Crystalline Technology and Manufacturing (CTM) Group
• European group of eight crystalline solar cell manufacturers (Q-Cells, Deutsche Cell, Bosch Solar Energy, Schott Solar, Sovello, Sunways, SolarWatt and Solland) is working together within SEMI in a pre-competitive environment to address the technology challenges facing the photovoltaic industry, and recognizes the need for standards.
• The priority of the CTM Group will be the definition of the development processes for raw materials, cell technology and cell manufacturing.
• The CTM Group has established a crystalline solar cell technology roadmap up to the year 2020 – www.itrpv.net
