RISC: Zero-defect production for the energy transition

Photovoltaics (PV) is a vital factor in achieving the energy transition but its potential is still a long way from being sufficiently exploited. Research plays a central role in addressing this deficiency, as shown by the EU project “Platform-ZERO” that was launched recently. 12 European partners, RISC Software among them, are collaborating to cut the costs of manufacturing PV systems and make their production more efficient. RISC Software is in charge of one work package to which it contributes its expertise in the fields of data engineering and AI analysis.
