As the world races toward net-zero emissions, demand for green energy is surging. The Industrial Technology Research Institute announced a new partnership with seven major domestic solar companies to establish the TBC Photovoltaic Technology Alliance, which aims to build a more resilient solar supply chain. Two key technologies were also unveiled: TBC solar cells and laser silver-coated copper technology, both designed to help upgrade Taiwan’s solar industry.

- By increasing the surface exposed to sunlight, it can generate more electricity.

This sleek all-black solar panel does not have the metal grid of traditional models. But,
how? The secret is on its back. The electrodes on new TBC solar cells have been moved to the rear, where they don’t block sunlight. It’s not just for looks. The increase in light-absorption surface areas pushes its power conversion efficiency to 25.5%.

Though we may not be able to compete with more general-purpose applications volume-wise, if we boost efficiency and forge a new way forward, Taiwan’s industry would benefit tremendously.

The world is transitioning to net-zero carbon emissions and demand for green energy is growing. That’s why ITRI has teamed up with seven leading Taiwanese solar power companies to establish the TBC Photovoltaic Technology Alliance, bringing together companies in the upstream and downstream supply chains. The institute also unveiled its self-developed laser-assisted silver-coated copper electrode technology, to reduce the industry’s consumption of costly silver. This tech reduces cell production costs by 8%, and is expected to generate NT$200 million output value annually.

By using our R&D platform and their equipment, materials and expertise, we hope to develop the next generation of technologies.

Taiwan’s solar industry, government, academia and research institutions are joining forces. With high-efficiency, homegrown green energy tech, they aim to capture the lucrative market opportunities as the world pushes toward net-zero emissions.
