Breu explicació del projecte / Brief explanation of your project
Thin film photovoltaics (TFPV) devices represent a step forward for solar energy as they expand the niches of application of PV and can be mass-produced in a cost-effective way. However, their industrial production is highly complex and small manufacturing deviations result in defective products and waste of high value materials, energy and time. In this context, MALMO is devoted to developing and demonstrating advanced statistical and machine learning process monitoring methodologies for the TFPV industry that minimize this issue enabling an early detection of deviations during manufacturing. These are implemented in a XRF-Raman-photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopic inspection platform in an existing industrial Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) solar foil roll-to-roll (R2R) manufacturing pilot line (SUNPLUGGED GmbH, Austria).
