Photovoltaics

Thanks to Czech scientists, ecological production of photovoltaic systems in Europe is within striking distance

Thanks to the PILATUS project, there will be three pilot lines built in Europe by 2025, covering the entire production cycle of innovative silicon solar panels. Special technologies with contacts on the bottom side will allow solar cells to convert energy with efficiency higher than 26%. In the production of this photovoltaic "Ferrari", the experts also want to minimize its CO2 footprint. In the project, a team from the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences under the leadership of Martin Ledinský will be involved as well.

Naprostá většina fotovoltaických systémů, které v Evropě vidíme, je z křemíku.
