Profile | Photovoltaic solar power | Renewable energies
Dr. Hab.
Solenn Berson's research focuses on materials for renewable energy and, especially, new-generation photovoltaic cells.
In 2004, she earned her master's in engineering from CPE Lyon, an engineering school associated with the University of Lyon 1. She then went on to earn a PhD in materials chemistry from Grenoble Alpes University in 2007.
She completed several postdoctoral fellowships during her early research career, including one at CNRS and rubber manufacturing company Hutchinson in Strasbourg in 2008, and one at CEA-INES from 2008 to 2010. She joined CEA-INES in 2010, where she conducted research on organic photovoltaic (OPV) module processes and architectures.
From 2014 to 2020, she headed the organic photovoltaic modules laboratory. In 2021, she obtained her accreditation to supervise research (Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches, or HDR) at Grenoble Alpes University Doctoral School IMEP2.
Domains
Team
- Development of perovskite photovoltaic tandem architectures, with a focus on perovskite-silicon tandem and perovskite-perovskite tandem architectures;
- Printing and vacuum processes for the production of perovskites;
- Interfaces: passivation and transparent semiconductor oxide;
- Characterization of materials and optoelectronic performance of PV devices at t0 (baseline) and during aging.
The CEA has developed high-performance thin silicon solar cells for space applications. We have also demonstrated a process that enables these industrial-grade cells to be radiation-resistant in orbit.
The pilot line installed at Envie 2E Aquitaine demonstrates the relevance of the abrasion solution developed by the CEA within the ITE INES.2S.
