A EUROPEAN PROJECT SUPPORTED THROUGH
THE SEVENTH FRAMEWORK PROGRAMME
FOR RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT
CHEETAH knowledge Exchange Portal is an integral part of CHEETAH project web site powered and developed by DTE unit of ENEA ©2014 - 2018 with support of all CHEETAH Partners. Starting from early 2018, CHEETAH KEP moved its first steps to became EERA Knowledge Exchange Platform for PV Technology (KEPT-PV). A new name for the previous platform characterizing our will to serve better and more efficiently in Knowledge Exchange a wider European and International PV RTD community.

CHEETAH Final Event - European Solar Technology Forum

30 November 2017 - was held in Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie (HZB), premises in  Berlin, Germany,  CHEETAH Final Event - European Solar Technology Forum

CHEETAH’s objectives for the 4 years of the program were threefold:

  • Developing new concepts and technologies for waferbased crystalline silicon PV (modules with ultrathin cells), thin film PV (advanced light management) and organic PV (very low-cost barriers), resulting in (strongly) reduced cost of environmentally benign/abundant/non-toxic materials and increased module performance.
  • Fostering long-term European cooperation in the PV R&D sector, by sharing knowledge, organizing workshops, exchange and training researchers inside and outside Europe, efficient use of infrastructures, promoting best practices and standards.
  • Accelerating the implementation of innovative technologies in the PV industry, by a strong involvement of SolarPower Europe and IT-InnoEnergy in this program.

This event as an unique networking opportunity to get to know leading experts from research and also industry. summarises 4 years’ research results, and how to implement and continue the innovations in the years to come in these key areas:

  • Water based Crystalline Silicon - "Getting below a 100 microns"
  • Thin Film PV - « Thinner and more efficient through smart cells »
  • Organic PV & Perovskite - « Instrinsic long term stability without special encapsulation »
