Cost-reduction through material optimisation and Higher EnErgy outpuT of solAr pHotovoltaic modules - joining Europe’s Research and Development efforts in support of its PV industry (CHEETAH)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

Europe has invoked the SET-Plan to design and implement an energy technology policy for Europe to accelerate the development and deployment of cost-effective renewable energy systems, including photovoltaics. With lower cost of solar electricity, PV could significantly contribute to the achievements of the 20-20-20 objectives.The Joint Program on PV of the European Energy Research Alliance (EERA-P ...

Next Zero Energy Buildings at lowest Cost by using Competitive Sustainable Technology (NEXT-BUILDINGS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

This project is about the demonstration of very low energy buildings. In all demonstrations, the ambition is net zero carbon/energy or better (active or plus-energy house). The project paves the way for large scale implementation of energy neutral buildings/neighbourhoods as foreseen in the Energy Performance of Buildings directive and the pilots are running more than five years ahead of the goal ...

Process Line Implementation for Applied Surface Nanotechnologies (PLIANT)

Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2017,

In this proposed integrating project we will develop innovative in-line high throughput manufacturing technologies which are all based on atmospheric pressure (AP) vapour phase surface and on AP plasma processing technologies. Both approaches have significant potential for the precise synthesis of nano-structures with tailored properties, but their effective simultaneous combination is particularl ...

Accelerated development and prototyping of nano-technology-based high-efficiency thin-film silicon solar modules (Fast Track)

Start date: Mar 1, 2012, End date: Feb 28, 2015,

In recent years, the effort in thin-film silicon (TFSi) was made at solving industrialization issues. In 2010, several companies demonstrated 10% stable modules (> 1 m²). The major “bricks” for efficient production are now in place. Next challenges are linked to the fact that TFSi multi-junction devices, allowing for higher efficiency, are complex devices, in which the substrate geometry and each ...

20 percent efficiency on less than 100 µm thick industrially feasible c-Si solar cells (20PLµS)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

The overall objective of the current project is a significant contribution to the dissemination of PV in order to improve the sustainability of the European energy supply and to strengthen the situation of the European PV industry.The approach to reach this overall objective is the development of solar cells which are substantially thinner than today’s common practice. We will reduce the current s ...

FLEXIBLE PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGIES AND EQUIPMENT BASED ON ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE PLASMA PROCESSING FOR 3D NANO STRUCTURED SURFACES (N2P)

Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

Outstanding progress has been made in recent years in developing novel structures and applications for direct fabrication of 3D nanosurfaces. However, exploitation is limited by lack of suitable manufacturing technologies. In this project we will develop innovative in-line high throughput technologies based on atmospheric pressure surface and plasma technologies. The two identified approaches to d ...

Heterojunction Solar Cells based on a-Si c-Si (HETSI)

Start date: Feb 1, 2008, End date: Jan 31, 2011,

"The Photovoltaic (PV) industry needs to find new approaches to make solar cells competitive. Crystalline silicon (c-Si) wafer-based technology has a real potential to achieve significant cost reduction if the R&D effort is made on the most critical issues. These issues are the reduction of silicon material consumption, the increase of solar cell efficiency and an improved integration into modules ...
