Project description

In dit project wordt getracht de energie-opbrengst van zonnepanelen te verhogen, niet door het rendement van de zonnecellen zelf te verbeteren, maar wel door intelligentie en extra functionaliteit in te bouwen in de PV modules. Dit betreft ondermeer intelligente bypass chips, dynamische reconfiguratie op basis van de belichtingstoestand, en zeer zuinige hoge-snelheidsconvertoren op basis van Gallium-Nitride (GaN).
