The KIS project succeeded to integrate additional semiconductor components in the wafer without compromising the production costs. Instead production costs were drastically reduced because of new innovative production methods that minimized the demand for equipment and the number of process steps. As the most significant results (A) alternating p and n emitters and (B) bypass diodes were integrated inside the PV wafer. (A) made it possible to introduce several independent cells on the very same wafer (B) facilitated that each of the multiple cells was having its own bypass diode thus resulting in higher yearly kWh yield by reducing shading effects. Also (B) facilitated the elimination of external junction boxes. New in-line mass production technologies were developed and thousands of KIS cells produced and laminated proved the concept and of initial 50% cost reduction. New future perspectives were shown possible by the intelligent high voltage multiple cell wafer: (1) use of ultra
