Cost-reduction through material optimisation and higher energy output of solar photovoltaic modules - joining Europes's research and development efforts in support of its PV industry - CHEETAH

Three main objectives of the CHEETAH project are:

1. Developing new concepts and technologies for wafer-based crystalline silicon PV (modules with ultrathin cells), thin-film PV (advanced light management), and organic PV (very low-cost barriers), resulting in (strongly) reduced cost of environmentally benign/abundant/non-toxic materials and increased module performance.
2. Fostering long-term European cooperation in the PV RD sector, by sharing knowledge, organizing workshops, exchange and training researchers inside and outside Europe, efficient use of infrastructures, promoting best practices and standards.
3. Accelerating the implementation of innovative technologies in the PV industry, by a strong involvement of EPIA and EIT-KIC InnoEnergy in this program.
