The EU funds many solar cell projects, such as the PERTPV project, in which perovskite-based materials were used to build a new type of solar cell. Photovoltaic technology is becoming more widely used worldwide. Year after year, photovoltaics make up a bigger share of the EU’s energy mix.
Solar cells and panels, or modules, are central to Europe’s commitment to using renewable energy to meet up to a third of its energy needs by 2030. But while the energy will be home produced, almost none of the necessary hardware is made in Europe. Most mass-produced cells and modules are from China, Taiwan and Malaysia, according to an EU report.
An EU-funded project has developed a European version of high-efficiency, next-generation solar technology and a low-cost manufacturing process. The innovative solar cells could boost a switch to solar energy and recharge European solar-panel production.
Europe is now closer to having its own version of this technology. The EU-funded NEXTBASE project has developed highly efficient IBC solar cells in the silicon heterojunction configuration (IBC-SHJ). The NEXTBASE cells can convert 25.4 % of the solar energy they capture into power.
Alongside the plan, the Commission also presented a set of initiatives on permitting processes for renewable energy projects, which are reflected in the revised Renewable Energy Directive (EU/2023/2413). These new legal provisions will contribute to accelerating solar energy deployment in the EU. The EU solar energy strategy launched 3 initiatives
An EU-funded project has developed next-generation #solar cells with 25.4 % efficiency and low-cost production, for faster uptake of clean energy and critical technology for solar-cell production in Europe.
