Collaborating Smart Solar-powered Micro-grids (CoSSMic)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2016,
When considering renewable energy sources, like solar electricity, people often do not directly see the benefit of their investment. While the sun is shining and might be producing electricity in their homes, they are at their work and cannot use that energy directly, while when they need the energy at night (for laundry, lighting, computers) the solar panel is no longer producing. Indeed, researc ...

HIGH EFFICIENCY REAR CONTACT SOLAR CELLS AND ULTRA POWERFUL MODULES (HERCULES)
Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2016,
"The European photovoltaics PV market still represents the predominant share of worldwide installations and electricity generated from PV is becoming increasingly competitive, with an average levelized cost of energy (LCOE) estimated to be between 0.10–0.16 €/kWh in 2011 . This constant reduction of LCOE means that the European industry can only regain its competitiveness with (i) a concomitant re ...

Improve Photovoltaic efficiency by applying novel effects at the limits of light to matter interaction (LIMA)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,
The LIMA project exploits cutting edge photonic technologies to enhance silicon solar cell efficiencies with new concepts in nanostructured materials. It proposes nano-structured surface layers designed to increase light absorption in the solar cell while decreasing surface and interface recombination loss. Integration in a back contact design further reduces these interface losses and avoids s ...
