Solar Photovoltaic Printing Technology Advancement Through Collaborative Effort




Dupont and Applied Materials are collaborating to increase the efficiency and manufacturing yield of solar cells through creative formulation of metallization pastes aligned with silcon photovoltaic cell production equipment. ...
... "Photovoltaic metallization pastes are screen printed onto the surface of solar cells in a pattern of grid lines which serve to collect electricity produced by the cell and transport it out. To maximize efficiency in the solar cell, the multiple printing technology will reduce the shadowing effect of wide grid lines on solar cells and improve electrical conductivity. Applied Baccini Esatto Technology together with DuPont Solamet photovoltaic metallization pastes enables narrower and taller grid lines to be precisely printed in two or more layers. In addition to demanding precise alignment of the patterning system, multiple printing requires the paste to be finely tuned to perform consistently during all printing passes. " ...
