The IUCRC for Next Generation Photovoltaics (NGPV) is a two-site I/UCRC entering its second Phase of operation. The center comprises personnel and facilities at The University of Texas at Austin and Colorado State University. Energy sustainability represents one of the grand challenges facing modern society, and solar power provides an important source of renewable energy. Sunlight can be converted directly to electricity using a photovoltaic (PV) device, or solar cell, and the vision and long-term goal of the Next Generation Photovoltaics (NGPV) IUCRC is to help establish PV electricity as a major source of energy in the United States and the world. The NGPV IUCRC is at the forefront of PV research. The goals of this project are for the Center to bring technological, engineering, educational and policy advances to enable a significant increase in the use of PV and make solar electricity a major source of energy. The research program focuses on advancing PV materials and devices, seeking to improve device efficiencies while lowering cost, as well as other key issues facing the PV industry, including challenges associated with balance of systems (BOS), maintenance and operations (M&O), deployment strategies, policy and education. The NGPV IUCRC provides a collaborative environment between the PV industry and university researchers to enable ground-breaking advances in PV. To enable solar to be a major source of energy, the Center is working to introduce a number of technological, engineering, educational, and policy advances. During Phase I of the NGPV IUCRC, working in close collaboration with industry, new strategies have been developed to lower the cost of power generated by solar cells. For instance, key technologies have been created within the I/UCRC research program and translated into industry for commercial use by PV module producers and has resulted in the formation of three startup companies. Nearly 40 students at all levels have been trained in the center. To address the needs of the Industry, new research sites at Texas A&M University (TAMU) and the Colorado School of Mines are being created. Recruitment and training of students among under-represented groups will continue to be a focus effort of the NGPV IUCRC with the aim of significantly increasing the diversity of the workforce in both academia and the PV industry.

下一代光伏（NGPV）的IUCRC是进入其第二阶段操作的两个站点I/UCRC。该中心包括德克萨斯大学奥斯汀和科罗拉多州立大学的人员和设施。能源可持续性代表了现代社会面临的巨大挑战之一，太阳能提供了可再生能源的重要来源。可以使用光伏（PV）设备或太阳能电池直接转换为电能，以及下一代光伏电动机（NGPV）IUCRC的视觉和长期目标是帮助建立PV电力作为主要能源作为主要能源。美国和世界。 NGPV IUCRC处于光伏研究的最前沿。该项目的目标是为了使中心带来技术，工程，教育和政策的进步，以使PV的使用大大增加，并使太阳能成为主要能源。 该研究计划的重点是推进PV材料和设备，试图提高设备效率的同时降低成本，以及PV行业面临的其他关键问题，包括与系统平衡（BOS）相关的挑战（BOS），维护和运营（M＆O），部署，部署策略，政策和教育。 NGPV IUCRC在PV行业和大学研究人员之间提供了一个协作环境，以实现PV的突破性进步。为了使太阳能成为主要能源，该中心正在努力介绍许多技术，工程，教育和政策进步。 在NGPV IUCRC的第一阶段，与行业密切合作，已经制定了新的策略来降低太阳能电池产生的电力成本。例如，在I/UCRC研究计划中创建了关键技术，并将其转化为PV模块生产商商业用途的行业，并导致了三家创业公司的成立。在中心已经培训了近40名各级学生。为了满足该行业的需求，正在创建德克萨斯农工大学（TAMU）和科罗拉多州矿业学院的新研究网站。 在代表性不足的群体中对学生的招聘和培训将继续是NGPV IUCRC的重点努力，目的是显着增加学术界和PV行业的劳动力多样性。
