"Photovoltaic cost simulation tool" is a virtual lab where every manufacturing step, equipment and materials can de defined. With our experience in the PV domain, we have implemented the main existing equipment and materials in the software. However, you will be able to make it evolve. Our open architecture program allows you to define specific equipment or materials and integrate them in a manufacturing process. Thus you will be able to measure the added value generated by an innovative concept. Inkjet, electroplating, ion implantation, printing… all kind of innovative manufacturing solution (with associate materials) can be simulated.
