Wafer-based crystalline silicon modules at 1 €/Wp: Final results from the CrystalClear integrated project

conference paper
CrystalClear [1-5] was a 5½-year Integrated Project carried out in the 6th Framework Program of the EU. It was finished in June 2009. The project aimed at developing technology for wafer-based silicon solar modules at 1 € per watt-peak manufacturing costs and a strongly improved environmental profile. The project was a joint effort of a consortium of 16 European companies, research institutes and university groups involved in wafer-based crystalline silicon PV technology. The project has shown that wafer-based multicrystalline-silicon solar modules can be produced at 1 € per watt-peak at a world-record efficiency of 16% and an energy pay-back time of less than 2 years in Southern Europe.
