Platform-ZERO demonstrates significant progress in achieving Zero Defect Manufacturing for the Photovoltaic Industry

The Platform-ZERO project team gathered in Brussels on July 4th, 2024, with the European Commission (HaDEA agency) and an external expert to review and assess the project’s progress.

At the 18-month mark, the Platform-ZERO project is making strides in improving production quality and reducing fabrication costs of photovoltaic devices through the development and implementation of innovative monitoring and AI strategies across four pilot plants in Europe.

Platform-ZERO’s innovative approach is being tested in four pilot plants in Spain, Germany, Austria, and Poland, focusing on smart coatings, high-efficiency solar modules, and flexible solar foils. Each pilot plant is showcasing the progress with a dedicated demonstrator:

  • Spain: Smart coatings for enhanced PV performance.
  • Germany: High-efficiency solar modules.
  • Austria: Flexible solar foils for diverse applications.
  • Poland: Advanced photovoltaic materials and processes.
