Advanced solar technologies
A lot still needs to be done to make the most of the sun as a resource. Solar panel efficiency must continue to increase. And production and purchase costs must be reduced. To achieve this, we work with manufacturers on materials, technologies, and innovations. Examples are silicon PV, thin-film perovskite, and tandems.
Solar technology: opportunities and challenges
TNO is innovating in order to make solar energy affordable and available to all.
Our latest developments
Four terminal perovskite-silicon PV tandem devices hit 30% efficiency
TNO, TU Eindhoven, imec and TU Delft, partners in Solliance, joined forces to further push the conversion efficiency of tandem solar cells to beyond the limits of today’s commercial photovoltaic (PV) modules.
8th World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion
Join our TNO experts at the 8th World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion. The conference offers a unique opportunity to meet and exchange with experts from all PV sectors and all regions of the world.
Putting Europe back in the lead in solar panel production
Most solar panels come from China. Time to bring the solar panel production back to Europe. With smart solutions from TNO.
Solar energy
The Solar energy expertise group develops technology for solar panels, including bifacial solar modules and silicon solar cell technology.

Gianluca Coletti
Functie:Adjunct Professor – Program coordinatorWe are at a critical turning point of the energy transition. Despite the pandemic, the global PV module market is expected to reach over 180 GW in 2021 and this on top of the more than 100 GW of PV modules shipped for the previous 3 years. More importantly, the PV industry is maturing quickly with a learning rate – the price reduction for each doubling of cumulative PV module shipments - of over 39% since 2006.
