IESUPM has been researching in PV since its foundation in 1979. IESUPM will bring to the project its knowledge in the development of silicon-based PV and the manufacturing of solar cells,  contributing to the characterization of wafers and devices, with special emphasis on the implementation of defect engineering schemes to improve material quality.

Kalyon PV is an integrated factory combining, since 2020, ingot, wafer, cell, and module lines, and also R&D department under the same roof, for the production of crystalline silicon solar modules with a capacity which was recently increased from 1.2 GW to 2 GW. They will produce silicon substrates optimizing their properties for their use in silicon bottom cells.

SALD B.V. is a SME based in Eindhoven the Netherlands, that builds and develops equipment for spatial atomic layer deposition (sALD) processes. SALD will contribute to the project with its expertise on atomic layer deposition of buffer layers (the layers protecting the top of the perovskite cell against damage from a sputtered top electrode) and the interfacial recombination junction.

TNO has a long track record in the development and industrialization of high-efficiency silicon cell and module technology, and a leading position in development and scaling up of semi-transparent perovskite cells and modules. In this project, together with SALD, TNO will add the perovskite cell stack on the silicon bottom cell half-fabricates and finalize the tandem cell. TNO will also produce mini-modules from these cells.
