Roadmap & bankability
A staged programme that turns contact physics into evidence manufacturers, developers and lenders can assess.
Laboratory testing on a 20-cell sample reports an approximately +90 mV voltage gain, together with improvements in current and fill factor.
Transfer the contact architecture to production-relevant wafers and larger batches. Measure repeatability, deposition uniformity and thermal compatibility.
Demonstrate the process under factory conditions. Establish throughput, manufacturing yield, uptime and fully loaded incremental cost.
Produce complete modules and undertake recognised accelerated reliability testing, including thermal cycling, humidity and potential-induced degradation.
Test modules across climates, including Southern Africa. Record actual energy yield, degradation, grid constraints and the resulting project economics.
What bankability requires
More efficient cells are one part of the evidence. A generating asset also needs dependable degradation behaviour, module reliability, warranties and a credible manufacturer.
Repeatable performance, controlled yield, process compatibility and verified cost.
Independent testing, long-term reliability evidence and a credible warranty framework.
Measured field output and operating history that can support lender underwriting.
The modelled energy benefit may receive limited debt-sizing credit until the required evidence is established. Industrial certification and the completed field programme remain validation milestones.
