Objective
The project aims at taking solar cell processes and materials successfully developed within previous RTD projects to manufacturing level. In particular the project will address low cost options for the well known laser grooved solar cell which include screen printing and laser local rear contacts, and will also address manufacturing issues related to the use of n-type multi-crystalline silicon, which has demonstrated excellent quality at lab level.
The two project lines are kept separate for faster achievement of scale up, which is an overall goal of the project, but in principle optimised cell processing can be applied to any kind of substrate, and thus to n-type, for instance. The project will verify such option as well. The objectives of the project are to fully test and specify process sequences which can be scaled to volumes compatible with the present growth rate of the PV market already at the end of the project.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
