The advanced photovoltaic research group is well-equipped with variety of fabrication and characterization tools. Major fabrication tools include a multichamber physical vapor deposition (PVD) system, rapid thermal processor and two glove boxes. 

Characterization facility in the PV material and device characterization lab includes state of the art IV/CV and solar simulator, and spectral response measurement systems. The optics lab has been equipped with state of the art steady state and time resolved fluorescence spectrometer and a femto second fluorescence spectrometer for spectral engineering of sunlight.
