2BG and Rise Technology, the company founded by researchers of the La Sapienza University in Rome, have agreed to a collaborative move on the development of solar cell technologies. The partners will research the production of crystalline silicon cells less than 100μm thick.

“This partnership with Rise Technology S.r.l. for 2BG S.r.l. has a strategic importance in the company roadmap, because it will enable us to develop new systems in the production of crystalline solar cells, in order to increase the efficiency by combining a significant reduction in the cell, as last purpose, to reach the grid parity in the shortest time,” commented Dario Bernardi, chairman of 2BG.
