NextBase
Next-generation interdigitated back-contacted silicon heterojunction solar cells and modules by design and process innovations
The NextBase project, deals with the development of innovative high performance c-Si solar cells and modules based on the interdigitated back-contacted silicon heterojunction (IBC-SHJ) solar cell concept targeting cells with efficiency above 26.0 % and corresponding solar modules with efficiency above 22.0 %. At the same time, the NextBase project pursues the development of a new industrial manufacturing tool and low-cost processes enabling a competitive IBC-SHJ solar module cost of < 0.35 €/Wp.
Start of the project: 01. 10. 2016
End of the project: 30. 09. 2019
Project budget: € 4 452 850
