Seminar at NREL by Prof. Marko Topič

February 18, 2025

Prof. dr. Marko Topič gave a Seminar at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) entitled PV Materials and Devices in Energy Transition – interplay of performance, cost and stability.

In the seminar, prof. Topič first reviewed the fascinating photovoltaic (PV) technology’s modularity and continuous cost reductions that path a way solar PV to become the largest source of electricity worldwide. Although with already proven economic and environmental competitiveness, PV is successfully addressing further challenges in science, engineering and technology as well as in materials and devices to fit everywhere. Latest R&D activities in silicon and perovskite photovoltaics globally were presented with a contribution from the Laboratory for Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (LPVO).
