From 30th September to 2nd of October HZB will be hosting the 15th edition of the International Summit on Organic and Hybrid Perovskite Solar Cell Stability (ISOS 15) organized by the group of Helmholtz-Center Berlin and the Humboldt University.
The summit has been an important forum for the ongoing discussion on topics of stability of organic and hybrid perovskite solar cells since 2008. It has resulted in impactful outcomes such as the ISOS protocols for the ageing of third generation solar cells. And is driven by a worldwide community of research experts on the topic of stability of such solar cells.
With increasing efficiencies and the potential for broad use cases for third generation solar cells this summit is on the important topic of stability. This theme is especially important as beyond purely efficiency it is a major driver for the viability of a solar cell technology as it is also an important determinant for the resulting levelized cost of energy.
The summit will tackle the topic of stability on its various levels from intrinsic stability of materials to methods how to properly protect devices from extrinsic degradation. But also discussing challenges like the metrology of ageing experiments as well as proper design of such experiments.
