Hi-BITS kick off meeting
October 19, 2023
Hi-Bits consortium gathered for the first time to kick off the Horizon Europe project committed to changing the European photovoltaic ecosystem by developing a new device architecture. The new approach will boost the thin-film manufacturing industry by enabling bifacial thin-film solar cells, ultra-thin CIGS solar cells, semi-transparent CIGS solar cells, and tandems.
The consortium aims at demonstrating the 3-year journey results at the prototype level, showcasing higher efficiency, lower raw material consumption, shorter and well-controlled processes, better module technologies and novel applications.
