  1. The French Solar Energy Institute : Objectives & perspectives Philippe Malbranche February 2007

  2. INES Foundation act: 3rd of July 2006 Signature of the partnership agreement with Mr Goulard Minister of Research • An institute based on a collaborative scheme : • the alliance of CEA, CNRS and CSTB • partnerships with manufacturers • A very young structure, around one year old

  3. The main French solar manufacturers are in the Rhône-Alpes region Manufacturers involved in both solar thermal and PV More than 2/3 of the French turnover Why INES ? Lens FEE CIAT Somfy Limoges EMIX Aix Clipsol • The wish of the Savoie department and of the Rhône-Alpes region, to support economic development • The strategic alliance of CEA, CNRS and CSTB on this topic Lyon Tenesol Bourgoin Photowatt CHAMBERY Pechiney Grenoble Schneider Toulouse Tenesol Montpellier APEX BP Aubagne Giordano Perpignan Tecsol

  4. Three types of activities « Ines Education » Training R&D Demonstration RDI 100 people

  5. Which thematics are addressed ? The ambition is to address the whole chain, from materials to the applications Towards Zero Energy buildings 100 kWh/m2/y  + X (Positive energy houses) Our mission : to develop components, processes and systems to make solar energy an efficient and affordable solution Solar Systems (electric, thermal) Electric: 6 €/Wp  2 €/Wc Thermal: 1 €/Wp  0,4 €/W Solar devices (PV, active or passive solar ) Material Silicon 100€/kg  15 €/kg

  6. 1. Solar cells and modules 5. Solar building design 4. Solar thermal systems 2. Electrical systems 3. Storage systems

  7. N The R&D facilities « Photosil » Silicon Material Platform Existing « RESTAURE » National Silicon Cell technology platform 2008 Future Solar Thermal Platform Solar electricity platform Nanocomposite Solar cell platform 15 M€ buildings From 2007 Experimental Houses 15 M€ Equipment INES Campus 2009 INES main Building « headquarter »

  8. Photosil, the silicon material platform Plasma purification & Crystalisation SEGREGATION Pilot facilities in the commissioning phase Very promising results with 14% efficiency already obtained

  9. Towards a new source of silicon supply APOLLON SOLAR Si-MG Transfert Fusion 2 and plasma treatment Fusion 1 Broken pieces Quick crystallisation Directional Crystallisation Segregation Unmolding Si-PV Si-SoG

  10. :H :H SiNx SiNx n+ p p+ Al The Si Cell RESTAURE Research platform • Platform dedicated to Silicon Cells Technology • Pilot line for silicon solar cells processing since February 2004 • Clean Room: 10000 class,240 m2, will be extended to 1000 in 2008 in Chambéry • Industrial tools (b) • Up to 200 x 200 mm2 wafer size • ADVANCED R&D PLATFORM FOR INDUSTRIAL INVESTIGATION • Innovative developments, Process Stabilization, Opened to Partnerships and knowledge-transfer services Tools, Process Steps, Pilot Line, Integration, Cells Testing PECVD chamber Screen printer IR Furnace POCl3 diffusion • 16,7 % multi-C 150 x 150 mm2 with std process

  11. The nanocomposite solar cell lab : processing and characterisation equipment November 06 Efficiency = 4,2 % on 28 mm², main activities on stability

  12. The PV systems lab • Characterization, power system monitoring and analysis • Design of innovative solutions for grid-connected and stand-alone applications • Demonstration services

  13. PV systems lab : outline of the microgrid system Champ PV x kW Lynx 2 DC Transformateur x MVA Com Local technique démonstrateurs AC Champ PV 10 kW Champ PV : 100 kW Démonstrateurs (projet INCAS) G Lynx 1 Cogénération Puma 2 et 3

  14. Storage system test and R&D facilities Development of low-cost reference electrodes terminal métallique terminal métallique Électrolyte immobilisé Électrolyte immobilisé bouchon permettant la bouchon permettant la compression/stabilisation mécanique compression/stabilisation mécanique joint torique joint torique bouchon/membrane de graphite bouchon/membrane de graphite A world-class « storage system test facility » 50 test benches for the evaluation of several storage technologies (-30°C à +60°C) 2 characterisation laboratories

  15. Transport applications EV and HV Stand-alone systems Gradual evolution Distributed generation Storage systems : a coherence between building and transportation applications Storage additional cost Solar and building applications 0,50€/kWh Safety Energy management 0,10€/kWh Current, power C100 C10 C1 10C

  16. Solar thermal systems lab : Test facility for kombi-systems : First test on a CLIPSOL heating system Design and characterisation of solar thermal systems (heating and cooling) : - Domestic hot water systems, - Kombi-systems, - Cooling systems (dessicant cooling, absorption)

  17. The Incas platform : a research tool for the design and the performance validation of 0-energy buildings • Technical Building • Control of monitoring activities • Demonstration of : • Solar cooling systems • Electrical storage systems • Building components test facility • Passys cells • Structures for roofing and façade components Two 0-energy houses Objective : design passive houses with a special focus on summer comfort, and solar energy integration LYNX II LYNX Zone d’exclusion aéroport 75 m 138 m Zone plateforme INCAS

  18. LYNX II LYNX Zone d’exclusion aéroport • Later on : • Building of many more « concept homes », through a request for proposals opened to consortia of architects, manufacturers, and builders • Objectives • Innovations • Energy consumption and comfort • Cost-effectiveness • Results : • Development of models and software, dedicated to the design of energy-efficient buildings • Innovative constructive solutions • Building performance characterisation • Performance improvement services

  19. The INES headquarters : an energy-efficient building PHASE 3 Commissioning in 2009 Michel Remon Michel Remon (français) Behnisch (Allemand) Mario Cucinella (Italien) Mario Cucinella Retour : 2 mars 2007 Jury du concours : 17 avril 2007 Behnisch

  20. State-of-the art research & demonstration facilities, opened to : Researchers Industrial partnerships, start-ups A training platform through INES Education, offering knowledge transfer services A large dynamic due to : The coherence of the strategy The complementarity of the partners The investments of local and regional collectivities A strong interest in : PV : mainly 2.1.5 to 2.1.11 CSP : 2.5.1 Renewables for heating and cooling : 4.1.1 to 4.1.3 Smartgrids : 7.1, and 7.3.2 on value of storage Conclusions
