Call
Detailed Call Description
The proposal should address all of the following:
- Develop novel environmentally benign thin-film technology concepts that optimise PV cell and module architecture, increase durability, decrease losses (minimising also the cell-to-module efficiency gap) and target very high efficiencies (>25%) with flexibility for specific applications.
- Employ simple, scalable and low cost/low energy consumption and higher rate deposition processes.
- Ensure compliance with all relevant standards, including those related to the specific applications targeted.
- Perform device/module real–life (under actual outdoor operating conditions) characterisation for reliability and energy yield assessment.
- Perform a life cycle analysis to bring evidence of the lower environmental impact, better resource efficiency than current commercial PV technologies, and circularity potential.
