Significance for science
Reasearch and development in the field of photovoltaics as one of the most promising long-term Renewable Energy Source solutions for electricity supply has immense importance for sustainable evolution in energy sector in Europe and Slovenia. Photovoltaics rapidly grows into an economy sector that reached the level of grid-parity. Besides fundamental research, which generated numerous scientific publications in the top PV specialized international journals, we are more and more involved in applied research and development of new technologies and products in the field of photovoltaics and electronics. Strengthened cooperation with companies in Slovenia and abroad is evident. Our contribution to the development of science is reflected also in an increasing number of invited speeches at specialized international conferences and invited lectures at other universities and institutes around the globe.
Significance for the country
Energy situation will certainly strongly affect the future of economic development in Slovenia. Resorces of conventional energy sources become scarce, their harmful use accelerates climate change and environmental pollution. Energy sustainability of individual countries on macro-economical level and of individual residential areas or houses on micro-economical level will importantly affect the socio-economic system. The question of reliable, efficient and up-most sustainable and environmentally friendly energy supply will tailor the development and competitiveness also in Slovenia. Research program Semiconductor Electronics 2009-2014 was important for Slovenia from the following criteria: - introduction of ecologically natural energy sources, - contribution to new solutions in semiconductor structures in photovoltaics, - development of photovoltaic modules and other products, - affirmation of Slovenian research community in international arena, - cooperation of research group with foreign research and development groups around the globe, - cooperation with other research groups and exchange of experiences, equipment and personnel in interdisciplinary fields, - educating and training of highly skilled researchers in the field of applied sciences and technologies, - creation of economic sectors and new jobs in the 21st century, - deployment of ecology oriented strategy of Slovenia with the introduction of renewable energy sources for abatement of CO2 emissions. Numerous achievements speak for themselves. In recognition of our achievements we can also count that professor Marko Topic became the chairman of the European Photovoltaic Technology Platform (elected in Dec 2014).
