Industrially reliable perovskite solar, made in Europe
TRANSPIRE develops and scales bifacial perovskite and perovskite/silicon tandem modules, moving next-generation solar from the laboratory (TRL-4) to pilot-line readiness (TRL-6/7) and a European spin-off.
Over 36 months, an imec-led technical team will prove the performance, reliability and manufacturability that Europe needs to build its own next-generation solar industry.
