Reliability Evaluation Through Analytics and Data for Emerging Technology in Photovoltaics

Ready-PV Partners Join the Global Perovskite Stability Community at ISOS-17 in Paris-Saclay

  • Ready-PV Partners Join the Global Perovskite Stability Community at ISOS-17 in Paris-Saclay

    Fourteen researchers from six Ready-PV institutions took part in the 17th International Summit on Organic and Hybrid Perovskite Solar Cell Stability.

    Paris-Saclay, 21–23 September 2026. The Ready-PV consortium was well represented at ISOS-17, the 17th International Summit on Organic and Hybrid Perovskite Solar Cell Stability. IPVF (Institut Photovoltaïque d’Île-de-France) hosted the summit at EDF Lab Paris-Saclay.

    A Forum Dedicated to PV Stability

    ISOS is the reference forum for stability research in next-generation photovoltaics. Its aims are to share the latest research findings, to establish standardised testing protocols, and to move perovskite solar cell technology towards commercial viability. The three-day programme brought together researchers, industry, funders and academic partners, with invited talks, oral and poster sessions, discussion and networking, and tours of IPVF’s pilot line.

    Why It Matters for Ready-PV

    Long-term reliability is still the main open question for perovskite, tandem and other emerging PV technologies. It is also the reason Ready-PV exists. The project connects Europe’s most advanced research infrastructures, from outdoor test fields and indoor stability labs to advanced characterisation and AI-based digital tools. Through the Ready-PV GATE, researchers and industry users can access these facilities free of charge, transnationally, to test the reliability of new PV modules. ISOS-17 was a natural place to share this approach with the community that is defining stability testing protocols, and to build contacts with future users of the infrastructures.
