IPVF – Photovoltaic Institute of Île-deFrance

The Île-de-France Photovoltaic Institute (IPVF), an institute for energy transition created in 2013, is a scientific and technical hub dedicated to the research and development of solar technologies . Located at its Paris-Saclay site, it brings together its own staff, employees of its partners, and those of external companies. The IPVF aims to become one of the world's leading centers for research, innovation, and training in the field of energy transition.

The IPVF's primary objective is to improve the performance and competitiveness of photovoltaic cells and to develop disruptive technologies by focusing on four key areas:

• An ambitious research program;
• The reception, on its Paris-Saclay site, of more than 200 researchers and their laboratories;
• A state-of-the-art technological platform (8,000 m²) open to players in the photovoltaic sector, and bringing together more than 100 cutting-edge pieces of equipment located in clean rooms;
• A training program mainly based on a master's degree, supervision of doctoral students, and continuing education.

Brief history:

The IPVF was founded in 2013 at the initiative of the French State, EDF, TotalEnergies, Air Liquide, CNRS, Ecole Polytechnique, Horiba and Riber. Bringing together more than 150 researchers, our 8,000 m² platform in Paris-Saclay is a one-stop shop for all types of deep tech research and innovation.

• A world leader in photovoltaic R&D, bringing together the best French teams in research, innovation and industrial production, in partnership with major international institutes, particularly in Europe,
• A leader in the development of photovoltaic technology building blocks in line with market trends,
• A benchmark in sending the most promising R&D concepts to the industry.

INTERNSHIP CONTEXT

This internship is part of a collaborative project aimed at developing new methods for characterizing solar panels. We are looking for a curious and proactive candidate capable of successfully managing various aspects of research and technological development. The internship will involve designing and characterizing an optical device to assess the proper functioning of a solar cell within a module.

The internship will take place at the IPVF.

MAIN MISSIONS

• Internship with a strong experimental focus.
• The intern will be involved in the development and characterization of waveguides (optics, spectroscopy, power measurement, etc.) and their integration into solar cells. Simulation and dimensioning work may also be carried out.

The experiments will be carried out in a clean room.

REQUIRED PROFILE

Knowledge

• Physics, Optics
• A skill in modeling would be an asset.

Other skills

• Fundamentals in optics, spectroscopy, photoluminescence
• Methods for developing and characterizing materials (including concepts related to polymers)
• Ability to adapt to working in a cleanroom
