New Processing System For Large Wafer Sized Cells
Fraunhofer ISE Introduces ‘Groundbreaking’ Technology with ‘On-The-Fly’ Laser Equipment
Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE) has introduced a new solar cell processing system for large format solar cells, read M12 and G12, that can laser half a million contact openings per second and has an effective throughput of over 15.
The Bigger, The Better
While Cell Lines Got The Highest Impact From Change Of Wafers Size, The Current Crop Of Tools Not Only Are Flexible, But Supports High Productivity
In the entire value chain of PV manufacturing, cell processing gets the largest impact from a change in wafer size. That’s because almost every cell processing equipment is size sensitive; essentially, they all are batch processing tools.
