Endeas is actively participating in three cutting-edge Horizon Europe research and development projects focused on advancing future photovoltaics.
DICE Project
Our flagship R&D initiative, DICE (Design and Development of Industry-Compatible Characterisation Equipment for Emerging Perovskite and Perovskite/Silicon Tandem Solar Cells), is led by Endeas. In collaboration with esteemed partners such as Fluxim AG, Zürich University of Applied Sciences, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Tampere University, and Åbo Akademi University, we are developing industrial characterization methods for the next generation of perovskite and perovskite/silicon solar cells. These advancements are poised to revolutionize the PV industry by achieving higher solar cell efficiencies.
The project tackles the challenge of understanding and modelling ion migration in perovskite solar cells, which causes slow dynamic responses and limits rapid industrial assessment. To address this, we are creating new protocols and characterization equipment compatible with the fast-paced demands of industrial production lines.
Eurostars is part of the European Partnership on Innovative SMEs. The partnership is co-funded by the European Union through Horizon Europe.

SPOT-IT Project
Endeas is also a proud participant in the SPOT-IT (Stable Printed Perovskite/Organic Tandem Solar Cells and Modules for Indoor & IoT) project under the EU Clean Energy Transition Partnership. As the partner responsible for developing flash IV characterization protocols for the indoor PV industry, we are contributing to the creation of an indoor tandem solar cell. This cell features a perovskite-inspired top cell and an organic bottom cell, optimized for white LED indoor lighting and manufactured with environmental sustainability in mind.
Our partners in this project include the University of Rome – Tor Vergata, University of Turin, University of Southern Denmark, Infinity PV, Tampere University, UPC Print, and the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology.

MENTOR Project
In the MSCA Doctoral Network MENTOR, Endeas is offering two 3-month secondments for PhD students. This project focuses on next-generation indoor photovoltaics (IPVs) that efficiently reuse energy from artificial illumination to power electronics. The secondments will cover topics such as indoor PV characterization of lead-free Bi-based solar cells in an industrial environment and the development of an IoT prototype powered by an indoor solar cell produced within the consortium.
