To meet teraWatt photovoltaic (PV) capacity targets for 2050, solar modules will require:1. Low manufacturing costs and carbon footprint as well as short energy payback time2. To be incorporated into building-integrated systems3. To be based on low-cost abundant elements Current thin-film PV technologies based on copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS) and cadmium telluride (CdTe) have already demonstrated their potential to deliver on the first two requirements. These technologies are currently manufactured at the GW scale, with approximately 10% of the PV market worldwide. However, low abundance, high costs and high toxicity of key elements (In, Ga and Cd) present in active layers are set to severely limit the expansion of this technology in the next decades. Consequently, material substitution and the development of scalable (non-vacuum) processing technologies represent an extraordinary opportunity for the UK to grab an important share of the global photovoltaic market.The aim of PVTEAM is to lay the foundations of sustainable thin-film PV technology based on Earth abundant materials and scalable manufacturing processes. This will be achieved by developing processes and production technologies for materials and material systems to a level they can be taken up by manufacturing industries. This programme covers material specifications and performance, integration into cells and mini-modules as well as developing the technologies required for scale up. PVTEAM will specify a carefully selected range of binary, ternary and quaternary chalcogenides and oxides as substitutes to proven commercial materials. Using a multi-level screening approach, we will incorporate the best performing candidates into industrial processes based on "substrate" and "superstrate" configurations. The consortium involves five universities with state-of-the-art infrastructure for material development and characterisation as well as for device fabrication, testing and integration into PV modules. Material processing will be based on facilities available at the Sustainable Product Engineering Centre (SPECIFIC), which will be in charge of designing scale-up strategies and preparing techno-economic assessment. The PVTEAM industrial partners, Tata Steel, Pilkington NSG and Johnson Matthey, have a worldwide footprint on materials for the construction, coating and chemical industries. The consortium also includes SMEs, M-Solve and Semimetrics, which will provide means for the exploitation of new PVTEAM technologies in module fabrication and metrology.

为了实现 2050 年太瓦光伏 (PV) 容量目标，太阳能组件将需要：1。制造成本低、碳足迹低，能源回收时间短2。纳入建筑一体化系统3。基于低成本、丰富的元素 目前基于铜铟镓二硒化物 (CIGS) 和碲化镉 (CdTe) 的薄膜光伏技术已经证明了其满足前两个要求的潜力。这些技术目前的生产规模为 GW 级，约占全球光伏市场的 10%。然而，有源层中存在的关键元素（In、Ga和Cd）的丰度低、成本高且毒性高，这将严重限制该技术在未来几十年的发展。因此，材料替代和可扩展（非真空）加工技术的开发为英国抢占全球光伏市场的重要份额提供了绝佳的机会。PVTEAM 的目标是基于地球丰富的材料和可扩展的制造工艺为可持续薄膜光伏技术奠定基础。这将通过将材料和材料系统的工艺和生产技术开发到制造业可以采用的水平来实现。该计划涵盖材料规格和性能、电池和微型模块的集成以及开发扩大规模所需的技术。 PVTEAM 将指定一系列精心挑选的二元、三元和四元硫属化物和氧化物作为经过验证的商业材料的替代品。使用多级筛选方法，我们将根据“基质”和“上层”配置将表现最佳的候选者纳入工业流程中。该联盟由五所大学组成，拥有最先进的材料开发和表征以及设备制造、测试和集成到光伏模块的基础设施。材料加工将基于可持续产品工程中心（SPECIFIC）的可用设施，该中心将负责设计扩大规模战略并准备技术经济评估。 PVTEAM 的工业合作伙伴塔塔钢铁公司 (Tata Steel)、皮尔金顿 NSG 和庄信万丰 (Johnson Matthey) 在建筑、涂料和化学工业材料领域拥有全球足迹。该联盟还包括 SME、M-Solve 和 Semimetrics，它们将为在模块制造和计量领域开发新的 PVTEAM 技术提供手段。
