4 FAQs about Slovenia non-standard solar panel cells

Are solar panels made in Europe?

Solar cells and panels, or modules, are central to Europe's commitment to using renewable energy to meet up to a third of its energy needs by 2030. But while the energy will be home produced, almost none of the necessary hardware is made in Europe. Most mass-produced cells and modules are from China, Taiwan and Malaysia, according to an EU report.

Will Europe have its own IBC solar technology?

Europe is now closer to having its own version of this technology. The EU-funded NEXTBASE project has developed highly efficient IBC solar cells in the silicon heterojunction configuration (IBC-SHJ). The NEXTBASE cells can convert 25.4 % of the solar energy they capture into power.

Where are solar cells made?

Most mass-produced cells and modules are from China, Taiwan and Malaysia, according to an EU report. The most efficient crystalline silicon solar-cell technology concepts on the market – interdigitated back-contacted (IBC) type solar cells – are produced by a small number of American and Asian firms.

Could innovative solar cells boost a switch to solar energy?

The innovative solar cells could boost a switch to solar energy and recharge European solar-panel production. Solar cells and panels, or modules, are central to Europe's commitment to using renewable energy to meet up to a third of its energy needs by 2030.
