Workplan

LEEMONS is designed around 6 Work Packages that are closely interrelated to ensure the successful implementation of the project activities.

Implementation phases

Phase 1: Technology validation on Solar cells (Months 1–18)

Objective: Develop and validate the electron multiplication phenomenon as a viable solution to overcome thermalisation losses in silicon photovoltaics (Si-PVs)

Phase 2: Optimization & Industrial Feasibility (Months 18–36)

Objective: Refine the electron multiplication process and optimize integrated PV cell prototypes to achieve higher efficiency gains while ensuring scalability for mass production.
