A EUROPEAN PROJECT SUPPORTED THROUGH
THE SEVENTH FRAMEWORK PROGRAMME
FOR RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT
CHEETAH knowledge Exchange Portal is an integral part of CHEETAH project web site powered and developed by DTE unit of ENEA ©2014 - 2018 with support of all CHEETAH Partners. Starting from early 2018, CHEETAH KEP moved its first steps to became EERA Knowledge Exchange Platform for PV Technology (KEPT-PV). A new name for the previous platform characterizing our will to serve better and more efficiently in Knowledge Exchange a wider European and International PV RTD community.

UTV-Centre for Hybrid and Organic Solar Energy” (CHOSE)

  • Research and development for the industrialization of organic and hybrid organic-inorganic technologies

Technical Info

MAIN FEATURES:

The university has established in 2006 together with the Lazio Region the “Centre for Hybrid and Organic Solar Energy” (CHOSE) – www.chose.it.

The centre’s objectives are the research and development for the industrialization of organic and hybrid organic-inorganic technologies via three main steps

  • define a technological process for organic/hybrid cells,
  • develop fabrication processes for industrialization
  • foster technology transfer towards SMEs.

CHOSE has the main facility at the Technology park “Tecnopolo Tiburtino” with over 600m2 laboratory comprising a 450sqm of class ISO7 clean room with all the equipment necessary to carry out research on photovoltaic technology.

In particular, the laboratories have been set up with a vast range of equipment for the fabrication and testing of organic, polymer and hybrid cells and large area glass and plastic modules including an outdoor meteorological and panel measurement station.

More than 30 researchers including 15 PhDs, 8 Post Docs, 4 Staff Members and other students and technicians are currently working at CHOSE

Available equipment:

  1. Automated AMAT screen printers (up to 20x30 cm2 area)
  2. Automated large area spray coater and ink-jet printing (up to 20x30 cm2 area)
  3. Glove box with integrated metal and organic evaporators
  4. Blade coating, Dispensing machine, Dyeing machine
  5. Laminators
  6. Confocal microscope
