Objective
Industrial Objectives: The principle technological objective of this project is to develop a new more efficient and easy to install grid connected PVmodule with subdivided solar cells, cell integrated micro inverters and backlight module to increase the efficiency of PV modules by 8-10%. This project will target the fast growing market for grid connected PV systems. The competitiveness of the EU PV industry is a major issue in this rapidly increasing market, as the European PV industry is currently lagging behind the US and Japan, which exports PV components to the EU.
Also competition will become increasingly intense, as new players from low labor cost countries such as China and Taiwan are now entering the market PV systems. The proposed project will increase the competitiveness of the 6,000 SMEs in the European PV sector by providing them with a technology that will significantly improve the efficiency and cost effectiveness of PV modules.
