pv magazine spent Q4 2019 looking at the use of lead in c-Si modules as a part of its UP initiative. Topics included the use of lead in perovskites and lead alternatives. Read more, stay tuned and get involved!
DST and National Research Foundation of Korea (an affiliated organization of MSIT) will conduct parallel review of the applications based on the agreed criteria.
Each selected project will be funded for a period of three years. DST would support expenditure on Indian side, whereas MSIT would meet the expenditure of Korean side. However, projects on both sides must pass the annual evaluation in each country for continuation of funding.
On the Korean side, MSIT’s tentative funding amount for each project would be approximately 40 million won per year.
Final decision for selection will be taken by mid September, and the research projects shall commence by October 1, 2020.
