Objective
SE-POWERFOIL aims at the development of roll-to-roll manufacturing technology for production of high-efficiency flexible photovoltaic (PV) modules. These modules allow for easy integration and installation leading to low-cost PV systems with kWh costs down to 0.10Euro/kWh or less. This is essential to create mature, subsidy-independent markets for solar electricity, cost competitive with conventional electricity sources. The target is to develop stable 12% efficient, PV modules, with more than 20 years out door lifetime and manufacturing costs below 0.5 Euro/Wp.
Flexible PV laminates will allow versatile use in growth markets with billion Euro sized economic potential:
1. Large power markets in which the PV laminates greatly will contribute to European objectives to establish a future sustainable, independent electricity supply system and to strengthen Europe's industry and export position
2. Mass markets where flexible solar cell laminates provide cost efficient, light weight, portable power, including e.g. personal electronics, ICT, security, leisure, medical, military and affordable power for electrification in rural and remote regions.
The workplan focuses on the following key issues:
a) use of low-cost base materials and minimal materials consumption for devices;
b) improvement of the efficiency;
c) strong reduction of the production costs and
d) accelerated lifetime testing (acc. IEC 61646) and outdoor monitoring
The objectives match the priority targets of PTA 6.1.3.2.6. (CALL 2006.ML). The consortium (8 participants, representing 5 EU Member States) comprises a leading developer/manufacturer of flexible PV foils and modules, a company specialized in chemical vapour deposition technology, an innovation management specialist (two of the three companies are SMEs), two research institutes and three universities each with their specific expertise in thin film silicon photovoltaic research and process technology.
