A recent study led by SUNLAB PhD candidate Erin Tonita in collaboration with Arizona State University’s DEfECT Lab has been published in Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells. The authors investigated the effect of incident spectra on current loss in high efficiency textured bifacial silicon heterojunction solar cells. They developed […]
SUNLAB researchers, including lead author PhD candidate Gavin Forcade, in collaboration with researchers at the Université de Sherbrooke, the French Commissariat à l’énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives (CEA) and in part supported by collaborators from STACE, recently published new results in Progress in Photovoltaics. They investigated an antireflection coating […]
Congratulations to Meghan Beattie and Kayden Kaller who recently defended their theses! They will receive their diplomas at the fall convocation.

After a first appearance on CBC Radio’s All in a Day last November, SUNLAB director Karin Hinzer was reinvited to its segment “Element of Surprise” where she discussed the use of indium in her research. Click here for the full interview which had its first broadcast on July 27.
Join Professor Karin Hinzer and her team from uOttawa’s SUNLAB with special guest former SUNLAB postdoctoral fellow Dr. Richard Beal from Spectrafy. The team will highlight their research in photovoltaic technologies and systems that generate energy from light, from cutting-edge photonic power transmission technology to photovoltaic system design in Canada’s […]
Congratulations to SUNLAB students Gavin Forcade, Mandy Lewis, Ras-Jeevan Obhi and Annie Russell on receiving prestigious scholarships from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada. Both Gavin Forcade and Mandy Lewis have been awarded an Alexander Graham Bell Canada Graduate Scholarship. This scholarship rewards top-level graduate students at […]
Congratulations to SUNLAB director Dr. Karin Hinzer and Centre for Research in Photonics at the University of Ottawa director Dr. Pierre Berini on being awarded new funding from the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) for their project titled “Transformative nanophotonics”. This project is one in 23 across Canada to receive […]
Congratulations to PhD candidate Meghan Beattie and her research collaborators from the SUNLAB and the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems on winning a Paper Award at the 3rd Optical Wireless and Fiber Power Transmission Conference (OWPT) this week. Meghan presented a talk titled “Non-uniform illumination impacts on O-band InGaAsP […]
SUNLAB researchers, including lead author PhD candidate Meghan Beattie, in collaboration with researchers at the University of Waterloo, recently published new results in Applied Physics Letters. They investigated the effect of growth temperature during molecular beam epitaxy on the performance of an InAlGaAs tunnel diode grown on InP and fully […]
