The global photovoltaic market is expected to grow tenfold by 2035. Researchers at Forschungszentrum Jülich have developed Solar TAP, a platform designed to accelerate solar technologies, which breaks down barriers to Technology Transfer and shortens the path to the commercialisation of new photovoltaic solutions.
By 2035, the photovoltaic market is expected to reach a volume of around 4 terawatts peak per year, and by 2050, around 80 terawatts of installed capacity could be achieved worldwide. This also increases the need to transfer new technologies more quickly from research into Industrial Processes and marketable products.
Researchers at Forschungszentrum Jülich have developed Solar TAP as a transfer platform for this purpose. The aim is to reduce obstacles in Technology Transfer and to translate Innovations into marketable solutions more rapidly.
Solar TAP connects excellent Helmholtz research with industry and accelerates the transfer of printed, flexible Photovoltaics from the laboratory to market readiness. This opens up new applications for the energy transition – from building envelopes and agricultural land to mobile systems. At the same time, industry partners gain rapid, low-risk access to state-of-the-art research infrastructure and reliable data for product development.
