EU PVSEC 2012 (Frankfurt, Germany) – September 24, 2012 – At this week’s European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition (27th EU PVSEC, 24/08-28/08), imec and SolarWorld will present ultra-thin (100µm), large-area (156x156mm2) PERC-type mono-silicon solar cells integrated in a 255Wp class A module. The PERC-based modules, developed by imec and SolarWorld, were manufactured on SolarWorld’s fully automated production line without significant wafer breakage. This feat proves the robustness of the PERC technology and the high quality of SolarWorld’s module manufacturing. PERC-type silicon solar cells are promising candidates for next generation solar cell concepts for mass … Read More → "Imec and SolarWorld present ultra-thin PERC-based PV module that achieves Class A module efficiencies"
