Solar Fab education and outreach
The Solar Fab periodically conducts a weeklong educational class affectionately dubbed “SC-101” (Solar Cell 101). The course begins with the mandatory safety training required to work in the lab, and then the participants actually make solar cells, create a mini module, and test the cells and modules along the way. Interspersed through the hands-on portion are periodic lectures on various aspects of solar.
Class tours or visits to the Solar Fab are also encouraged for anyone who wants to learn about cleanrooms or solar cell fabrication, characterization and testing.
For more information or to schedule an educational activity, please contact a Solar Fab staff member.
