Solar TAP Project
Contribution to Solar TAP:
In Solar TAP we develop Greenhouse PV systems optimized for efficient crop growth, together with our industrial partners. The idea is to integrate flexible, light weight and semi-transparent PV modules in greenhouse systems like foil tunnels where our technology can gain multi benefit for plant growth.
Uniqueness of Solar TAP:
Solar TAP brings together different people from science and industry with multiple technical backgrounds, such that novel product ideas can be developed, on the one hand. On the other hand, in our consortium the whole value chain of such products is covered, such that industry transfer can happen fast and at the right place.
