Narec . New and Renewable Energy Centre :: Narec is increasingly recognised as the national centre for the UK dedicated to accelerating the deployment and grid integration of renewable energy and low carbon generation technologies, utilising offshore wind, wave, tidal, solar PV and thermal power.

PV Projects

Havemor – High Added Value Modules for Building Integrated PV (BIPV)

Mar 2007 to Mar 2009. Total Project Fund – £1.2M

• British Consortium of a multicrystalline silicon supplier, cell manufacturer and BIPV module maker developing architecturally interesting designs for BIPV solutions
• Project partners: - Narec, PV Crystalox and Romag

 Project Objectives

• Development of processes for manufacture and commercialisation of coloured multi-crystalline solar cells and panels for use in the BIPV market
• Establish process control requirements that affect ARC thickness and hence colour appearance
• Demonstrate commercially interesting module designs utilising coloured cells for use in the BIPV market

Narec achievements to date

• Research and development into the ARC processing parameters that can effect colour variation
• Manufacture of many colour cell samples for assembly into commercial style panels
• Experimentation with new techniques in cell processing to establish novel cell colours and shapes for integration into aesthetically pleasing solar panels
• Submission of research to international conferences and achieving a Best Poster award at the 33rd IEEE Photovoltaic Specialist conference in San Diego USA for the Havemor work.
