Los días 21 y 22 de julio, estaremos impartiendo un curso de verano en la Sede de Carmona de la Universidad Pablo de Olavide de la modalidad dual con título:
Nuevas tecnologías en energía solar. Fundamentos y aplicaciones
En el curso, se tratan los aspectos fundamentales y se darán ejemplos de conversión de energía solar en electricidad, calor y energía química en forma de hidrógeno. Además, se discutirán aspectos de escalamiento y de economía circular para un ejemplo de fotovoltaica basada en perovskitas híbridas. Habrá un taller práctico para ilustrar los conceptos. Todas las conferencias se van a grabar y se pondrán a disposición de los estudiantes para que las visualicen cuando mejor les convenga.
