Dutch/German consortium develops simplified tandem solar modules for European market
14-03-2023
In cooperation with Dutch and German industrial partners, TNO is advancing a tandem solar module suitable for early market introduction. The tandem solar module consists of monolithic perovskite/silicon solar cells on top of each other. This application can reach higher efficiencies than those achieved by current silicon-based solar modules, which results in more power per square meter and lower cost per kWh. FIT4Market, a four-year research project granted by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO), will help drive CO2 reduction through to 2030, thus supporting national climate objectives. Next to that it’s a new step in bringing PV production back to Europe and rebuilding a competitive PV supply chain.
