During the pilot phase (until summer 2023), INES provided training on photovoltaic principles and manufacturing to 199 students, teachers, researchers, or professionals, achieving a high satisfaction rate. The pilot phase concluded this summer with course analysis. Starting from September 2023, INES commenced delivering enhanced courses as part of the field trial.
In the consolidation phase (since September 2023), 163 students have been trained. The objectives were to explore the scientific and technological fundamentals of each stage of PV cell and module manufacturing, from raw materials to accelerated module aging and on-site results. The training covered theory and application of the latest advancements and trends in PV research and industry, with a particular focus on short and medium-term innovations and developments.
