| Popis: | 33rd European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 947-951 The European PV manufacturing industry has faced strong foreign competition in the last years, which has led to a dramatic reduction of its production capacity. It has completely shifted from a massive leadership at the beginning of the new millennium, with five EU companies in the top ten manufacturers, to a situation of survival where few of them are struggling in an actual extremely competitive market. Europe still has solid industrial assets consisting of silicon & material suppliers, and high quality equipment suppliers that constitute the core of a value chain to be rebuilt. AMPERE, acronym for Automated photovoltaic cell and Module industrial Production to regain and secure European Renewable Energy market, was born for these purposes. AMPERE project aims to the setting-up of an innovative 100 MWp/y full-scale automated pilot line at the 3SUN module PV production line delivering a power module of 380 Wp (bifacial G/G 72-cells). Soon after the end of the project a rapid scale up to 240 MWp/y is planned and a route paving the way to the GWp/y scale will deliver the roadmap to reach production capacity stated. The project will operate with the support of the technological platforms for solar cells at CEA-INES and modules at MBR, the platform for advanced module technologies at MBS along with the support of high level research institutes (CSEM, EPFL, F-ISE, ENEA, CNR) as well as key EU companies covering the whole PV value chain (Norsun, Rise technology, Jonas & Redmann, ERM). Ampere has EGP as internal end-user and with the support of the project it will target an LCOE reduction of at least 15% compared to conventional PV mc-Si technology. |
