Could the sun (re)become our first source of energy?

Why have we forgotten, neglected, discredited it?

Are we finally ready to reconnect with our star?

Yes, replies Professor Daniel Lincot, an eminent specialist in photovoltaic solar energy, who will tell us why and above all how to reconnect with this formidable universal solar energy.

Under the sun exactly today, to rediscover its tremendous energy, universal and unlimited, renewable every morning!

It is thanks to her that we live, we like everything that grows on Earth.

It is thanks to this extraterrestrial and so abundant energy, that of the sun on which we can now, thanks to photovoltaic cells, connect ourselves directly to produce the electricity we need.

A real revolution underway, but how far and above all how to make it happen?

This is precisely what our guest, the chemist

Daniel Lincot

, a pioneer researcher at the CNRS and a major player in the staggering advances in photovoltaics, is working on.

He is the guest, this year, at the Collège de France of the 

Liliane Bettancourt Chair of Technological Innovation

to share his research on the major role of solar energy in our global energy transition.
