The Photovoltaic Material and Devices (PVMD) group at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) has been granted funding by the European Commission Innovation and Networks Executive Agency (INEA) under the Horizon 2020 framework programme for the TRUST-PV project.

The move towards a near 100% renewable European power system requires an innovative electricity market design. The EU-funded TradeRES project will test a new market design in a simulation environment.

In de energietransitie gaat het over langdurige ontwikkelingen met forse investeringen. Er moeten nu keuzes gemaakt worden terwijl we nog niet alle oplossingen weten. De overheid heeft daar een belangrijke rol in te spelen”, zegt Prof Dr. Ir. Jan Dirk Jansen, decaan en hoogleraar Reservoir Systems and Control bij de TU Delft.

The installation of solar panels is one of the many ways to make the built environment more sustainable. However, the investment required to purchase and install the panels can prevent homeowners, businesses and governments from taking the risk. The efficiency of the solar panels depends on many factors, like the location and the angle in which they are installed. Therefore, researchers at TU Delft have now developed a calculation tool that can accurately calculate how long it takes to recoup the purchase of the panels.
