At the European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference (Hamburg, Germany), IMEC presents a large-area solar with a conversion efficiency of 18.4%. Compared to the standard i-PERC cell process, IMEC's solar cell features a shallow emitter and advanced front metallization using copper plating. The results were obtained on large-area cells (125cm2), proving the industrial viability of the process.
Applied Materials, Inc. today extended its leadership in pioneering solar wafering technology with its new Applied HCT Diamond Squarer system. This innovative new system can reduce the cost of squaring silicon ingots by up to one-third while offering at least twice the cutting speed of conventional squaring processes.
At the European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference (Hamburg, Germany), IMEC presents a mechanically-stacked GaAs/Ge multijunction solar cell. This is the first promising demonstrator of IMEC's novel technology to produce mechanically stacked, high-efficiency multijunction solar cells, aiming at efficiencies above 40%.
WACKER will be using the 24th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference (EU PVSEC) to present several new products for the solar industry. One of the interesting new developments is TECTOSIL, a plastic film designed especially for the encapsulation of photovoltaic modules.
