By integrating research and manufacturing, we create new opportunities for PV startups, scale-ups and regional development agencies. Together, we're advancing the solar energy sector and ensuring sustainable growth. [More about SolarNL](https://www.solarnl.eu/ecosystem-and-program/about-solarnl) ## **National program** At SolarNL, we drive our mission through targeted program lines that aim to establish a robust solar PV manufacturing industry in the Netherlands. These distinct initiatives focus on three innovative technologies: high-efficiency silicon heterojunction (HJT) cells, flexible perovskite solar technology, and integrated solar PV solutions. Each program line is designed to harness the Netherlands’ existing expertise while avoiding direct competition with standard modules from Asia. Together, these initiatives are strategically aligned to address industry challenges, create economic opportunities, and advance our solar energy climate goals. [Explore the program](https://www.solarnl.eu/ecosystem-and-program/national-program) ## **General overview and documents** The National Growth Fund awarded SolarNL with a €320 million investment for the further development of solar PV technology on January 1st, 2024. The SolarNL program was written with contributions from the 11 participating organisations. Find useful links and official documents here.
