3SUN, the solar cell and module factory located in Catania, Italy, is the largest Gigafactory in Europe and a technological excellence in the country. It is currently producing HJT solar modules panels and aims to reach full annual production of 3 GW, equivalent to about 15,000 solar modules per day. As of today, it employs around 600 people, and expects to create a further 2,000 direct and indirect jobs in Sicily.
Inaugurated in July 2011, it has begun production of thin-film modules using multi-junction technology. In 2018, the first bifacial heterojunction (HJT) panel was produced, and in 2020, it achieved records for efficiency from serial products (24.6%), laboratory (25%), and bifaciality coefficient (95%).
The modules use 3SUN CORE-H® technology, which combines crystalline silicon with amorphous silicon layers to maximise energy extraction from light:
At 3SUN, ‘Tandem’ technology is also being developed with CEA - INES, which combines heterojunction and perovskite.
