Innovative manufacturing technologies for low-cost, high efficiency PERC-based PV modules

The goal this project was to accelerate the deployment of innovative solar cell and module technologies that reduce the cost of PERC-based modules to best-in-class. New module integration technology was to be used to reduce the cost and reliance on conventional silver bus bar pastes and enhance cell efficiency. On the cell manufacturing front, the cost of PERC solar cells was to be reduced by introducing advanced metallization approaches to increase cell efficiency. These advancements will be combined with process optimization to target cell efficiencies in the range of 21 to 21.5%. This project will also explore the viability of a bifacial PERC solar cell design to enable cost savings through the use of thin silicon wafers. This project was terminated on 4/30/17 after four months of activity due financial challenges facing the recipient.

Testing of Prototype PV Modules (CRADA Final Report)

The American-Made Solar Prize is a prize competition from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) that is designed to revitalize U.S. solar manufacturing. The competition aims to support the growth of U.S. solar manufacturing and reenergize American energy innovation by tapping into Americans’ competitive spirit and the nation's unparalleled innovation ecosystem, leveraging national labs, incubators, facilities, and more. Finalists have been chosen based on the work they intend to do with a manufacturing partner to advance their innovation to market. NLR will provide technical advisement to assist participants in demonstrating the full potential of their product.
