  • From Monday, 3rd of July, to Friday, 7th of July
    • Fourteen 45-min long lectures (> 10 hours of theory), given by experts in solar energy from TU Delft and other international universities, R&D centres, and companies
    • Eight 2.5-hour long practical sessions to accommodate up to 24 attendees in our PV Laboratory as well as access to our Virtual PV Laboratory (3-D virtual environment) until the end of July 2023
  • On Wednesday, 5th of July
    • An industrial tour
    • An inspiring plenary talk, given by Prof. dr. Eicke Weber (Chair of the European Solar Manufacturing Council ESMC) on The future of photovoltaic (PV) energy conversion and Gigawatt-scale PV production in Europe
    • Summer School banquet
  • On Friday, 7th of July, a closing session

 The practical sessions will focus on the following topics: 

  • PV1   -   Discover and measure properties of light
  • PV2   -   Build your EQE setup and measure spectral response of real devices
  • PV3   -   Characterize commercially-available PV modules (JV and EL)
  • PV4   -   Understand the charging cycle of batteries and justify the use of charge controller
  • PV5   -   Simulate a complete PV system from power electronics perspective
  • PV6   -   Mount and characterize a real 2 kWp grid-connected DC-coupled PV system with AC backup
