Industrial Pathways to Scalable, High-Performance Silicon PV: Interfaces, Metallisation, and Wafer Innovations for Terawatt Manufacturing
The second SMARTIES online workshop, this time organised by the SiLEAN project, took place on June 3rd.
Selected speakers included representatives from Solar Power Europe, the coordinator of the SHINE-PV, coordinator of the EMPOWER project, alongside the SiLEAN, BURST, and TERASUN project teams.
The event concluded with a roundtable discussion moderated by Delfina Munoz, vice chair of ETIP-PV, bringing together all speakers to discuss scaling challenges and industrial pathways for next-generation silicon PV technologies.
