How to reach the target: PV Value Chain involvingAMPERE project represent a win-win situation where EGP (end-user) benefits from the know-howof Key EU companies and research centers while they get the opportunity to develop their expertise.
Whole PV value chain involved: - Wafer manufacturer- Equipment manufacturers- Automation manufacturer- Production Fab- End user
Main Targets- Pilot line in Catania to demonstrate to achieve industrial performance targets- Development of Equipments and highly automated systems for PV industrial manufacturing line- 1 GW Business Model and Life Cycle Assessment deployment- Development of standards and methodologies for bifacial solar devices characterization, testing
and certification
For Research Centers AMPERE project isthe perfect opportunity to use expertiseof the HJT technology to the benefit ofan innovative European PV manufacturer

High automation level: robots and automatic
conveyors. Manufacturing automation system
Data: usage of big data, open data, internet of
things, machine-to-machine computing for
centralization of information and data storage
Analytics: extraction of values from collected data.
Example: machine learning, optimizing machine
performances and yield by «learning» from collected
and analyzed data
Man - machine interaction: Application to
manufacturing and maintenance of «touch»
interfaces and «augmented reality» using tools such
as tablets, smart phones.
From digital to real: costs and performances
optimization using robotics, communications,
machine-to-machine interactions, new technologies
