Obiettivo Objectives:The project has the aim to increase the efficiency of CdTe thin film solar modules at assured stability by developing a new, low resistance, stable back-contact suited for mass production and to demonstrate the feasibility of a stable efficiency of 13 % for modules of 30 x 30 cm2 size. Technical approach. This goal shall be achieved through development of a back contacting process by study and variation of "classical" and new contact materials (such as low bandgap, p+-semiconductors), doping and deposition processes in a cyclic two-step iteration procedure, narrowing-down of the different options and techniques to one final procedure under continuous experimental and theoretical analysis, diagnosis and testing. This shall be performed by a consortium including a SME-type industrial company and six European research institutions, well equipped and experienced with development, analysis and modelling of the CdTe thin film solar cell from work done in part within past cooperative projects. Expected achievements and exploitation. It is expected to realise a technology for production of significantly improved CdTe modules of stable efficiency of 13%. The results will be exploited by the industrial partner in a production plant to be built in Germany able to manufacture 60 x 120 cm2 size modules at a capacity of 100,000m2 per year. 0101 Campo scientifico engineering and technologymaterials engineeringcoating and filmsnatural sciencesphysical scienceselectromagnetism and electronicssemiconductivity Programma(i) FP4-NNE-JOULE C - Specific programme for research and technological development, including demonstration in the field of non-nuclear energy, 1994-1998 Argomento(i) 03020101 - R&D on PV cells: mono- and poly-crystalline Si, thin film and other promising materials, in order to improve their efficiency, reliability and cost-effectiveness Invito a presentare proposte Data not available Meccanismo di finanziamento CSC - Cost-sharing contracts Coordinatore ANTEC - ANGEWANDTE NEUE TECHNOLOGIEN GMBH Contributo UE Nessun dato Indirizzo Industriestrasse 2-4 65779 KELKHEIM Germania Mostra sulla mappa Costo totale Nessun dato Partecipanti (7) Classifica in ordine alfabetico Classifica per Contributo UE Espandi tutto Riduci tutto Commission of the European Communities Italia Contributo UE Nessun dato Indirizzo 21020 Ispra - Varese Mostra sulla mappa Costo totale Nessun dato Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule - ETH Zürich Svizzera Contributo UE Nessun dato Indirizzo 1,Technoparkstrasse 8005 Zürich Mostra sulla mappa Costo totale Nessun dato INSTITUT FUER SOLARENERGIEFORSCHUNG GMBH; HAMELN/EMMERTHAL Germania Contributo UE Nessun dato Indirizzo Am Ohrberg 1 EMMERTHAL Mostra sulla mappa Costo totale Nessun dato Solaronix SA Svizzera Contributo UE Nessun dato Indirizzo 129,Rue de L'Ouriette 1170 Aubonne Mostra sulla mappa Costo totale Nessun dato Universiteit Gent Belgio Contributo UE Nessun dato Indirizzo 41,Sint-Pietersnieuwstraat 9000 Gent Mostra sulla mappa Costo totale Nessun dato University of Durham Regno Unito Contributo UE Nessun dato Indirizzo South Road DH1 3LE Durham Mostra sulla mappa Costo totale Nessun dato Università degli Studi di Parma Italia Contributo UE Nessun dato Indirizzo Viale delle Scienze 43100 Parma Mostra sulla mappa Costo totale Nessun dato
