Towards 20 percent mc-Si industrial solar cell efficiency

Description: Das Projekt "Towards 20 percent mc-Si industrial solar cell efficiency" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Universität Konstanz, Lehrstuhl für Angewandte Festkörperphysik durchgeführt. TOPSICLE is an R und D project to develop a low-cost industrial process for super high-efficiency multicrystalline silicon (mc-Si) cells and modules. This project will result in an efficiency of 20 percent for a 4cm2mc-Si cell, 19 percent for a 156 cm2 mc-Si cell and 18 percent for a full size 36 cell module. The peak power of that module will be 101 Wat.a road map will be made to realise cost effective 20 percent mc-Si PV modules on an industrial scale. To reach these goals the consortium will develop processes for: 1) manufacturing high-quaity cast ingots; 2) slicing high-quality thin mc-Si wafers; 3) manufacturing super high-efficiency mc-Si solar cells and; 4) fabricating PV modules with novel designs and using advanced techniques. TOPSICLE will strongly contribute to the White Paper targets (3GWp installed in2010, kleiner 2.5/Wp, 3Mtn/yr CO 2 reduction) and will increase Europe's competitive position considerably. The results of TOPSICLE will reduce the energy-pay-back time of themc-Si based PV systems to 2-3 years.
