IPVF (Institut Photovoltaïque d’Ile de France )
French National Project (IEED)
Location : Ecole polytechnique campus
2016-2017
IPVF in a few words
Creation of a national institute with a faculty staff 150-200 p, budget of about
200 M€ (for 10 years) and building 9 000 m2.
Collaboration between academic and industrial partners : CNRS (French
National research council), Ecole polytechnique, Total, EDF, HORIBA, RIBER,
AIR LIQUIDE
Objective : breakthrough on future PV technologies for a competitive energy
cost on the international market, based on the use of high technology
platforms
High quality formation of the international students required by the PV
laboratories and the industrial R&D centers (REST Master program)
Located on Plateau de Saclay (Ecole polytechnique campus) in order to take
advantage of the best european scientific environment

The IPVF strategy based on the innovation triangle
In order to obtain ambitious objectives, the IPVF strategy is based on
three main pillars :

Research : high technological experimental platforms used by the best PV research
teams at the international level

Developpement : R&D industrial research including development of pilot lines

Education : the IPVF equipments will be used by international Master students on
renewable energies (Master program REST), and PhD students.
