ALPHA-PV will advance lightweight (LW) photovoltaic modules for building integration by pairing nextgeneration polymers with a new processing route and frameless integration approach. A non-fluorinated front sheet will be developed that is optimized for transparency, weathering resistance, and mechanical stability. An instant edge-sealing approach will be developed, suitable for any size and shape of the modules. To reinforce the edges of a module, a novel vacuum-assisted thermoforming step will be incorporated to improve reliability. To cut down the cost and time of mounting, novel frameless mounting approaches will be developed. The targeted module size is 875 × 935 mm using PERC and IBC solar cells. Reliability will be demonstrated in accordance with IEC 61215/61730, utilizing mechanical, optical, and electrical diagnostics (including tensile, creep, peel, UV-Vis, FTIR, EL, IV, etc.). A façade demo site in Switzerland will monitor performance for ~1 year, targeting a low-cost façade integration approach.
