Mission
KAUST S​olar Center's mission is to create new​ science and technology in the field of solar energy conversion, providing an environment for interdisciplinary research, training and innovation.

Research focus:
The current expertise in the Center is centered on photovoltaic applications based on organic, hybrid and perovskite materials. The research accomplishments of the KAUST Solar Center (KSC) faculty, helps establish the KSC as a renowned Center in these emerging photovoltaic technologies, from materials design, modeling, synthesis, and characterization to processing and solar cell fabrication. Our objectives are to:

Strengthen the technology portfolio of the Center in emerging photovoltaic applications by developing innovative activities that are enabled by, and intimately integrate, the complementary expertise of KSC faculty.
Pursue high impact activities in established technologies and deploy synergistic research and engineering efforts combining existing and emerging technologies.

Research facilities:
​KSC is one of the world's largest and best equipped academic centers for solar energy research and technology, supporting a broad research portfolio of collaborative projects.

KSC hosts 3000m2 lab space area with more than 900 instruments:
Material synthesis: more than 30 fume hoods, preparative GPC, flash chromatography GCMS, microwave reactors.
Material deposition and processing: PECVD, PVD including sputtering and evaporation, ALD, inkjet printing, roll-to-roll printing, optical/laser/nanoimprint lithography.
Material and device characterization: SEM-FIB-EDX, AFM, UV-VIS-IR, micro and nano-Raman spectroscopies, photoluminescence, femtosecond laser spectroscopy, photoelectron spectroscopy, x-ray fluorescence, Kelvin probe microscopy, Hall effect, solar-cell efficiency measurement tools.

Support me:
1. Tell me which other trade shows I should livestream from, anywhere around the world, as long as they don't have medical treatment requirements to travel there and attend the show, and if I can have my trip sponsored, then I will be happy to go there!
2. Use the "Thanks!" function under any of my videos on YouTube. Your Thanks comment can be highlighted comment under the video.
3. Send me superchats as I livestream (that will for sure also make sure that I highlight your comment more)
4. If you shop on Amazon (I think possibly not only the USA but on any other Amazon too), always use my Amazon Shop link first then browse to buy whatever you want http://amazon.com/shop/charbax then I get paid 4% commission by Amazon for whatever you buy, which I can use to buy more gear for my livestreaming and 4K60 video-blogging setup.
5. Become a YouTube Member on my channel at http://youtube.com/charbax/join I can give members early instant access to all my uploads before they get released publicly, I could also do members only livechatting on certain livestreams and other features like that to come up..
6. Let me know what kind of merchandize I should try to sell on my YouTube videos, I am thinking to add some funny T-shirts and stuff like that.
