Projectdetails

Introduction

The TANGO project will develop an industrial-scale pilot line in the South of Italy for the manufacture of innovative, high-performance photovoltaic (PV) modules, increasing production capacity by 15 times, from 200 MW to 3 GW per year.

Technology Overview

Production will include bifacial heterojunction (B-HJT) PV cells, which offer a very important effective efficiency improvement of up to 20%, relative to current state-of-the-art cells, and an innovative module design called a Tandem structure.

Environmental Impact

The modules produced in one year (3 GW) will have the potential to generate 5,445 GWh of renewable electricity per year.

Once installed, all the modules produced over the first ten years of operation have the potential to avoid up to 25 Mt CO2e emissions.

Strategic Importance

The main innovation lies in scaling up production of these cells to a gigawatt scale – a key goal for the European PV industry.

The gigawatt-scale factory will foster European technology leadership in the manufacture of next-generation PV modules, thereby contributing to the reduction of energy dependency in Europe and improving European competitiveness in PV manufacturing.
