Compared to North Macedonia, Belgium is not known for sunshine. This also makes photovoltaic less attractive. But if the systems would be cheaper and more efficient, this could change, and the Genk-based lab EnergyVille does just goes this way.
If the materials used would not be rare, panels would become cheaper. Perovskite is such a new type of crystal that is relatively cheap, and in combination with two solar cells, a 50 % higher power output can be achieved.
EnergyVille is currently the only research lab in Europe that can manufacture perovskite solar cells on a larger scale. In five years, the whole world could benefit from this solution.
