PEPPERONI_EU

PEPPERONI is a four-year Research and Innovation project co-funded by the European Union under Horizon Europe and supported by the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation that started on 1 November 2022. PEPPERONI will advance the perovskite/silicon tandem photovoltaics (PV) technology towards market introduction and mass manufacturing. The project, coordinated by Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (DE) and Qcells (DE) will identify and address the barriers to tandem solar technology’s market introduction, and ultimately lay the foundations for fast implementation of new production capacity in Europe as a cost-effective and resource-efficient solution to decarbonise the energy system. The PEPPERONI consortium counts 17 partners from 12 European countries and it combines knowledge and expertise from fundamental research to small-scale testing and development of solar cells all the way to high-throughput industrial manufacturing of large solar modules. Funded by the European Union and supported by the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI).
