PEarl (ERANET)
Publieke samenvatting / Public summary
Aanleiding
Compared to PERC solar cells with an homogeneous emitter, those with selective emitter predict a significant increase in conversion efficiency of at least 0.5% absolute and, in consequence, would drastically increase the yield of PV systems, decrease the cost of ownership, and the levelized cost of electricity.
Doelstelling
The project focus is set on the exploitation of selective emitter's potential in passivated emitter and rear cell (PERC) silicon solar cells.
Korte omschrijving
Fraunhofer ISE, Sun Chemical, and Meyer Burger mix together their complementary competences in the fields of solar cell processing, machine engineering, and material synthesis in order to evaluate self-aligned process techniques based on the steadily advancing inkjet and plating technology, whereby low Ag consumption is aimed at. The techniques of interest will be applied, validated and demonstrated in the PV-TEC on pilot-line scale.
