Advancing next-generation solar technologies step by step

The PERSEUS project is structured around a series of milestones that guide the development of next-generation photovoltaic technologies — from early-stage research to real-world deployment.

In the initial phase, the project focuses on enabling collaboration and accelerating innovation. A digital platform has been launched to support data sharing and analysis across partners, while early-stage research activities are advancing the development of solar materials with improved efficiency and cost performance.

As the project progresses, efforts shift toward scaling up solar technologies and improving key processes such as cell interconnection. These steps are essential to ensure that laboratory developments can be translated into durable, efficient, and reliable solar modules.

A strong emphasis is also placed on data collection and validation, supporting the optimisation of both large-scale and small-scale photovoltaic solutions. This includes assessing performance, efficiency, and cost aspects to guide further development.

In the final stages, PERSEUS moves towards real-world implementation, including the installation and testing of full-scale solar modules. These activities are complemented by final laboratory validation, contributing to the development of future industry standards.

Through this structured approach, PERSEUS is working to bridge the gap between research and application, supporting the deployment of scalable and sustainable solar energy solutions across Europe.
