Solar Power and Microelectronic Engineering: Sustainability on Earth and Power in Space

Stop by for a hands-on sneak peak at what it's like to be a high efficiency solar panel engineer! Different types of solar power, hands-on solar power demos, how solar energy is transformed into electricity, how semiconductor crystals are made, examples of our very own devices fabricated in the clean room at RIT, and much more await you! Learn about the traditional and the next generation ideas for solar power, on Earth, on the moon, and beyond. Ask us all your questions about working in the clean room, our projects in laser power converters, reusable substrates, LEDs, multijunction solar cells, and more, as well as our experience taking a full-process approach to designing, growing, fabricating, testing, and simulating solar cells.
