PILATUS is a 3-year project aiming to demonstrate by 2025 three digitalised pilot lines for the production in Europe of silicon wafers, solar cells, and modules. PILATUS will leverage the patented and already proven back-contacted silicon heterojunction “tunnel-IBC” technology to ensure achieving its ambitious targets. PILATUS will prove a production capacity of 15 MW for M10 silicon wafers in Norway using polysilicon from Europe and demonstrate the feasibility of an expansion to 5 GW wafer production capacity. PILATUS’ PV module pilot line will reach a minimum of 170 MW of annual production capacity, accompanied by190 MW cell capacity that by itself adds 30% to the current total capacity for PV cell production in Europe. Combining inline metrology and outdoor monitoring with the support of Industry 4.0 concepts all along the production chain, the cells and modules fabricated on PILATUS’ pilot lines will be analysed and feedback provided to the manufacturing process to ensure reaching = 90 % yield at the end of the project. With the goal to establish PV modules with high durability, PILATUS aims to demonstrate the way towards > 40 years product lifetime by gaining fundamental insights into the degradation mechanisms and providing mitigation solutions thanks to the inline and outdoor metrology units that will be developed within the scope of the project. Further, PILATUS will achieve a reduced environmental footprint compared to current technologies by demonstrating modules fully made from recycled materials, eco-design practices to facilitate the dismantling of PV panels, and manufacturing plants compliant with environmental standards. In short, PILATUS will contribute to re-building a “made in Europe”, leading-edge, competitive PV industry with the entire value chain retained in Europe, compliant to the latest environmental standards, hence fostering the affordability, the security of supply, and the sustainability of the future EU low-carbon energy system.

PILLENT是一个为期3年的项目，旨在到2025年展示三条数字化试验线，用于在欧洲生产硅片，太阳能电池和组件。PILLENT将利用已获得专利且已被证明的背接触硅异质结“隧道-IBC”技术，以确保实现其雄心勃勃的目标。PILLENT将在挪威使用来自欧洲的多晶硅证明M10硅片的生产能力为15兆瓦，并证明扩大到5吉瓦硅片生产能力的可行性。PILLENT的光伏组件中试生产线将达到最低170兆瓦的年生产能力，同时190兆瓦的电池容量本身增加了30%，目前在欧洲的光伏电池生产总容量。将在线计量和户外监测与整个生产链中的工业4.0概念相结合，将对在PILLENT试验线上制造的电池和模块进行分析，并向制造过程提供反馈，以确保在项目结束时达到≥ 90%的产量。PILATUS的目标是建立具有高耐用性的光伏组件，旨在通过对退化机制的基本见解并通过将在项目范围内开发的在线和室外计量单元提供缓解解决方案，展示实现超过40年产品寿命的方法。此外，与现有技术相比，PILLENT将通过展示完全由回收材料制成的模块，促进光伏板拆卸的生态设计实践以及符合环境标准的制造工厂来减少环境足迹。简而言之，PILLENT将致力于重建一个“欧洲制造”的、领先的、有竞争力的光伏产业，整个价值链保留在欧洲，符合最新的环境标准，从而促进未来欧盟低碳能源系统的可负担性、供应安全性和可持续性。PILLENT项目网站
