1 PV Custom Fit Ando Kuypers Program Developer Solliance

2 28 juni PV Custom Fit Introduction BIPV in the Netherlands Production technology for Custom Fit PV Demonstrator cases

3 28 June, Dutch consequences of climate change from a European perspective Brandnertal, Austria, 2015 Educational hiking route Solar powered! Example Footer text (insert > Footer)

4 28 June, Dutch consequences of climate change from a European perspective Brandnertal, Austria Educational walking route Solar powered! Example Footer text (insert > Footer)

5 28 June, Dutch counter measures against climate change Space for wind energy 4,5 GW by 2023 Example Footer text (insert > Footer)

6 28 June, Dutch counter measures against climate change Space for solar energy Present total Dutch energy use 2150 PJ /yr - including conversion losses 2650 PJ /yr Potential (space) for solar heat PJ/yr Potential for photovoltaics 400 PJ/yr km 2 roofs (60% of 650km 2 is suited) 66 GWp km 2 civil works km 2 parking lots - Excluding free field space Total area the Netherlands: km 2. So 400 km 2 is 1%

7 March 8th, National action plan photovoltaic energy: from 1,5 GW now towards 100 GW

8 Solliance: High Tech Campus Eindhoven Eindhoven (NL) Leuven (B) Aachen (D) Triangle Solliance Building Imec - Leuven FZ Jülich

9 Solliance: a public private partnership in solar Solliance research partners Solliance industry partners

10 2020 Ambition Demonstrate unique features of thin film PV in real projects Enable economically feasible zero-energy buildings with thin film solar by introducing technologies for customization Enable large scale industrial activity for PV integrated products

11 28 juni Interreg project PV Custom Fit Started , duration 3 years, 7 million Project partners: Solliance + Leuven University + ZUYD SOLLIANCE IS A PARTNERSHIP OF EUROPEAN RESEARCH ORGANIZATIONS AND INTERNATIONAL INDUSTRIAL PARTNERS, WORKING IN THIN FILM PHOTOVOLTAIC SOLAR ENERGY

12 Low cost PV Further increase of PV in our built environment will require more aesthetics or invisability

13 Custom size PV at low cost Karel de Grotelaan, Eindhoven 28 juni Series production of integrated BIPV components with free size PV modules

14 Opportunity 28 juni The Netherlands: 7 million houses 4 million in rows km (2x Amsterdam Bejing)

15 City of the Sun, Heerhugowaard, The Netherlands. Foto: KuiperCompagnons.

16 Large scale renovation of existing housing now starting Prefab roof elements - Stroomversnelling

17 PV in Netherlands: Relatively high acceptance of thin film technogy (CIGS) Now >1,5 GW PV installed Of which in 2015: 0,45 GW Of which thin film: 0,05 GW (>10%) Thin film PV introduced on Dutch market since 2 years: tripled in 2015, doubling expected in 2016 Density of PV installations (installed Wp)

18 Thin film CIGS: Solar Frontier Powermonitoring of 1518 plants CONFIDENTIAL: KIC EIT EFFIC meeting april 25th 2016

19 Solar Frontier Popularity of CIGS in the Netherlands: Distribution of recent Solar Frontier installations on public website of German SF office CONFIDENTIAL: KIC EIT EFFIC meeting april 25th 2016

20 Solliance: Equipment development for thin film PV Integrated system for free form back end interconnection Back-end interconnection fully digital: enables free-form modules reduced dead-zone without cost increase no alignment and cleaning steps needed specifically CIGS: reduces P1 shunt loss Connects mass volume front-end manufacturing with high mix back-end products Increased design and (or) dimensional flexibility

21 May 25th Monolytic interconnection

22 Classic in-process vs Back-end (for any TF-PV) In the classical process cleaning ( ) and alignment ( ) steps are needed

23 PV CustomFit: Towards low cost free size and shape Base substrates Glass, metal, plastic Tooling, materials, processes Semi-finished products on glass or foil PV value chain

24 PV CustomFit: Towards low cost free size and shape Base substrates Glass, metal, plastic Tooling, materials, processes Semi-finished products on glass or foil Finished PV modules on demand PV value chain

25 PV CustomFit: Towards low cost free size and shape Base substrates Glass, metal, plastic Tooling, materials, processes Semi-finished products on glass or foil Finished PV modules on demand PV value chain BIPV value chain Inactive building components Mechanical, electrical & system integration Active building components Application domains

26 Translucent PV for building components enabled by similar technical approach Translucent OPV: 50%

27 PV Custom Fit: Residential roofs and verandas, light weight roofs for commercial buildings, replacement asbestos roofs

28 28 June, solar facades ZigZag Solar (NL)

29 and PV in infrastructure: SolaRoad Project Embedding of crystalline or flexible thin film PV in roads Artist impression envisaged thin film PV future Realised 2015 with crystalline Si PV (
