Ultra lightweight PV modules (U-LIGHT)
Description
In the “U-Light” project new light weight modules, with high efficiency, long live modules are developed with regard to lowest cost for integration into PV systems achieving lowest values of levelized cost of energy (LCOE). The new light weight modules will be generated by the use of thin, strong, low cost glass and by the use of compositions (mineral or organic) like glass-fibre reinforced plastic (GRP).
