This project is funded by the zukunft.niedersachsen program.

In the “M12PV” project, a state-of-the-art research infrastructure for the production of highly efficient crystalline silicon solar cells is being set up at ISFH's SolarTeC. The equipment and measurement technology to be set up, together with the existing infrastructure, will enable the research and optimization of mass-produced solar cells and PV modules with state-of-the-art measurement technology and digital process control.

The infrastructure is designed for research into the production techniques of highly efficient single silicon solar cells and silicon solar cells for use in tandem solar cells. All systems can process or measure silicon wafers with an edge length of up to 230 mm.
