Our research showcase

Within the framework of a new European H2020 project, nine research institutes and eight industrial partners across the whole value chain are collaborating on innovative solutions to produce silicon photovoltaic (PV) modules with higher performance, lower cost and better …

KU Leuven, imec and UHasselt, all partners within EnergyVille, are engaging in the DAPPER project, together with UGhent. With the support of Flux50, this project investigates building integrated solar systems, in order to predict, monitor and improve performance in the long …

The energy consumption in buildings is a huge challenge in realising the energy transition. The Interreg project Sunovate focuses on smart heat management in windows and solar panels, with a strong focus on the development of new materials that actively contribute to the …

Estimations suggest that an increased efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) appliances above the Shockley-Queisser single-junction limit is related to the creation of tandem devices. The EU-funded PERCISTAND project will focus on the development of innovative materials and …

The project aims to catalyse a lasting cross border collaboration between industry, research and other stakeholders. The goal is to technically enable local manufacturers and building and construction companies to realize cost effective integration of long lengths of solar …

In the context of the energy transition fund and on the recommendation of the Minister for Energy, Environment and Sustainable Development Marghem, the Minister Council has approved the EnergyVille project BREGILAB to maximize renewable energy in the future Belgian …

KU Leuven and imo-imomec, partners within EnergyVille, are engaging in the SYMBIOSYST project. It is a horizon Europe Innovation Action project to develop synergistic solutions for the integration of photovoltaics on agricultural land. Within the next four years …

The CSP+ project aims to combine 2 solar technologies to produce heat (CSP) and electricity (PV) using the same surface area to capture even more energy from the sun. Its ambition to develop more efficient solar technology is especially relevant in Flanders, a region with a …

A new EU project, TRUST-PV will support the development of O&M-friendly and grid-friendly solar PV components and solutions in large portfolios of distributed and utility scale PV. The TRUST-PV innovations will be tested and demonstrated from fab to field, with all data …

Electric vehicles (EVs) are on an exponential rise around the world. They have the potential to significantly reduce CO2 emissions – but only if charged using renewable energy in a grid-friendly way. While self-charging EVs using roof-mounted photovoltaics offer a unique …

In 2017, a worldwide capacity of 100 GWp of PV was installed, a value which is expected to increase in the years to come. This is more than a prediction but a requirement to meet the renewable energy targets set by policy makers, and decarbonise future electricity generation …

CUSTOM-ART will demonstrate that the new generation of kesterite-based solutions developed and tested during the project, will become the most robust and cost-effective thin-film technology in the EU for challenging and demanding architectural and urban furniture …
