PV CellTech Extra is the brand new annual on-line PV cell expertise and manufacturing platform, offering a assessment of the business forward of the complete in-person, stay, PV CellTech assembly in Berlin, Germany subsequent March.
Over three days, from 11 to 13 October 2022, PV CellTech Extra encompasses a host of invited business displays and webinars, wanting on the key developments within the sector over the previous few months.
To launch the primary PV CellTech Additional occasion, we have now a particular deal with – the inclusion of two fireplace chats that ought to develop into merely unmissable. This quick article explains the scope of the 2 fireplace chats, and the personnel concerned.
From megawatt to terawatt: analysis, manufacturing gear high-efficiency cells
Two fireplace chats are going to happen throughout PV CellTech Additional, wanting informally on the evolution of analysis breakthroughs, expertise switch actions and the function of manufacturing gear suppliers.
On Day One (11 October 2022), I shall be internet hosting a dialogue with Martin Inexperienced and Pierre Verlinden titled: From R&D breakthrough to mass manufacturing actuality: a historic perspective of PV expertise & what to anticipate out to 2030.
This can look again over the previous few many years and among the key R&D breakthroughs that have been pivotal in accelerating the efficiency of photo voltaic cells in mass manufacturing. Coming proper updated in 2022, there may even be a glance out to 2030 and what the business can look out for shortly.
On Day Two (12 October 2022), my subsequent internet hosting privilege shall be with Christian Buchner, Raymond de Munnik and Peter Wolf: From Megawatt traces to Gigawatt traces: the story of PV manufacturing gear and supply-chains.
Right here, we handle the vastly necessary function gear suppliers have had in enabling photo voltaic cell mass manufacturing with low price, excessive yields and optimised efficiencies. The dialogue will cowl early cell manufacturing gear, among the thin-film choices previously, the transfer from multi to mono, the introduction of PERC and the push to TOPCon and heterojunction at the moment underway.
Collectively, each fireplace chats ought to present a extremely pleasurable journey via time, as seen via the eyes of true specialists within the subject over the previous a number of many years. Personally, I can’t wait to listen to what everybody says, as we’re going into the chats with just about an open e book.
From a moderating standpoint, I’m going to maintain issues quite simple, because the PV business is orders of magnitude bigger at the moment and lots of the corporations and folks within the sector are new previously decade or so. Additionally, curiosity in expertise at the moment is as topical with downstream stakeholders (builders, buyers, O&Ms) as it’s with cell producers and R&D entities.
The displays and chats at PV CellTech Additional shall be accessible to hearken to stay or after at your leisure. Please observe the hyperlinks here to register for the occasion and when you’ve heard the 2 fireplace chats, please tell us if you happen to loved them!
