Shipon Chandra Barman has been awarded the prestigious Clean Energy Tech Award 2026 for his ground-breaking work in optimizing solar photovoltaic (PV) module manufacturing.
The award was presented at International Royal Golden Fellow Award Ceremony, held in conjunction with the Sixth International Conference on Research Methodology (COM 6.0 2026) on March 30"31.
Selected from a highly competitive pool of global submissions, Mr. Barman’s research was recognized for its originality, technical rigor and real-world applicability in advancing sustainable energy technologies.
His study focused on optimizing lamination parameters of PV modules using Design of Experiments (DOE) and Statistical Process Control (SPC), examining how temperature, pressure and curing time affect efficiency, durability and defect formation.
Based on 60 experimental trials with monocrystalline silicon cells, the research demonstrated measurable improvements in power output, adhesion strength, defect reduction and thermal stability, while ensuring consistent manufacturing performance validated through process capability analysis.
The award, jointly conferred by Eudoxia Research University and Eudoxia Research Centre, highlights his contribution to delivering practical, data-driven strategies for improving the quality, reliability and efficiency of solar module production.
The event gathered participants from more than ten countries, offering a platform for global academic and industrial collaboration.
The selection process was overseen by an internationally recognized Central Organizing Committee, including Prof. Dr. Rhituraj Saikia, Prof. Dr. Caleb Moyo, Prof. Dr. Dimitrios A. Karras, Prof. Dr. Pratisha Kumari, Dr. Rania Lampou, Prof. Dr. Rajesh G. Konnur, Dr. Bulus Pikitda, Flavia Ceccato and Dr. Smreeti Mehta.
Mr. Barman’s achievement underscores the growing global emphasis on scalable, reliable renewable energy solutions as nations accelerate their transition toward sustainability.
