Welcome

ThinPV is a project that gathers the main Swiss research teams and companies in the field of thin film photovoltaics (>partners).

ThinPV intends to

... perform world-class research and development that targets breakthroughs in photovoltaic device efficiency and cost efficient production,

... create a thin film photovoltaics platform in Switzerland that promotes partnering between Swiss Federal Institutions, Universities, Universities of Applied Sciences and industry,

... generate visibility and attract young scientists to the field of thin film photovoltaics by organizing national and international workshops and by developing educational activites.

ThinPV has been created within the framework of the Swiss Competence Center for Energy and Mobility (CCEM-CH) and receives additional funding from Swisselectric Research.
