About Hydrogen Solar
The Tandem Cell concept was co-invented by the Swiss Federal University of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) and the University of Geneva (UoG), and was made possible thanks to R&D support by the Swiss Federal Office of Energy over a considerable period of time.

The Tandem Cell is currently the prime technology of Hydrogen Solar. The company also own rights to biological processes for generating hydrogen.
