# **Research & Innovation**

**SolarLab** is the national network of the Dutch research groups at universities and institutes that work on Solar Photovoltaics. The mission of SolarLab is:

- Demonstrate record-efficiency stable, sustainable solar cells
- Form a powerful ecosystem with a strong voice for PV research in NL and abroad
- Enhance PV collaboration in NL, share laboratories and coordinate funding streams

SolarLab is part of the national solar innovation program SolarNL. The SolarNL program capitalizes on the extensive knowledge that the Netherlands has to develop a new generation of solar cells and panels that will build a national solar industry and accelerates the energy transition.
