SOPHIA is an FP7-funded Infrastructure project with the aim of strengthening and optimizing PV research capabilities within Europe. Further details on SOPHIA are available at the website http://www.sophia-ri.eu.
SOPHi@Webinar
is the internal e-learning platform offering on-line in-depth training and discussions to all SOPHIA partners. The initiative is also open, on request, to interested universities, research organizations, and Ph.D courses outside SOPHIA.
The SOPHIA Webinars offer:
- Comprehensive information on different aspects of the utilization of PV research infrastructure/techniques and research protocols.
- An overview on advantages/ disadvantages and point of strength/weakness/opportunity/ threat respect other similar infrastructure/characterization techniques.
- A presentation on several outstanding technical-scientific results highlighting the potential in utilizing the infrastructure/technique/scientific protocol
Further information is available on the following pages:
Main SOPHi@Webinar Topics
SOPHIA webinars are focused on
- Si Technology
- OPV Organic Photovoltaics
- TF Thin Film Technology
- CPV Concentrated Photovoltaics
- Material and Cell Characterization
- Material and Cell Modelling
- Lifetime prediction and reliability
- Module and System Performance:data base and procedures

Sophi@webinar also proposes online short courses organized by proposing several webinar on a common theme.
The webinars are based :
on a Power Point presentation or similar file. The speaker can also use the webcam to show necessary equipment or other visual aids.
The duration of each webinar/speech is between 35-45 minutes, with 15-20 minutes for questions or comments.

Concentrating photovoltaics Technology (CPV) has become a relevant technology for solar energy conversion. Especially under high concentration, the use of cost-effective, high-efficiency multi-junction solar cells enable high system efficiencies and a competitive levelized cost of electricity in regions with a large fraction of direct irradiance. However, the development of this technology requires the utilization of specific indoor/outdoor characterization techniques that are not yet widely known. A review of current hot topics in indoor/outdoor CPV characterization in energy and performance testing will be presented and discussed during this short SOPHIA on line course.
