Four terminal perovskite-silicon PV tandem devices hit 30% efficiency
TNO, TU Eindhoven, imec and TU Delft – partners in Solliance – joined forces to further push the conversion efficiency of tandem solar cells to beyond the limits of today’s commercial photovoltaic (PV) modules. For the first time, four-terminal perovskite/silicon tandem devices with certified top cell pass the barrier of 30%. Such high efficiency enables more power per square meters and less cost per kWh.

TU Delft opens globally unique wind tunnel
Wind turbines are getting bigger and bigger and the wind speed is never the same on every part of the rotor – the rotating part of a wind turbine. That is why it is important to carry out experiments using non-uniform wind fields: fields in which the wind speed is not the same everywhere. With the opening of TU Delft’s Wind AI Lab – a globally unique wind tunnel – this will become possible.

Society needs more engineers: TU Delft initiates exploration of growth and multi-campus strategy
Engineers have a vital role to play in solving the major societal issues of this century. This means that the education of engineers is crucial for the welfare and prosperity of the Netherlands. The domestic demand for engineers is as high as ever. Here lies a great responsibility, which TU Delft is committed to taking. It requires a new strategic direction, a different way of thinking. Rather than looking at what we can handle, the focus should be on what is needed and how we can achieve that. This poses a huge undertaking that we certainly cannot meet by ourselves.
