Module 1: Introduction: Need and Prospects of PV

Module 2: Basics of solar energy conversion: Basic optoelectronic properties of materials

Fundamental limits: single junction, multi-junction, Tandem Device configurations for efficient collection of photo-generated carriers: PN (c-Si), PIN (Organic,perovskite), Carrier-selective, Tandem

Module 3: From cell to Module Equivalent circuits, Small area to large area device

Large area Device to Module: Series vs. parallel connection, Bifacial modules Module in practical conditions, degradation mechanisms, predictive modelling

Module 4: System-Level concerns

Grid-connected PV, LCOE (panel vs. Balance of systems), Power systems aspects, Variability, Storage, Solar Farms.
