Low cost photovoltaic modules through reduced silicon consumption

目的：该项目旨在开发生产太阳能电池和光伏组件的新方法和新工艺。这些模块将由非常薄、狭窄的硅太阳能电池制成。由于这些模块比传统模块使用更少的硅，因此它们的价格有望大幅降低。

Aims: The project aims to develop new methods and processes for the production of solar cells and photovoltaic modules. The modules will be made from very thin, narrow silicon solar cells. Because the modules use much less silicon than conventional modules, they are expected to be substantially cheaper. Expected outcomes: It is expected that the project will lead to implementation of the proposed technology in a pilot plant and commercialisation thereafter. Significance: Successful commercialisation will result in a significant reduction in the cost of photovoltaic modules as well as substantial economic benefits to the commercial partner and Australia.
