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

光伏OEM面临着降低太阳能电池成本/瓦的持续压力。此外，它们还面临着巨大的价格波动和银电极结构的全部成本。第二代和第三代光伏电池制造商还面临ITO和高性能TCO镀膜玻璃的高昂成本。因此，能够提高电池效率的技术，以及促进用具有成本效益的替代品取代昂贵材料的技术，产生了强大的商业机会。HIPROSPECTS将提供高分辨率(3微米)静电喷墨(ESJET)技术，能够打印成本效益高的硅电池纳米铜前接触电极和细线铜栅结构，作为一种经济高效的替代方案。此外，该团队将开发效率高达26%的硅钙钛矿串联电池，成本为&lt；GB 230/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.
