Italian energy provider Enel Green Power SpA (EGP) has signed an agreement with the Institute for Microelectronics and Microsystems (IMM) of the National Research Council (NRC) to create a dedicated laboratory to explore renewable energy technologies within the Enel Innovation Lab at Passo Martino. near Catania. Italy.
According to the company. the lab’s activities will mainly focus on the development of solar cells and innovative. very-high-efficiency photovoltaic systems. with a special focus on reliability and cost.
In particular. the EGP innovation group will work with NRC-IMM to develop technologies for next-generation (double-sided) photovoltaic modules with high electricity yields that can collect and transform into power not only direct sunlight but also solar radiation reflected from the ground. In order to increase the efficiency of power generation. advanced structures for silicon solar cells will be studied and developed. coupling new materials. says EGP.
Enel has launched an investment programme worth more than €100 million at its Sicilian technology hub. consisting of the 3Sun photovoltaic factory at Passo Martino and the associated Innovation Lab. where EGP’s researchers are investigating renewable energy technologies. The installation of the new laboratory is intended to develop the site as an Innovation Campus and promote the growth of start-ups in the renewable energy sector.
