BIL-COST EFFECTIVE, HIGH EFFICIENCY, INDUSTRIAL BACK CONTACT SILICON SOLAR CELLS WITH PASSIVATED CONTACTS A. PROJECT OBJECTIVES THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP BACK-CONTACT N-TYPE CELLS TO DEMONSTRATE EFFICIENCIES OF 26% OR BETTER ON A 300-MW PILOT SCALE, WHICH WILL OPERATE ALONGSIDE SILFAB’S MAIN N-TYPE CELL MANUFACTURING AT ITS FORT MILL, SOUTH CAROLINA FACILITY. THE PROJECT WILL ENABLE RAPID SCALE-UP OF COST EFFECTIVE, BACK-CONTACT CELL TECHNOLOGY INTO HIGH-VOLUME MANUFACTURING OF SILFAB’S NEXT LINE OF PREMIUM PV SOLAR MODULES.
