Optimised/Alternative Silicon Growth Technologies (from either liquid or gaseous phase) for PV Applications

Funds consortiums including a silicon wafer manufacturer to develop cheaper, lower-energy ways to grow silicon ingots and wafers for solar cells.

Proposals must involve a multidisciplinary consortium including at least one silicon ingot and wafer manufacturer, and include a business case and exploitation plan pointing to possible follow-on funding such as the Innovation Fund. This is a single-stage Innovation Action funded as a lump sum, implementing the European Partnership for Innovation in Photovoltaics (EUPI-PV), with two grants expecte
