The Fundamentals of Photovoltaics: Scientific, Engineering, Economic, Policy, and Market Dimensions
David Danielson, Adam Lorenz, Tonio Buonassisi
No limit but advance sign up required (see contact below)
Signup by: 05-Jan-2006
Participants welcome at individual sessions (series)
Prereq: None
The aim of this course is to provide a broad overview of the scientific, engineering, economic, and policy drivers and challenges for traditional and next-generation photovoltaic technologies. The course will consist of a series of lectures featuring guests from the MIT community and beyond and tours of a local solar energy manufacturing plant and a PV installation at MIT. The technical emphasis of the course will be strong but balanced, to expand the horizons of both individuals with scientific & engineering as well as non-technical backgrounds.

The Materials Science of Renewable Energy: Materials Fundamentals in Fuel Cells, Solar Cells, and Batteries
David Danielson, Josh Hertz, Elsa Olivetti, Ken Avery
No limit but advance sign up required (see contact below)
Signup by: 25-Dec-2005
Participants welcome at individual sessions (series)
Prereq: None
This course will provide a foundation for understanding materials issues underpinning three key electronic and electrochemical renewable energy devices: fuel cells, solar cells, and batteries. The operating principles, terminology, and dominant technologies will be reviewed, materials limitations will be discussed, and current research approaches will be presented. Characterization methods for these materials and devices will be presented in both classroom and hands-on settings.
