Study manufacturing and performance trade-offs for flexible solar devices through a bounded research project.
Learners examine how production choices relate to device performance, stability, and scaling. Depending on available resources, the project may use literature-derived evidence, approved process data, or simulation. Any laboratory component requires a separately confirmed facility, safety process, and supervisory arrangement.
