Turn technical progress
into industrial value.
BERBETIN helps technology teams, manufacturers, developers and investors shape industrialisation pathways and build the evidence for their next scale-up decision.
Independent technology strategy, industrialisation, technical due diligence and capability building. Grounded in 20+ years across research, manufacturing and deployment.
Led by Dr. Verónica Bermúdez Benito, BERBETIN connects materials and device science with manufacturing, field performance and industrial strategy. Her experience includes research and technology leadership at the organisations shown below.
Across the whole solar value chain
A materials choice affects process yield. A module design changes system integration. Field conditions shape reliability. BERBETIN connects these dependencies when defining a credible path to scale.
1
Materials & devices: CIGS, perovskites and tandem architectures
2
Cells & modules: device performance, interconnection and cell-to-module transfer
3
Manufacturing: process robustness, yield and lab-to-fab transfer
4
Deployment & systems: system integration, BOS, hybrid power
5
Reliability & degradation: soiling, degradation, field performance, bankability
Where solar goes next
BIPV
AgriPV
Space PV
Storage & H2
What decision are you facing?
Investors & funds
What evidence supports your next investment?
Manufacturers
Can your process deliver consistently at scale?
Developers
Will it perform under real operating conditions?
Technology teams
What must your pilot prove before you scale?
What needs to be demonstrated before the next scale-up step?
BERBETIN’s Scale Readiness Level (SRL) approach connects technical maturity with manufacturing, integration, reliability and market requirements. It identifies the evidence gaps that matter for a particular technology, application and decision.
Used alongside TRL, it guides validation priorities and industrialisation pathways. Readiness for investment or deployment depends on the project, counterparties and operating conditions.
Experience that connects science and industry
Dr. Verónica Bermúdez Benito brings a physicist’s understanding of technology and experience leading research and industrial technology teams. Selected experience from previous roles:
Solar Frontier, Japan — lab-to-fab transfer. As Acting General Manager of the Technology Division, she connected thin-film PV development with pilot and factory processes, quality and reliability.
QEERI, Qatar — research for operating conditions. She built and directed the Energy Center, connecting applied energy research with harsh-environment PV reliability and system performance.
NEXCIS and EDF R&D, France — technology development and industrial assessment. A founding team member at the start up NEXCIS, she worked on CIGS scaling from lab to pilot. At EDF R&D, her work included technical due diligence and techno-economic assessment.
Through BERBETIN, she now supports technology teams, manufacturers, developers and investors. She also serves as an expert evaluator for Horizon Europe, the Innovation Fund and the EIC.
