sjTRECs
The sjTRECs, short for "Single-Junction Thin-Film Research and Evaluation Consortium," is a collaborative research initiative focused on advancing the development and optimization of single-junction thin-film photovoltaic (PV) technologies. Established as part of the broader U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO), the consortium brings together academic institutions, national laboratories, and industry partners to accelerate innovation in solar energy.
The primary goal of the sjTRECs is to improve the efficiency, durability, and cost-effectiveness of single-junction
Research within the sjTRECs focuses on areas such as material science, device engineering, and manufacturing processes.
The initiative aligns with broader efforts to reduce solar energy costs and increase its share of the
