Results of the Project 'AdmMo' – Cell and Module Development towards a 318 W Module

35th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 825-831
In December 2014, the publicly funded project "AdmMo: Advanced multi-crystalline Modules" initiated by Hanwha Q-Cells started with the partners Heraeus, Frintrup, Innolas-Solutions, Meyer Burger Germany, Wavelabs, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Bergakademie Freiberg, Fraunhofer CSP and Fraunhofer ISE. The content of the project, which ended on April 30th, 2018, is a comprehensive and consistent further development of PERC cell and module technology. The overall project objective is a reduction of the “Levelized Cost of Electricity” (LCoE) to < 6 € ct / kWh in relation to the southern German region. For this purpose, a substantial cost reduction with simultaneous increase in performance of the cells and modules as well as a service life of the modules extended to 30 years was aspired. Our conference paper gives an overview of the most important results. Among other things, Cz-PERC solar cells with efficiencies > 22 % and based on this a module of 120 half-cells with a power output of 318 watts is demonstrated.
