One characteristic of
the Centre which has led to the success of the educational programs
is the friendly atmosphere that is engendered by being a small school
with highly motivated academic and general staff. Furthermore, our
academic staff have been consistently ranked amongst the leaders
worldwide in the photovoltaic field through international peer review.
This team has held the world record for silicon solar cell efficiencies
for almost 15 years and has been responsible for developing the
most successfully commercialised new photovoltaic technology internationally
throughout the same period.
