This Cluster researches novel and emerging solar PV materials, devices and applications that have the potential to gain market entry within the next 5-10 years. The experimental work in the semiconductor laboratories focuses on novel thin-film solar cells such as perovskite devices (both single- and multi-junction) and on perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells (SERIS flagship project). The device fabrication work is supported by a well-equipped Characterisation Laboratory for PV materials and cells, as well as a Thin-Film Device Modelling Team that operates a state-of-the-art simulation infrastructure. In December 2024, the Cluster had 35 members (including 15 PhD students) spread over two R&D Groups.
