Ingrid Repins

Ingrid Repins is a Senior Research Fellow at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), specializing in photovoltaics reliability research within the Materials, Chemical, and Computational Science division. With over 20 years of experience in photovoltaics, she focuses on materials science, device physics, and reliability engineering for solar technologies.

• PhD in Physics from Colorado State University
• Master's and Bachelor's degrees in Physics from Colorado State and Stanford Universities

Her research spans thin-film solar cells, perovskite degradation mechanisms, and accelerated reliability testing. Recent work emphasizes criticality analysis for PV standards, photooxidation in perovskite modules, and LETID-induced energy yield loss.

• R&D 100 Award (2004) for Lightweight Flexible Thin-Film CIGS PV Modules

She serves on committees for UL Standards, U.S. Technical Advisory Groups, and international quality assurance task forces for photovoltaics.
