Kurzbeschreibung (Englisch)	Ultralight Photovoltaic Structures Strategisches Projekt
Abstract (Englisch)	The objective is to develop lightweight, efficient and enduring prototype photovoltaic (PV) devices based on novel composite sandwich structures. The first application of these PV devices will be the Solar Impulse airplane. Two technologies will be considered: monocrystalline Si-based cells for the upper airplane skins, and dye-sensitized photovoltaic cell (DSC) for the bottom skins. The proposed research will focus on the key materials and reliability issues needed to adapt this lightweight photovoltaic device for the project. The key innovation lies in the functional integration of the solar generator within a lightweight structure. Such functional structure does not exist, and the project aims at determining its potential, in terms of cost/performance criteria.
