Agenda

• • • Full update on who is making what today in a 300-GW-plus annual solar cell production environment
    • What is the expected market share of n-type cells in 2023?
    • What will cell production look like when the industry gets to annual TW levels

Moderator: Finlay Colville, PV Tech

• Who are the market-leaders in TOPCon cell production today?
• How much TOPCon production is taking place outside China?
• What process flow improvements are happening now to increase mass production efficiency levels?
• Where are costs for TOPCon cell manufacturing?

• Will the new globalization of cell manufacturing accelerate faster, cheaper and higher-performing GW-scale production lines?

Moderator: Anis Jouini, CEA-INES

• Special focus on printing, metallization, and silver consumption
• R&D and technology-transfer activities for back-contact cells – what efficiencies and costs are expected from 2024 onwards?

Moderator: Finlay Colville, PV Tech

Join us in the networking area after the conference has finished for the day for relaxed drinks and networking.

• Hear from the heterojunction market-leaders making HJT cells at GW-scale.
• Understand how much cell production is happening in China now, and across the world.
• Where are HJT cell efficiency levels from the new GW-scale fabs in operation?
• Making HJT cell production profitable – what challenges are remaining?

Moderator: Peter Wolf, Maxwell Technology

• Hear from the first wave of global entrants, now ramping up pilot lines to move cell manufacturing beyond the single-junction limit.
• What cell architectures are likely to be the first to be moved to the GW-capacity level – and when will this happen?
• Making product commercially – what needs to be done before solar cell production can make the move to tandem or advanced hybrid concept at the 100-GW-plus level?

Moderator: Christian Buchner, Schmid

• The push for cell manufacturing outside China and Southeast Asia – where are the new cell production lines in India, Europe and the U.S.?
• What cell technologies are being adopted within this new wave of global cell diversification?
• How can cell production be profitable and meet ESG goals in these new fabs?

Moderator: Johan Lindahl, European Solar Manufacturing Council (ESMC)

• Learn about the different roadmaps underpinning solar cell production as it moves to annual TW levels.
• What is the roadmap for R&D and technology-transfer in the coming years?
• Is there a realistic sustainability roadmap for cell production globally?
• What is the cell technology roadmap looking like and how might this evolve under different scenarios?
