New Heraeus diffusion consultancy ushers next step of efficiencygain for Photovoltaic industry
New service allows cell manufacturers to further optimize production processes andsignificantly increase cell efficiency by up to 0.2% through optimized connectionbetween wafer and silver paste
SHANGHAI, CHINA – April 19, 2017 – Heraeus Photovoltaics, a leading provider ofHeraeus Photovoltaics, a leading provider of technology solutions for the renewable energyindustry, has launched a new diffusion consultancy service to optimize the diffusion ofphosphor in crystalline Silicon photovoltaic wafers at the 11th SNEC InternationalPhotovoltaic Power Generation Conference & Exhibition in Shanghai. Phosphor is usedduring the cell production to optimize the transport of electrons between the silicon waferand the silver paste. The full potential of high quality materials can only be demonstrated,when the production processes are perfectly matched.
Heraeus’ new consultancy service allows manufacturers of solar cells to optimize theconnection between wafer and silver paste as well as an improved blue response and thussignificantly increase efficiency of the cells by up to 0.2%, optimize production processesand save resources and production time.
“All Heraeus products and services have the common goal: significantly enhance the overallefficiencies of our customers at cell level as well at production process level. We areconvinced that by increasing efficiencies throughout the whole value chain the costs ofrenewable energies can be reduced by a further 50 percent within the next five years.Heraeus expects to be able to contribute about one-third to this cost reduction,” saidAndreas Liebheit, President Heraeus Photovoltaics.
Heraeus offers a complete analysis, simulation and optimization framework to identify andimplement the optimal diffusion profile under its customer’s process conditions.
Collaborating with world class research institutions, cell manufacturers will be asked toprovide samples in various stages of their production process to perform loss mechanismanalysis. Heraeus will then use the resulting data to adjust the production parameters andoptimize the processes to gain the full potential of the material.
The new diffusion consultancy service will be applicable to PERC, BSF and n-type bifacialcells and can be adapted to different production processes.
Heraeus exhibits its full range of products and services at the 11th SNEC InternationalPhotovoltaic Power Generation Conference & Exhibition 2017 in Shanghai.
