We propose a Centre for Doctoral Training in New and Sustainable PV. It will support the transformation of PV in the UK will that will in turn aid the country to achieve its renewal energy obligations, and will generate jobs in the technology sectors as well as local manufacturing and installation. The CDT allows for the distributed nature of PV research in the UK with a multi-centre team of seven partners covering all aspects of PV research from novel materials through new device architectures to PV systems and performance. The PhD projects and training span engineering and physical science expertise in materials and device physics, electronic engineering, physical and synthetic chemistry, operations management and manufacturing. The CDT graduates will be capable of transforming state of the art R&D across the PV technologies and, in so doing, contribute to the production and implementation of improved PV products and systems.All partners are members of the SuperSolar Hub and hence already coordinate integrated PV research and training. Students in the CDT will join a thriving research community. The team has unrivalled access to shared facilities in the best state of the art laboratories in the UK. Our group approach brings together expertise with a breadth and depth for training and research that could not be assembled in any other way. Moreover, the collaboration allows us to cut across the traditional boundaries in PV and enables exciting research vectors to be followed in New and Sustainable PV CDT agenda. International collaborations and formal exchange agreements will emphasise the global aspects of advanced research that are important for the development of a leadership group.The CDT members will interact with related research themes such as photochemical conversion of fuels for energy and other applications, and heating and cooling by solar radiation and will be a proactive member of the UK wide Network of Energy CDTs.Our goal is to train the best researchers with a flexible mindset able to communicate across different disciplines and be leaders in the emerging PV industry for advanced technologies. We will provide the training required for graduates to join the sustainable energy and PV sectors. We will establish a real identity of purpose and commonality in each cohort through a training programme designed to give students an understanding of all aspects of PV, including implications for society and an experience of a commercial environment. Students will be provided with a bespoke curriculum and training programme that exposes them to: (i) underpinning fundamentals across all the relevant disciplines, (ii) current state-of-the-art in knowledge and challenges in scale-up and systems, and (iii) unparalleled opportunities to engage in leading-edge interdisciplinary research projects as part of a national team. We will create a doctoral training environment in which students benefit from leading academic expertise and world-class facilities to develop their knowledge as well as the tools to innovate and create within their selected research theme. The unique cross functional skill-sets that our graduates will have will make them highly valuable to the academic community seeking to address ambitious basic manufacturing research challenges, and to industry, who have an urgent need for appropriately trained scientists and engineers able to support PV technologies within their commercial operations.To allow the students the chance to develop a common sense of purpose, each cohort will attend training events together. Courses will cover fundamental aspects common to all PV technologies and also advanced courses based on the partners' research expertise. There will be industrial and international placements. Coherence across the CDT will be aided by a virtual collaboration medium containing webinars and video lectures and pages where students and staff can collaborate via groups, and online forums.

我们建议在新的和可持续的PV中进行博士培训中心。它将支持英国意志的PV转型，这反过来又可以帮助该国实现其更新的能源义务，并将在技术领域以及本地制造和安装中创造就业机会。 CDT允许英国PV研究的分布性质，由一个由七个合作伙伴组成的多中心团队涵盖了从新材料到新设备体系结构到PV系统和性能的PV研究的各个方面。博士学位和培训跨越材料和设备物理，电子工程，物理和合成化学，运营管理和制造方面的工程和物理科学专业知识。 CDT毕业生将能够在PV技术中转变最新的研发状态，并且这样做为改进的PV产品和系统的生产和实施做出了贡献。所有合作伙伴都是SuperSolar Hub的成员，因此已经协调了集成的PV研究和培训。 CDT的学生将加入一个蓬勃发展的研究社区。该团队在英国最佳的最佳实验室中无法获得共享设施。我们的小组方法将培训和研究的广度和深度汇集在一起​​，无法以其他方式组装。此外，这项合作使我们能够跨越PV中的传统界限，并使新的和可持续的PV CDT议程中遵循令人兴奋的研究向量。国际合作和正式的交流协议将强调高级研究的全球方面，这对于领导力小组的发展很重要。CDT成员将与相关研究主题互动，例如对能源和其他应用的光化学转化，以及太阳辐射的供暖和冷却，并将与跨越的目标培训能力的领导者，以培训范围的范围。在新兴的PV行业中，用于高级技术。我们将提供毕业生加入可持续能源和光伏部门所需的培训。我们将通过一个培训计划在每个队列中建立真正的目标和共性身份，旨在使学生了解PV的各个方面，包括对社会的影响和商业环境的经验。将为学生提供定制的课程和培训计划，使他们受到：（i）在所有相关学科的基础上的基础，（ii）在扩展和系统中的知识和挑战方面的最新目前，以及（iii）从事领先的跨学科研究项目的无与伦比的机会。我们将创建一个博士培训环境，在该环境中，学生将从领先的学术专业知识和世界一流的设施中受益，以发展知识，以及在其选定的研究主题中创新和创建的工具。我们的毕业生将拥有独特的交叉功能技能，这将使他们对寻求应对雄心勃勃的基本制造研究挑战的学术社区以及对迫切需要迫切需要经过适当培训的科学家和工程师支持其商业运营中的PV技术的行业的行业。课程将涵盖所有PV技术常见的基本方面，并根据合作伙伴的研究专业知识进行高级课程。将有工业和国际安置。包含网络研讨会和视频讲座和页面的虚拟协作媒体将帮助整个CDT的连贯性，学生和员工可以通过小组和在线论坛进行协作。
