Datapaq has developed a temperature-profiling system designed specifically for monitoring a crystalline solar cell's temperature as it passes through the contact firing process – where accurate control of temperature is crucial to ensure maximum PV cell efficiency.
Consisting of data logger, thermal barrier and Insight software, this system accurately monitors the wafer temperature as it travels through the furnace without disrupting production, Datapaq says.
By using this system, cell manufacturers are able to pinpoint hot or cold spots in the process, ensure product specifications, save time and money setting up a furnace, and maximize product throughput, the company adds.
