Breakdown of Higher Costs n-type Wafers
High Quality Polysilicon, Low RCZ Content, No Market for Low Grade Wafers Are Key Drivers For High Costs Associated with n-type Wafers for HJT
The differentiation of HJT compared to main stream technologies such as PERC starts with the wafer base – the technology in today’s context employs n-type wafers.
Constraints on Wafer Size for HJT
While HJT Not Only Requires Superior Quality N-Type Wafers Compared to P-Type Based Peers, The Technology is Not Yet Ready To Embrace Real Large Wafers
It is well known that HJT requires a completely different fab setup and process sequence. The change in fact starts at the wafer level.
Supply Chain Getting Stronger for HJT
HJT Is Seeing A Fresh Demand From PV Makers And A Part Of This Credit Goes To Equipment And Material Supply To Support HJT Processing Getting Stronger
Currently, several players are active in the HJT arena representing different streams—PV producers, equipment suppliers, research institutes and material suppliers.
