ISOS 16: International Summit on Organic and Hybrid Photovoltaics Stability

ISOS 16: International Summit on Organic and Hybrid Photovoltaics Stability
The International Summit on Organic and Hybrid Photovoltaics Stability (ISOS) centers on the critical theme of enhancing the long-term and operational stability of organic and hybrid perovskite solar cells.
Details of the conference
Emerging photovoltaic technologies are celebrated for their high efficiency and low-cost potential. Commercial uptake is however limited due to a lack of understanding and mitigating degradation mechanisms driven by exposure to harsh outdoor real-life working conditions. Since 2008, this conference has united global experts to address the degradation challenges these solar cells face due to environmental factors like moisture, heat, and light, as well as intrinsic material limitations, which hinder their commercial viability despite lab successes.
By exploring standardised testing protocols, innovative materials, and advanced device engineering, ISOS aims to balance efficiency with durability. In this way, the community tries to ensure these promising renewable energy solutions can withstand real-world conditions over time. This will result in further reducing the levelized cost of electricity and thus advancing the practical adoption of these new emerging organic and hybrid photovoltaic solutions.
