Prof. Anil Kottantharayil, at NCPRE and PoTIC, organized a three-day short-term course titled "Theory and Technology of Silicon Solar Cells" from May 28th to May 30th, 2025. The course provided an intensive overview of both fundamental and advanced concepts related to silicon solar cell technology. Key topics included the physics of semiconductor devices, theory of silicon solar cells, production of silicon, and fabrication processes of industrial solar cell technologies such as Passivated Emitter and Rear Contact (PERC), Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact (TOPCon), HJT silicon solar cells and tandem solar cells. Sessions were conducted on advanced characterization techniques including luminescence imaging and Light Beam Induced Current (LBIC) methods. The course also included the practical sessions on simulation using PC1D and loss analysis of industrial PERC solar cells. A total of 34 participants from academia, industry, and research institutions including students and research staff benefitted from this course.
