Development of advanced manufacturing equipment and processes aimed at the seamless integration of multifunctional PV solutions, enabling the deployment of IPV sectors

Descrizione del progetto

Un nuovo processo di produzione per il fotovoltaico integrato

Il fotovoltaico integrato (IPV, Integrated PhotoVoltaics) ha dimostrato il suo successo e il suo impatto nell’impiego come sistema incorporato negli edifici. È considerato promettente anche in diversi altri settori,e il suo adattamento ad altri ambiti o dispositivi potrebbe offrire vantaggi sorprendenti. Purtroppo, è proprio la necessità di soluzioni IPV adattabili a ostacolarne l’espansione, poiché gli attuali processi produttivi non sono in grado di creare soluzioni IPV personalizzate per ogni settore. Il progetto SEAMLESS-PV, finanziato dall’UE, si propone di affrontare questo problema sviluppando strumenti rivoluzionari per la produzione fotovoltaica e nuovi prodotti IPV che offrano maggiore efficienza, adattabilità e integrabilità, dimostrando al contempo la loro economicità rispetto alla concorrenza.

Obiettivo

Beyond building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), slowly but steadily gaining adoption and settling as a more mature, recognized and reliable technology, the increasing interest of IPV solutions has recently started to expand towards other market segments. A curious gaze at our nearest environment allows identifying endless opportunities in which the implementation of IPV solutions could be addressed, bringing synergies, innovation and added value to important market segments such as infrastructures, transport, agriculture, urban environment, low-power electronic devices, etc. This idyllic approach brings, nevertheless, important challenges in the manufacturing, product development and effective integration of these multifunctional PV devices over final applications due to the fundamentally different specifications coming from each sector, which hinders the offer of a ‘one-fits-all’ technological approach. In addition, customization and flexibility in design is still constrained by existing manufacturing capacity and sophistication degree, which is, as of today, very much oriented towards more standardized manufacturing processes based on traditional PV equipment and processes.

In this context, SEAMLESS-PV is conceived to answer this challenge by addressing (1) the development of advanced flexible automated PV equipment manufacturing based on high efficiency c-Si technologies, (2) the upscale of new manufacturing processes presenting key features (e.g. lightness, enhanced integrability) and cost reductions that enable the seamless integration of PV over final applications and (3) the development of a set of IPV products demonstrating cost-competitiveness and compliance with market requirements and expectations. The project will demonstrate this new manufacturing capacity at pilot level and showcase the opportunity for European IPV manufacturers and end-users to unleash the potential of this sector.
