Workshop

Together with the Centre for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden Württemberg (ZSW), the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and the ipv of the University of Stuttgart, Fraunhofer ISE is organising the 4th Perowskit Workshop Baden-Württemberg on 2 October 2025. The one-day event will take place after the Nature Conference ‘Advancing Perovskite-Based Photovoltaics’ at ZSW. Selected keynote speeches will provide an insight into current topics in perovskite research, which will then be discussed in plenary sessions.

Perovskite solar cells are a new type of thin-film photovoltaic technology with high potential for higher efficiencies and lower costs. They already achieve efficiencies of over 25% on a laboratory cell scale, and even over 33% in tandem, and can therefore help established solar cell technologies achieve significantly higher efficiencies. However, many technological and scientific aspects still need to be researched in more detail. Perovskites are therefore a highly topical field of research: not only worldwide, but also with growing commitment for the German research landscape in the south-west. With this workshop, we are therefore inviting all players from research, development and industry to present their research activities in a mutual exchange. Current topics in perovskite research will be discussed on the basis of invited keynote speeches.

Topics of the workshop:

• Potentials of perovskite research
• New materials
• Cells, modules and tandem solar cells
• Upscaling, process technologies
