Centre for Sustainable Energy Systems
The group researches photovoltaic solar cells and concentrator solar thermal technologies. Activities include defect detection and surface passivation in silicon wafers; high performance silicon solar cells, including SLIVER solar cells; modelling; plasmons and nano PV technology; hybrid PV/thermal parabolic trough concentrator systems; and solar cooling. Research spans the spectrum from the fundamental to the applied. Engagement with companies and a vigorous outreach program support the research.
