Made in Europe Photovoltaics
MCPV is advancing its multi-gigawatt cell and module manufacturing scale-up implementation, to meet the fast growing demand of the European solar PV markets.
We are pleased to contribute to “Made in EU Photovoltaics,” a collaborative documentary project focused on the growth and innovation of the European solar PV industry.
Global Solar Growth
To meet our climate targets the world will need to reach an installed solar PV capacity of 50TW by 2040. From today's total annual global solar PV deployment volume of about 400 GW/yr, we will need to reach more than one TW/yr deployment well before the end of the decade, and soon thereafter at least 3 TW/yr.
HjT Technology
Silicon heterojunction technology (HjT) stands at the cutting edge of solar cell innovation, seamlessly combining the unique attributes of both crystalline silicon (c-Si) and amorphous silicon (a-Si) in a tandem cell design. This advanced integration harnesses the inherent strengths of silicon materials to significantly boost efficiency and overall performance. A distinct feature of HjT is its exceptional ability to achieve high energy conversion efficiencies, all while utilising manufacturing processes that can be optimised for sustainability and low carbon footprint. As the demand for effective and carbon neutral energy solutions continues to rise, alongside the EU's commitment to energy resilience, HjT emerges as a compelling choice for solar cell and module production. It not only meets the stringent performance requirements of today's market but also aligns with the growing EU and global requirements for sustainable practices and resource efficiency.
We're at the start of the global solar technology growth curve
Total global PV installed capacity exceeded 1TW in 2022. In order to meet climate targets PV deployment capacity will need to reach 1TW per year by 2030.
MCPV is developing advanced manufacturing capacity of HJT cells and modules
A strong commitment to innovation, advanced manufacturing, and collaboration with leading institutes positions MCPV to produce reliable, high-performance solar cells and modules.
In the initial growth phase, a 400MW manufacturing pilot line will be installed by 2026, followed by a ramp up to 4GW production line ready by 2028, creating over 600 new high-quality jobs. This light house project will then be replicated with the aim to reach 15GW of Made-in-Europe high efficiency PV production capacity by the early 2030’s.
Next Level Solar Manufacturing
We leverage the state of the art in technology development, but believe that it takes more. How? We set the goal to deliver multi GW scale HjT manufacturing capacity, designed for sustainable competitiveness, ease of replicability and scale up, deploying the most advanced technologies and industrial production methods to deliver the most competitive LCOE.
