Saturnia
To address the challenge of combining high efficiencies on a cell level with high energy yields on a system level, the Saturnia consortium aims to integrate the best available technological building blocks for bifacial solar cells and modules into a novel device. This project will deliver two Proof of Concept devices: a bifacial IBC solar cell based on transparent polySiOx passivating contacts and a bifacial module with the Saturnia solar cells based on a new interconnection concept using electrical conductors embedded in a transparent layer on the rear glass.
Partners: The SATURNIA project is part of a TNO-led consortium and is being implemented in partnership between Levitech B.V., Morphotonics B.V., TU Delft, Tempress Systems B.V. and TU Eindhoven.
