Hans Goverde
Hans Goverde received his MSc degree in applied physics from the Eindhoven university of technology, the Netherlands, in 2012. The title of his master thesis project was ‘Characterization and optimization of Aluminum Oxide films as p-type Czochralski silicon passivation layer’. In 2016, he obtained his PhD degree (title: increasing and understanding energy yield of c-Si photovoltaic modules) from the KU Leuven in collaboration with the imec photovoltaics group. Currently, he is working as a researcher for the same group at imec.

A forecaster for solar panels
Together with its EnergyVille partners, imec has developed a simulation model designed to make the energy network more stable. It also makes the sale of energy more profitable and the work of PV researchers easier in general. Hans Goverde, a PV module technology researcher at imec and EnergyVille, tells us how this can be done. And also how, as a result, solar power is now no longer an ‘unpredictable’ source of energy.
