Super high efficiency Cu(In,Ga)Se2 thin-film solar cells approaching 25% (Sharc25)
Start date: May 1, 2015, End date: Oct 31, 2018,
Prime objective of the Sharc25 project is to develop super-high efficiency Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) solar cells for next generation of cost-beneficial solar module technology with the world leading expertise establishing the new benchmarks of global excellence. The project partners ZSW and EMPA hold the current CIGS solar cell efficiency world records of 21.7% on glass and 20.4% on polymer film, achie ...

Roll-to-roll manufacturing of high efficiency and low cost flexible CIGS solar modules (R2R-CIGS)
Start date: Apr 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2015,
"CIGS solar module technology on rigid glass substrate is already mature and industrial companies are producing hundreds of MWp each year. Bringing flexible CIGS solar modules to industrial maturity will yield the next breakthrough for further cost reduction by taking into account the inherent advantages of thin film technology, e.g. high throughput and large scale coating with less energy and mat ...

Non-vacuum processes for deposition of CI(G)S active layer in PV cells (NOVA-CI(G)S)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2013,
Current production methods for thin film photovoltaics typically rely on costly, difficult to control (over large surfaces) vacuum-based deposition processes that are known for low material utilisation of 30-50%. NOVA-CI(G)S proposes alternative, non-vacuum ink-based simple and safe deposition processes for thin film CI(G)S photovoltaic cells. The low capital intensive, high throughput, high mater ...

New concepts for high efficiency and low cost in-line manufactured flexible CIGS solar cells (hipoCIGS)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,
The Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) on glass technology is already heading towards industrial maturity, but to meet the production cost target of below 0.6 €/Wp in mid-term and below 0.4 €/Wp in long-term, development of highly efficient flexible modules is an attractive option. The ultimate advantage of thin-film technology is the possibility of monolithically connected flexible modules produced with high sp ...
