Competitiveness, resilience, circularity
Why Noak?
Noak turns next-generation solar PV into industrial reality for a global terawatt-scale market. We deliver high performance, reliability and circularity across the full lifecycle, enabling greater competitiveness and stronger regional resilience and strategic autonomy. By rethinking solar technology from the ground up, Noak combines technological progress with a compelling industrial and economic case.
Learn about Noak Technology
Noak is working to make the next generation of solar practical at scale. We do that by rethinking the whole stack, from materials and cell architecture to interconnections, modules and manufacturing, as one integrated system. That means more power from the same surface, technology built to last, and smarter use of materials from production to end of life.
Integrated design
Noak develops materials, cells, interconnections, modules and manufacturing together as one integrated system
Higher performance
Perovskite-silicon tandem technology can reach 30–35% efficiency by capturing more of the solar spectrum than conventional silicon alone.
Proven reliability
NOAK's technology builds on five years of outdoor testing across 11 sites on three continents, alongside industry-standard reliability testing.

Higher efficiency changes more than module performance. It can mean more energy from the same space, less infrastructure and lower demand for critical materials.
Higher-efficiency tandem PV can produce substantially more electricity without requiring additional roof space.
Higher-efficiency modules can reduce the land and supporting infrastructure needed for the same output.
Noak’s module architecture is designed to drastically reduce dependence on silver and other critical materials.
The impact we want to make About
Noak is where scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs with very different backgrounds come together around a shared goal: solar that performs better, depends less on vulnerable supply chains and makes smarter use of materials. Between us, we have around a century of expertise spanning materials, cell design, manufacturing and business.
Experience across the solar value chain
We are an eclectic mix of scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs, combining the skills, thinking and vision needed to make a difference in a crowded market.
Rooted in imec and UHasselt
Noak is a spin-off of imec and UHasselt, building on world-class research, infrastructure and deep expertise in photovoltaics, semiconductors and materials science.
