Learner Reviews & Feedback for Silicon Thin Film Solar Cells by École Polytechnique

Too strong of an accent, accompanied with the really poor transcript. Took too long to do the last assignment!

Although few questions were not related to the videos , but discussion forum helped me a lot. Overall Very helpful course , especially those animations and diagrams cleared my doubts easily. Thanks to Prof. Drevillion and Prof. Johnson.

Learnt more knowledge about Silicon Thin film solar cells.

More explanation and examples may be included in the course materials for doing numerical problems given in the Quizzes. Thank you.

Very good course, i have learnt alot about thin solar cells such as c-Si, amorphous Si, nano-Si, combining them with other types of solar cell such as germanium-based solar cells to make multi-junction solar cells to improve their efficiencies. Furthermore, i have learnt about transparent conductive layer as well as the advantages and drawbacks of the different types of solar cell materials.

The insights provided by this course on photovoltaics is really great. The numericals dealt with in this course are very timely and appropriate. Looking forward to more courses from ECOLE Polytechnique.

Both of the teachers are very conceptual,and ones can easily learn this course by giving some extra time.Thanks to the teaching staff and the team of coursera.

Pr.Bernard was excellent,very clear and was to the point .it was very useful and interesting .

Teachers are experts in the area and the course is understandable and useful.

Excellent

Very good course to get insight into the solar cells working however, more quiz questions can be given for practice, I have completed other courses also from Ecole Polytechnique, they have the best explanation and course material, looking forward for more such courses. Thanks, Coursera for bringing these courses on the platform.

I think it would be better if materials such as how chemical elements/compounds are analyzed and selected for modeling more advanced PV cells. and advises on how can us student get into PV research.

Thank you.

the content is good for me to get more knowledge of solar cell, however, the assignment tests are quite tough sometimes

It is a nice course for beginners in si solarcells

should be more interactive.

Such a good course

Hard to understand accent most of the time. But good content and discussion forum

Instructor language was somewhat difficult to understand

not bad!
