Solar modules and mass customization
In 2022, global installed Solar PV capacity will reach more than 1 TW, with the ability to supply almost 5% of world electricity demand. This marks a historic milestone for research, development, and deployment of solar PV.

Circular solar modules and mass customization
Thanks to, among other things, mass customisation, silicon solar modules and circular design, the combined output of solar panels continues to increase.

TNO's view of 2030: using every surface for solar power generation
If we want to generate green energy on a large scale, we'll have to be smart in using the scarce space available in the Netherlands. Within 10 years, we'll make it possible to use any surface to generate sustainable energy. Curious how?


Brabant at the forefront of new solar energy developments with strategic investment
The signing of an agreement between the Province of North Brabant, the Brabant Development Company, and TNO, partner in Solliance, heralds a new phase for the application of solar energy.
