Making photovoltaic cells more efficient and cheaper

Researchers develop novel technology for harvesting solar energy
Neuchâtel, 25 February 2016 – Three Swiss organizations and their nine international partners have launched a European research project that aims to develop novel types of photovoltaic cell. The cells will use so-called perovskite PV technology, which has the potential to be both low-cost and extremely efficient. The project, entitled CHEOPS, is coordinated by CSEM and has a budget of 5 million euros.
