Exciting news! No website or similar yet, but here are some news snippets.
This project involves six universities and 50 companies and organisations, and has a budget of 110 MSEK over five years.

Several research themes:

  • advanced technology
  • building integration
  • enhanced PV systems
  • land sharing
  • planning for large-scale expansion
  • and others

Theme 1: advanced technology
Solar cell devices with higher power, lower resource consumption.
For example, perovskite solar cells and tandem cells.
