HI-PROSPECTS - HIgh resolution PRinting Of Solar Photovoltaic EleCTrode Structures

光伏整车厂面临着降低太阳能电池成本的持续压力。此外，他们还面临着银电极结构的巨大价格波动和总体成本。第二代和第三代光伏电池制造商也面临ITOand高性能TCO镀膜玻璃的高成本。因此，能够提高电池效率的技术，以及用成本效益高的替代品取代昂贵材料的技术，产生了巨大的商机。HIPROSPECTSteam将提供高分辨率（< 3微米）静电喷墨（ESJET）技术，能够打印具有成本效益的纳米Cu前接触电极，用于硅电池和细线Cu网格结构，作为成本效益的替代品。此外，该团队将开发效率高达26%的硅钙钛矿串联电池，成本< 230英镑/ kWp。

PV OEMs face continued pressure to reduce the cost/W of solar cells. Additionally, they face significant price volatility andoverall cost for Ag electrode structures. Second and third generation PV cell manufacturers also face high costs for ITOand high performance TCO coated glass. Therefore technologies that enable cell efficiency gains and that facilitate thereplacement of expensive materials with cost effective alternatives generate strong business opportunities. The HIPROSPECTSteam will deliver a high resolution (< 3 microns) electrostatic ink jet (ESJET) technology capable of printingcost effective nano Cu front contact electrodes for Si cells and fine line Cu grid structures as a cost effective alternative toITO. In addition, the team will develop Si-Perovskite tandem cells with an efficiency of up to 26% at a cost < £230/ kWp.
