen as a clean fuel, which is an essential piece in the sustainable energy transition puzzle. In this type of device, the semiconductor is in direct contact with the electrolyte solution, which implies strict stability requirements, but the advantages of simplicity make it an important focus of current research. The key to improving these solar energy conversion systems is associated with a good understanding of the fundamental processes that govern their performance. In this scenario, both steady-state photoelectrochemical methods and more advanced small perturbation techniques are needed to elucidate the mechanisms and processes that limit the efficiency of charge separation, recombination, charge transfer and transport. This is particularly challenging for nanostructured and porous photoelectrodes, due to the complicated potential distribution at the interface. The course discusses  the fundamental bases of the systems of current interestin detail, with a focus on the application of small perturbation methods.

GO Agrovoltaica represents a synergy between technology, sustainability and traditional agriculture. This project not only seeks to optimize agricultural production and reduce resource consumption, but also to create a sustainable and replicable model that can be adopted in different regions and with various crops. The agricultural and energy community will benefit from this innovative approach, becoming an example of how technology can integrate with nature to create a more sustainable and prosperous future. The GO Agrovoltaica project is a clear example that the combination of tradition and innovation can be the key to facing the challenges of the future in agriculture and energy.
