SiliconPV Conference from April 11-13, 2023
The conference covers a variety of exciting topics around crystalline silicon for photovoltaic application, which is still the leading technology for solar electricity generation!
Join the SiliconPV week either online or on-site and keep up to date on all aspects on crystalline silicon PV including hybrid tandems with silicon bottom cells, simulations/characterization, p-type and n-type solar cells bankability and a lot more!

'PV is the technology to hasten the energy transition and it can be done big, already now, and in the future with much better technologies. Compared to the current commercial PV technologies conversion efficiencies can be doubled by applying multijunction PV, prices can be reduced by another factor two to three, PV can be fully integrated in every surface, and its environmental impact can be minimized. I am looking forward to hearing the latest results on novel technologies.'
nPV Workshop from April 13-14, 2023
Taking place directly after the SiliconPV conference with one overlapping day, the workshop provides a complete overview of all trends, innovations and developments of n-type technology. The nPV Workshop is hosted by the Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands.

New North Sea monitoring station for offshore wind farm expansion
The substantial expansion of offshore wind capacity from 4.5 gigawatts in 2023 to as much as 21 GW in 2030 requires action on many fronts. One way in which TNO is contributing to this is by accurately mapping wind speeds over the North Sea.


Towards new methods for designing wind turbines
TNO, together with Delft-based company Whiffle, has developed a new research method for designing wind turbines that significantly reduces the gap between simulation and reality.


Favourable business case for solar heat in homes
Solar heat can make an important contribution to increasing the sustainability of our heat supply. Photovoltaic-thermic (PVT) systems on the roof can, in combination with a heat pump, supply homes with heat and hot water. This would make natural gas redundant, thereby decreasing carbon emissions. There are plenty of options, but what about the cost-benefit analysis?
