Delighted to share the news of the award of the European Union (EU) project “High-efficiency high-power laser beaming in-space systems base don SiC (RePowerSiC)”, within the “EIC Pathfinder Challenge: In-space solar energy harvesting for innovative space applications”! 👏
RePowerSiC aims to develop a high-efficiency laser converter for intensities around 1 kW/cm2, which will be a breakthrough in HPLT (High Power Laser Transmission). This project aims not only to revolutionise space exploration, but also to extend its applications to different sectors of the Earth. 🛰🌍
Advances in Photovoltaic Technology (AdPVTech) (Universidad de Jaén, Spain) participates in this project collaborating with partners from 6 EU countries such as Danmarks Tekniske universitet in Denmark, Friedrich-alexander-universitaet Erlangen-Nürnberg in Germany, Moverim Consulting SRL in Belgium, Alminica AB in Sweden and SenSiC in Switzerland. With the Universidade de Santiago de Compostela in Spain as project coordinator.
This project has a funding of more than 4.5 million euros, a duration of 4 years and a start date of 01/10/2024.
A big challenge ahead! 💪
