How can your printer power itself?
Make the connection with EU science.
Solar power is essential to Europe's climate goals.
But today, most solar panels are imported
and their performance is reaching the limit of silicon technology.
The EU-funded DIAMOND project
advanced the next generation of solar cells
Layering carbon electrodes, perovskite crystals, and protective layers
they printed durable, thin film solar panels
that perform as well as silicon with a smaller carbon footprint,
Made from abundant materials,
they can produced locally across Europe,
to power a new generation of clean, reliable green energy.
