RHP Technology GmbH & Co KG Asociación de Industrias de las Technologias Electrónicas y de la Información del pais Vasco Munich University of Applied Sciences Accademia Europea Bolzano Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca Commissariat à l energie atomique et aux energies alternatives

5 The power of solar integration There is enough space in between! Mobile devices Building skins Vehicles Economies of scale is the dominant theme PV Panels are commodities Often not suitable for solarintegrated products

6 One size doesn t fit all

7 Aiming at the long tail Lot sizes Few standard products for many applications Served markets Underserved markets Costumer Orientation

8 Customizable Photovoltaics for Architecture and Product Design

9 Customized solar modules from the reel Economic Roll-to-Roll Production + Adaptable PV-Module Layout

10 Idea>>Development>>Product R2R Solar cell production Solar cell interconnection Laser + Printing

11 The Foil- an endless inorganic solar cell Low energy and material consumption Deposition on various substrates possible Allows integrated module interconnection Human hair µm

12 CIGS- a promising material Front Contact Buffer Layer Copper, Indium, Gallium, Selen Compound semiconductor Excellent absorption High efficiencies (on lab scale >22%) CIGS µm Back Contact Substrate Glass, Metals, Polymers

13 Shape, Size and Voltage on-the-fly Material removal only from top side through multilayer system-> short pulse laser Printing of dielectrics and conduits with inkjet

14 Enabler for New breed of products with integrated Photovoltaics = Autonomous devices and building elements by permitting new product designs at low costs and low production volumes

15 From a design related point of view Any shape, size and voltage Freedom to set junction boxes, recesses, etc. Lightweight (1-2 kg/sqm) and very thin (1-3 mm) Visual appearance can be influenced ( the disappearing solar cell, colored front grid)

16 Economical Advantages Reduced prototyping times & time to market Cost efficient small scale production (<100pcs) Just in time production Allows new business concepts (e.g. local manufacturing of special products)

17 Reality Check and Outlook All techniques were developed from scratch and are working (TRL 5-6) Pilot production for 300 mm wide foils commissioned Sampling of pilot customers is on the way 17
