DENMARK – SOLAR CITY COPENHAGEN


∗ Project
  ∗ Set up by various organizations – both public, both private
    sector
  ∗ An organization that tries to establish Copenhagen as a
    demonstration and development center for solar energy
    systems and energy optimizations
  ∗ Hosts conferences on CO2 neutral city development and
    different energy cities
  ∗ Created a software that allows an individual to measure the
    amount of investment and the potential savings when
    implementing solar technology

 ∗ Project
   ∗ Subsidiary of the Uppsala university the Angstrom solar
     center laboratory is doing research on different solar cells and
     how to improve their efficiency
   ∗ In order to fulfill their goals they implement several projects
      ∗   Process development
      ∗   Next-generation CIGS
      ∗   Alternative thin-film materials
      ∗   PV systems in Sweden
   ∗ This research is primarily funded by Swedish Energy Agency
   ∗ Results that are achieved are reported in scientific journals
     and conferences

∗ Motivation
  ∗ The long-term goal of their activities is to develop the
    thin-film solar-cell technology so that it can provide
    renewable electricity in large scale. This requires that
    the solar cells become considerably more cost effective
    than they are today.

∗ Initiator
  ∗ Two associate professors, Mr. Uwe Zimmermann and
    Ms. Marika Edoff
∗ Lessons learned
  ∗ In the lab scale, CIGS solar cells approach the 20%
    efficiency limit. But to scale up from a few cm2 cells to
    large volume production of m2 modules without loosing
    too much in efficiency is a big challenge. Success
    requires development of robust, up-scalable and
    potentially low cost production processes.
